Seems to me that Team Cotto is testing themselves with a much bigger fighter to see if Chavez Jr is something they might want to pursue at 160. Cotto's got his hands full with Trout. Not going to be a walk in the park. If TR was still promoting Cotto and this fight was made we'd all be saying Arum is cashing out. PR better rep at MSG because Cotto's going to need their energy.
Foreman had the same height advantage... what's the big deal? Dood can have 8 inches in reach if Cotto can walk through his punches it doesn't matter.
All joking aside, this could be a problem for Cotto going up against a guy this tall if he uses his reach correctly but I don't see that happening. Cotto will just make him run a lot more than he wants to and gas him out for a late KO.
