lemieux cotto

Even quitting.

That's arguable. Cotto lasted 11 round and quit once... Rubio 7 with Kelly and 2 with GGG... He went 9 with two guys and Cotto still beat him by two rounds. It's close but Rubio quits better I think.

i think cotto wont have as easy a left hook target than he did with geale and martinez; lemieux is very covered up and comes forward relentlessly. something cotto does not handle very well..
but what cotto does have is a crisp jab that lemieux absolutely lacks..

and to address lemieux's loss against rubio, lemieux was relatively green, and lost because of stamina/pacing issues, which has gotten much better although still there..
but then again, cotto had a lot of trouble with margarito's relentless pressure and power, and often gassed in the later rounds...

i actually favor lemieux 60-40 in this match up

Lemiux is there to get hit. He encourages it. Look at what rubio did to him

he eats jabs yeah. but left hooks hes usually covered up quite nicely, no?

Cotto got schooled vs Trout, Lemieux beat N'dam.
And yes i agree, N'dam is better than Trout.

Cotto stomps Lemiuex.

2 classes of fighter here.

And yes, Cotto has heavier hands than Rubio.

This is Cotto the "middleweight champion" who never even fought once at middleweight we're talking about.

Oh I'm well aware that Cotto is small at 160 and I've often said I wish he'd drop the belts, but Cotto is Cotto and (until I have much better proof of Lemieux's mettle) a much better fighter than both those guys.

As far as the comparison to Rubio's power, what evidence is there that Rubio hits harder than Miguel?

MW is 155-160. He'll have his 3rd fight at MW, how do you not know this?

Not true, he never fought at middleweight, he had catchweights.

155-160 is MW, the limit is 160. Horrific trolling or just sheer ******ity. At least if it's ******ity you didn't know any better.
