    Fun fight and I guess Cotto would be very slight favorite because he's old and shot, but Mikey - even if undefeated - is basically jumping up 3 weight classes.

    I don't think the size difference would be significant IN the ring, but Cotto will have more muscle by a landslide and his frame is built to absorb much bigger punches, etc

        I think this is bad for Cotto, if he wins, he beat a small Jr. WW at Jr. MW and if he loses, same thing.

            Cotto is old but he murks mikey. Garcia had no pop at 140 now add 14 more lbs and he is more feather fisted than Paulie malinaggi

              I'd be picking Cotto in this one.

                Mikey walks around at 160+ by his own admission. It's nice that he wants big fights at all of these weights, but I think Cotto still has enough in the tank to beat him.

                  It would be Cotto's last fight and he will be laughing all the way to the bank

                    154 is way too high for Mikey. He didn't have much power vs broner so moving up two weights will turn him into a malignaggi puncher

                    Cottos farewell fight needs to be carefully selected if he vlues his health. If he wants an easy win he could have the decider with Margarito but I think Cotto thinks that revenge closed the book on that and he is happy to leave it at 1-1.
                    Hes not going to fight an up and comer so its either an old washed up name or take a gamble and fight one of the top fighters. He isnt a middleweight but Lemiuex has been stopped a couple times and that could be built into a big fight. Id make Cotto an underdog but it’s a winnable fight if he keeps moving and using his boxing skills.

                      Mikey has gigantic heart and balls of iron!

                      Cotto would put him on a stretcher b4 6th round!
