      Got ya, but Torres was much sharper w/ counters and much quicker than Gatti is,in my opinion at least. I think Cotto will put it on Gatti if they box or brawl, Gatti jus cant hang w/the elite. I wanna see Bojado vs Gatti.

        U forget Torrres was 28-0 26 KO's. He was Cotto's mandatory challenger and him and Cotto were scheduled to fight that December anyway,so he was already on his mind. Torres was fresh off a fight against Vazquez,a fight he won easily by KO,when Branco pulled outa the September fight,so Torres stepped in because he was in shape and they were gona fight anyway.Torres would give anybody in he top 10 hell.

          Gatti has his power and Cotto has that suspect chin. If Cotto boxes he can easily tear Gatti a new one but if he decides to exchange with Gatti he can eaisly be put to sleep. I'll pick Cotto on the fact that he will box gatti to death but if Gatti scores a KO I wouldn't be that surprised.

              I would like to see that too but it isn't worth the risk IMO.

                Thats a good fight for sure, but i would have to go with Cotto just cuz i think Gatti wouldnt be able to out box him or knock him out. Cotto goes very well to the body and that would affect Gatti i think. But thats just my opinion

                  Obviously you have not seen him fight. He has not had a PPV, secondly, he does not fight nobodies, unless you call Sosa, Ceballos, Bazan, N'dou, and Jukko "nobodies". I guess Mayweather is on the same boat, bc he too fought these fighters.

                  Emmanuel Steward said it at Cotto's last fight "Cotto has the most impressive 25(now 26) fight record in boxing"

                    I definately agree. Also, Torres will soon fight Juan Lazcano, and I truly believe that Torres will KO Lazcano.
