Cotto is a Little Holyfield

[Code Red]

Though I think Evander was a greater fighter and champion overall, Cotto's career, now that it's over, reminds me of Holyfield. Like Evander, Cotto was never the absolute best in the sport but win or lose he always gave his opponents hell.

Holyfield almost always with the distance, battered bruised, fighting on nothing but heart in the later rounds but his opponents felt every punch. Cotto, imo, gave Floyd one of his best battles and though he couldn't beat the Pac's, Floyd's, Canelo's of his time they all left the ring bruised from the encounter.

Evander was beat by Lewis, Bowe (in a trilogy), Moore, and even Toney later in his career but always came to fight, never cheated the fans. I think I can say the same for Cotto.

No. Two different styles.

No. Two different styles.

Is Evander better? Of course but I don't think the style or route to victory is that different, except Holy had power in both hands. All I'm saying is neither fighter could dominate the top competition though they themselves were A level fighters

Cotto sill has his ears.

I see no resemblance

Holyfield was undersized as a hw. He was a very good cw...his run from the first qawi fight till he lost to bowe was pretty impressive. The fact that he could even compete with the bigger hws says a lot, even with all the juice.

holyfield put more then 30 lbs of muscle on he was juiced to the gills on growth harmones PED's for over 10 years and got away with it. Cotto never took nothing

Indeed...it's still artificial size tho.

Holyfield damn sure dominated at Cruiserweight and dominated Tyson..Holyfield is on another lever from Cotto and it aint even close
