    cotto, mid/late tko. too often kostya looked out of position, resorting to leaving his arms stretched out for defense.

    kostya may have had better one punch power but overall skill goes to cotto.

      You guys are underestimating just how insanely technical kostya was, and he had the power. Accuracy, and ring is to go with it. He was as complete a fighter as there could be.

      Kostya wasn't like these chump fighters today who fight 1-2 arms lengths away from their opponent. He was always within punching range. Didn't matter he was going forward or backwards. He was always in position to jump on an opening.

      I'm a huge cotton fan, but prime kostya way out of his league. Kostya was a god.

        All you need to know is that he was a monster.

        He fought everyone, and for the most part beat everyone. I was getting thrown in with world champions from the start of his career.

        He was incredibly technical, but broke you down and knocked you out like GGG does.

          Kostya as a amateur was probably more technical than anyone fighting right now not named rigo. It looked like kostya was there to be hit, but he wasn't. He never got respect for his defense.

          Fast forward to the second round at 4:50. Notice how he's fighting defensively but not running around like a flaming **** the way Floyd and all the other Floyd wannabes do?



          Look at the speed, the power, the angles he can throw punches from, dude is standing in front of forrest with his hands down like its nothing.

          Kostya was no joke...

              Are we talking prime vs prime? Tszyu for sure, he was a league above in skill and would give Cotto one hell of a beatdown.

                imho, cotto would have demolished everyone kostya fought. so thats a wash. kostya could be a predictable guy and get timed by a boxer/puncher like cotto.

                i was a kostya fan but cotto was the better guy. imho.

                  Kostya on 2 healthy legs handles Cotto easily.

                  Kostya on a shaky leg and Cotto is all over him like a hot knife through butter.
