Yeah, they are both good boxers at their respective weight classes, but it's a mismatch. Cotto is too big and will pressure JMM and probably left hook him pretty bad. Not to diss JMM, though, he's a better boxer, but @ his own weight.
JMM always gets caught with hooks and that is Cotto's money punch. That said JMM usually only gets caught early then gets serious about taking that away.
To me it hinges on can JMM make Cotto back up, if JMM can do that he should win if Cotto can stand his ground or come forward (for the better portion of the fight) then I would have to favor Cotto.
It would be fairly interesting though, I view JMM as a notch above Cotto but with size and JMM's weakness for hooks makes it tough to roll with the smaller man.
Oh come on. Good size Jr. Middle who comes in at 170 vs. a tiny lightweight? My two favorite fighters, but you can't actually say it's an appropriate fight.
This isn't even debatable Cotto is too big.Marquez gets dropped by lightweights & smaller.He starts slow & gets caught early.When Cotto catches him early,he goes to sleep.This fight won't pass 6 rounds.
