      It's tough, Cotto can win but he'd have to invest in the body early and doing that is gonna be extremely difficult against Lara who's very defensive minded. The early rounds would be key since I have no doubt Lara will give up 3-4 rounds since he goes lapses without doing anything. Cotto would have to get dirty as well, rabbit punch if need be and punches on the thigh.

        Cotto by questionable, but completely justifiable decision. Like a 7-5 Cotto or 6-6 fight.

        Against most fighters that level or near it, Lara will always do just enough to arguably win, but never enough to make it clear.

            Trout beat Cotto 11-1 on my card.


            Lara shuts Cotto out.

              Trout is a Boxer. Lara is a Master Boxer. Lara Master Classes Cotto.

                Just in time, and Mr. Brush My Hair didn't even finish his bottle of Haterade...

                  Lara would beat him worse than Trout did.

                    The Trout fight is meaningless. Cotto was having issues with his trainer. He didn't come in prepared to fight. Of course, as a professional, you are SUPPOSED to always be ready, but stuff happens in real life. Anyone who saw the Mayweather fight, and then the Trout fight, can tell you, in Mayweather's words even, "That's not the Miguel Cotto I (Mayweather) fought." It was the worst performance I'd ever seen from him. At the time, I didn't know that it was related to training issues; I thought perhaps that the wear and tear of boxing had finally caught up to him. Nevertheless, that fight woke Cotto up to his training issues, and now everything has been cleared up. He's with a great trainer in Roach; Cotto has been performing excellently since the change. A Cotto-Trout rematch now would likely be close to the Geale fight in terms of outcome. The same goes for Lara, although I think a Lara fight would last longer. Cotto is better than both.
