Miguel Cotto vs. Victor Ortiz - Who wins?

[Sugar Sting Ray]

cotto's defense and skills are still too much for ortiz. I like cotto in this fight to win. ortiz has better than a puncher's chance tho because he is pretty big and strong and he is southpaw.


margarito makes berto take a knee and quit. no ****in doubt about it


this is a great fight. clottey has a good chance to outbox mosley if he can keep mosley behind the jab like winky.

I'm shocked. You're basically saying that the top 5 of 2009 would beat the top 5 of today, even in the physical condition that they are in today?

Today's Cotto beats today's Ortiz who is at no. 3?
Today's un-rated Margarito beats today's young Berto who is at no. 6?
Today's Clottey beats number 4 Mosley?

You must think highly of Pacquiao then because he beat current versions of Cotto, Margarito, and Clottey - three people who you think would beat today's top welterweights.

Stylewise I think Clottey can beat Mosley.

As for Cotto's defense mentioned by a previous poster, I am not sure about it. I guess one would argue that Mayorga's punches are more unpredictable but I was not impressed with Cotto's D in the last fight.

60/40 cotto because he is a bit more crisp with his combinations and his jab is a little better. but victor can stop cotto too if he catches him - he is definitely a finisher if he smells blood.

This is what's wrong about boxing. People are too stuck in the past that they don't wanna give the younger fighters a chance against an older shot fighter lol Ortiz stops Cotto by round 11. He stops Cotto late only cuz Margarito ruined him. Cotto couldn't get rid of a shot Mayorga who a 35 year old DLH with a two year lay off destroyed while Mayorga was in his prime. Everyone knew that Cotto vs Ortiz would solidify Ortiz as a PPV fighter. GBP gave TR Mosley for Cotto to come out, and they need to return the favor of the business by giving Cotto to Ortiz. I doubt Cotto can land the right hooks or poise an explosive left cross to knock down Ortiz. Cotto is not explosive anymore he has heavy hands, but he lost his explosiveness after the Judah fight. Ortiz is fast, explosive, and heavy handed. He will time Cotto and use angles like Pacquiao did. Good luck tryina hurt Ortiz with body shots Cotto!

Funny, I thought Miguel looked more explosive than in a long time against Mayorga. And wtf u talking about, couldnt get rid of him, he GOT rid of him in the 12th, remember??
