Matthyse Vs. Prime Cotto

Cotto vs Matthysse would've been a barn burner but Cotto would ultimately eat Lucas up. We're talking a prime Cotto here.. maybe some perspectives are skewed right now due to Cottos last few losses but you must've forgot the real machine Cotto was at one point. As mentioned before, the Cotto that showed up to fight Margarito that first fight would've taken almost any soul in his presence. The Carlos Quintana fight was also a great display of Cotto's abilities. Matthysse is simply not there yet.

You people are unbelievable, when a boxer is not in his prime anymore you go an forget how he was in his pprime. You did the same with Trinidad, RJJ among others.
Lucas face and body would get tag by Cotto so much and hard that he will think twice before letting his hands go at the beginning of the fight.Last edited by Puya; 08-31-2013, 06:31 AM.

not surprising most people here still overrating prime cotto, extremely overrated fighter. just proves most people on this forum are more/less casual fans
cottos hype really kicked in after Floyd beat hatton, because cotto was the mainstream medias answer to dethrone mayweather
when Floyd tried making the fight with cotto, arum fed Bruseles to him instead
even cotto said during the build up to his fight with Floyd, that His team didn't think he was ready when they were both at 140
I was a big cotto fan but he had glaring flaws in his game, even at 140 pounds, fortunately he was matched up well

Had this fight happended it would have been the ultimate boxer puncher showdown. I give the edge to Cotto but I certainly wouldn't bet my house on it.
