Miguel Cotto vs Andy Lee

[Evil Abed]

Lee has a punchers chance. Otherwise Cotto should be able to dismantle Andy over 6 or so rounds.

Didn't GGG and Lee almost fight earlier this year?

Andy Lee??? Man, I wanted Cotto to fight the other Irish guy. Canelo.

Better hope Lee's size is enough to beat Cotto because it's the only way Golovkin can become lineal champ.



Lee's weak chin is exaggerated way too much. What kind of glass jawed fighter has never hit the canvas? The Vera stoppage was early as fuck. Not saying the Chavez stoppage was necessary bad, but he was hit by an obviously big shot , and he was still standing. He could have probably taken a knee and survived the rest of the round. And in his last fight, he repeatedly ate bombs without ever getting badly hurt. I think most relevant flaw is that he's a punching bag.

He's been hurt multiple times. His resistance is clearly not very good.

I agree though that the main thing is he's just terrible.

I remember he was dropped in his last fight against Jackson.

No real issue with this fight as long as it's at the 160lb weight limit. Lucrative stay-busy voluntary fight for Cotto before a Canelo, Mayweather or Golovkin bout.

For people requesting a source, I read Arum said Lee was a possibility but I didn't see the video or anything.

Lol GGG ducked him! Cotto is fighting his duck. War Cotto!!!!

I don't think this fight is that terrible. Ironically, I think cotto loses to a lot of current middleweights. If Lee can have a similar strategy to trout, i could see problems for cotto. Also, Lee has won 5 fights in a row and i think the hate is unjustified. If not Canelo or GGG, Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

[jmrf4435]

Andy lee is 6'2. Cotto is barely 5'8

[SeekDaGreat]

Andy lee is 6'2. Cotto is barely 5'8

Yeah but Cotto is a 6' 2 puncher and Lee is a 5'8 puncher.

Oh yeah, I don't know how I forgot about that.
