Prime cotto vs thurman

[NUCLEAR]

Who wins at 147.

[i love boxing]

Cotto is far more talented and was a monster in his prime. If Thurman thinks Collazo hurt him to the body then Cotto would haunt his dreams.

How about Cotto vs Thurman now? I would watch it.

Cotto by decision, only because I trust that Thurman will survive. Thurman has the weapons but it's too telegraphed to do anything against Cotto, from the uppercut down to the overhand right.

You need a jab to make Cotto freeze up, to loop the right hand around his guard much like Mayweather did and Thurman can't do it like that. Then you need an uppercut you can just shoot from up close and again, Thurman doesn''t utilize it like that, he loads his up.

Was never massively impressed by Cotto at 147, but I would certainly pick him over the Thurman we've seen to date. The class of 2007 was much better than the class of 2017.

Cotto defended himself against Floyd's jab and straight right and Manny's straight left hand. But then Floyd adjusted to loop a right hook around Cotto's guard and land at will, just as manny adjusted to cottos defense and counter by feinting a straight left to upper cut, which hits cotto since the second round from then on. Thurman just doesn't have the ring IQ that either of these fighters had.

Yep, he also took no real damage from canelo...Cotto's defense is underrated and as he's gotten older it's seemed to improve.
