Also disagree with those who are claiming Cotto peaked at 140. No, Cotto peaked the night he fought Shane Mosley (even though Shane was shot) and in the leadup to the first Margarito fight. That version of Cotto was the best we would ever see.

No announcement yet.
How would prime Cotto do against today's welterweights?

How does he do against Thurman, Spence, Porter, Garcia and Crawford? What are your thoughts?
We can all agree they'd be great fights.
Cotto might actually beat Keith by KO/TKO (Keith has been hurt to the body - by left hooks - from journeymen). Cotto wins smooth decision against Swift who has never been hurt to my knowledge and Cotto decisions a game Porter (MMMAShawn P).
Cant make a decision yet about Spence.
TC outboxes and possibly stops Cotto late, but Cotto could fight well in survival mode

any version of Cotto post Margo is a lesser, washed up version
pre-Margo Cotto was a helluva fighter
he destroys Garcia, Porter and Thurman. KO's those chumps with ease
beats Spence with some difficulty
Crawford's too tricky and versatile, 50/50 fight
as well as these other idiots
PreMargacheato Cotto is the same Cotto who got a gift decision from a washed up Shane Mosley, where Cotto ran the last 6 rounds eating power shots. What exactly do you think Spence would so to an undersized Cotto, beat the **** out of him that's what.
Crawford is just too good and rangy for Cotto
Thurman would probably KO Cotto
Garcia would lose, I'll give you that
Porter would maul Cotto the last 5-6 rounds but Cotto would win enough rounds with his clean jab and flashier punches to win a decision
Let's stop overrating these fighters
Who the hell did Cotto beat to validate him dog walking all these great welterweights? Muassa? Paulie? Zab? Who almost knocked him out but Cotto resorting to sack punching? Get real

No way of knowing yet, only one that has been truly truly tested was Thurman against Porter. He handled Porter pretty well, Crawford and Spence have yet to face anyone like that. Granted I'd pick Spence and Crawford to walk through Porter but I need to see it.
Thurman has that overhand right he could give Cotto problems with but I'd still need to see more from him and the current crop of welterweights.Last edited by Doctor_Tenma; 06-18-2018, 01:18 AM.

The same Cotto who couldn't walk through a 50 year old Mosley and escaped with a gift decision. Yea, he would walk through Spence. Clown
36 and still very dangerous. none of these guys would have walked through that ssm.
