    Is Miguel Cotto the most technically sound fighter around?

    I think he is, I mean you could make arguments for Toney, Hopkins,Mayweather or even Kirk Johnson(when his head is in the game). Can you really knock Cotto on anything in his arsenal?

    Cotto is a good fighter, I cant believe I pick Pinto to win over him. I dont know why I dislike Cotto but I can seem him hanging in there with some top dawgs later on in the future.

      ya hes defintalythe best of teh young guys
      but some of the guys with longer teeth are maye just a little better
      he just really needs to work on dat right
      his last fight was the only time ive seen it be significant
      and dat was after pinto was hurt from so many lefts

        Best all around skill set in the game in my opinion. No real weak points...one of the most comfortable, composed fighters in the ring. Bad ass left hook to boot.

          Longer teeth means longer reach? Cuz I'll agree. Other than EM and B-hop, I can't think of anybody who works that well inside right now. When you box him though, it seems to be effective, so I dunno.

            longer in the tooth means more age, more experienced. cotto has an all around real good game. i just wonder about his right, dude who said that he couldn't tell about cottos right is correct, pinto was already really hurt by all those lefts when the rights landed. i think the only one w/ the all around game like that is hopkins now a days. only thing mayweather lacks is power.

              his is goof but yeah he does have 2 problems..well 3 if u count pinto-when boxing him and not being a idiot and rushing in..actully kept cotto away

              but either way here are the 2

              1-reach(that can hurt him if a big pucnher(ex:gatti) and hime come in at the same time..cuz guest who's gonna connect first
              2-he leaves himself open for right hands to much...but had great body defense

                He is one of the best prospects/contenders around.

                  didnt he win a belt? if i am wrong i am sorry..but if he has a belt he no longer a prospect...now he's a contendr to get a shot..i hope he's not ****** and goes for winner of KT/shambra..he better take easier fights..if he cant beat floyd or gatti...he shouldnt jump into a fight with KT/mitchelle...

                  or he can fight v.harris-(where is this guy anyway..whats his next fight?)

                    I think Cotto should fight KT if he beats Sharmba.
