Very good point. Cotto is a way better boxer and harder puncher than Baldomir. I take Cotto in the 9th round.
Ill go with that. The reason Judah did so well against Mayweather is cos Mayweather does'nt hit that hard at this higher weight. Cotto does, and wins by KO if he keeps his chin down
I actually think that Cotto will be faster at 147 than he currently is. I think his performances of late have diminshed due to sucking so much weight.
I also believe that Zab is the exact type of fighter that can give Cotto problems. A person who can box but has enough pop in his punches so that Cotto has to respect him and can't just cut off the ring without fear. I think depending on how Cotto does versus Paul Magligini(sp) would be a could indicator of how Cotto handles a slickster, although I dont think Paulie has enough power to make Cotto really respect him. It different cutting off the ring on a guy who can't hurt you than doing it on a guy who can.
As it is right now I would say that if Zab cant hurt or put Cotto down within the first 4 rounds then Cotto wins by either KO, or UD if Zab puts on his skates.

indeed
I think it's a pickem and I am almost sure its gonna be a KO, and a good fight
Intriguing matchup, but i have to go with Cotto. Judah wilted against a fairly light-hitting Mayweather. He slowed down/backed-off when Floyd really started to let his hands go, especially when Mayweather nailed Judah with some body blows. Will Zab be able to stand up to Cotto's devastating body attack, which i believe is the key to this matchup? In my opinion, no. Cotto by late stoppage after some initial problems.
I see your point, but Floyd is also one of the quickest fighters ever and knows countless tricks and skills to land clean on his opponents.
Cotto is definitely big, but he is also pretty slow and facing a huge puncher like Zab who has very fast feet and extremely fast hands it spells disaster. Torres wasn't nearly as polished as Zab and he gave Cotto a run for his money.
If this fight ever comes off, we will be the first to bet. Deal?
Baldomir is slower than Cotto and he almost KO Zab...

although I do think cotto would win. That analogy just doenst work. Again if Boxer A(baldomir) beats Boxer B (judah) and Boxer C (cotto) is better than A (baldomir. It doesnt neccesarily mean C (cotto) will beat B (judah).
baldomir might have a better chin then cotto perhaps
Zab looked good for 4 rounds then threw it all away. Cotto catches Zab in the corner it's a wrap for him.
Zab will look good for 4-5 rounds then give it up.. Hopefully he doesn't get hit with that left hook. I mean Cotto hits hard. He doesn't need to use his body to move with the punch. You seen the Pinto fight? When Cotto just threw a left hook with out moving and Pinto was on ***** street lol. Imagine if Cotto puts his body to it?

I know what you mean. And I agree. But the analogy that Zab would win cuz he's faster doesn't work either. And that one is confirmed.
