      Really? I think Cotto is way too big, walks through him.

        Could be. Cotto might be overwhelming Marquez and get caught with a perfectly timed counter.

        Coming off the Torres fight I was thinking there was no way Cotto moves up to 147 let alone 154-160. Especially since he is 5'7 just like Marquez

          Dream style match-up but it doesn't make sense now. Marquez is retired and at his limit at 147. I don't think he should even fight full sized welters like Thurman, Brook, or Spence.

          Cotto is now comfortable at 154 and was able to trade with Canelo. Surely he's too big for Marquez now.

            So the same JMM that got out boxed by a average Bradley and put on his ass vs a super shot Alvarado is supposed to beat Cotto....

              Same Marquez that knocked pacquiao the fck out when everybody thought the opposite would happen. Same Pacquiao that destroyed Cotto when he was only past his prime.

                    Awesome fight, do it at 150 that is more than fair, Cotto was never a middleweight and they are the same height. Cotto can make 150 EASY, he used to fight at junior welterweight dammit!
