Alfredo angulo vs Cotto POLL

[Chadmazing]

Cotto would get beaten horrifically. To be perfectly honest I think Margarito, if not ruined by Pacquiao, wins again. Angulo is a much bigger puncher with much better boxing skill than Margarito. Yes, I said boxing skill. Angulo is one of those guys pigeonholed into a mold that he transcends. He is slow but he still has a good jab, straight accurate punches, and well placed combinations.

Cotto will do better with his jab, be much faster, and avoid many more punches than Angulo does but it can't last. Cotto isn't that guy. Eventually, he gets hit also. Angulo DESTROYS people when he hits them. He's knocked a good percentage of his opponents not just out but OUT. He's a legitimate 'one punch power' fighter. He will land some jabs of his own, throw combinations of his own, and with absolute certainty end the fight when he connects well.

Angulo isn't raw. He's just slow. He'll find his moment.

So you're basing this on him beating Julio? Acline?

Losing to Kermit?
.
He hasn't proved himself.

He looked good vs very mediocre opposition and he struggles vs alright opposition.(Kermit and Julio).

I expect him to look even worse vs Cotto and anyone else with a decent chin at 154.

I think it's 50/50 right now. Good fight.

I absolutely like them both but Angulo sparks Cotto.

I don't know about beaten horrifically but I agree, I think this version of Cotto get's hit way too much to withstand what Angulo brings. You are right, he is a better boxer than Marg even though I think a prime Marg brought more pressure and threw more punches.

A prime Cotto wins by UD but Cotto now, the slower, less active Cotto does lose to Angulo. Not to make excuses but Angulo was sick during his fight with Cintron, you could see how pale and gaunt he looked. He started off very slow but even in that conditioned almost had Cintron out in the last round.

^^^^^this^^^^^^^

i respect the hell outta cotto and i love the guy but if you think he still has enough to beat perro, you have lost all your ***n marbles. and no matter what, the margarito fight is gonna take some more out of him.

i don't think cotto would last past 8 against perro.

cotto is not 75% of the fighter he was.

I think he would get beaten horrifically, and I think a prime cotto has some trouble because perro is just big.

cotto's best weight is 147, not 154, I think he's better at 140 than 154 just because of his dimensions. he's not a full blown JMW, but he would get the job done against perro in his prime in a close fight.

If Angulo wasn't rusty because of that BS about his visa I would pick Angulo. As of right now I can't pick a winner.

[Evil Abed]

The poll reflects the truth.

Cotto is just the better fighter right now.

Angulo via K.O. Cotto gets drawn in into a dog fight with Pressure Fighters. And Angulo is younger, fresher Tony, along with being the bigger dog of the two given that he is a natural 154 Ibs.
