Cotto isn't necessarily easy to beat.
Styles make fights and if you can't cope against a good jab, you can't beat Cotto. He has a great jab, if you can limit its effectiveness, you'll find it manageable to beat Cotto.

If anything Thurman leans to much when throwing the right, something Danny could've capitalize on but he was so tentative that he never did anything. Remember how Danny was pressing him in the late rounds, Cotto would've done a way better job. Hmmm...I do recall Cotto landing a lot of jabs on Canelo (that is tha prime reason I have GGG beating Canelo). I don't think Brooks beat a prime welter wgt Cotto. Diaz is similar to Cotto? in what way??? Crawford needs to fight at welter first & then we will analyze. Remember this is no video game (no disrespect intended)

Originally posted by Sheldon312 View PostThurman and Brook are just naturally bigger. Thurman has a unique skill set and he has one-punch knockout power. Canelo hasn't beaten anyone in his career that imposes the problems Thurman imposes. With Brook, size will be a factor. Brook is just too big. Crawford would be like Mayweather vs Cotto but Crawford would stop him like he stopped Diaz.

Cotto IS a great fighter, he just didn't have a well-managed career. People criticize Floyd for managing his fights, but Cotto let Bob Arum do it which hurt his career a lot. He could've made a lot more money, fought all sorts of different guys instead of fighting just top rank guys and also got these big fights when he was still in his prime. It's a real shame that his prime was cut-short the way that it was.
Arum damaged him a lot by putting him in there with loaded gloves Bumgarito. I think his career would've been immeasurably better if he didn't have to go through that. Even still if you look at the fact he's still fighting now and has had some good wins and good performances even in defeat that's a plus when considering his career. From a fans perspective he's fought everyone we wanted him to as well.
Fans should respect him. He's gave us a lot of great performances.
