Crawford VS Cotto @ 147

[GrandpaBernard]

To be honest I cant say whether TC can beat any of the truly established elite guys of the last gen, he has not shown his worth in that kind of company just yet, all the potential in the world but its time to get into the very best opponents to cement it.

Crawford could be as good as Canelo—winning most his important fights in close competitive fashion, but he hasn’t shown it yet.

A+ manny
A Canelo
A- Cotto Crawford

Crawford is far more skilled fighter. Cotto was one dimensional. Crawford should win this.

Cotto is one dimensional? Watch the Margarito rematch and watch the Mayweather fight right afterward and tell me he's one dimensional.

Yeah Ur bff Miguel pulled off stuff against Mayweather that great fighters like Oscar, Marquez, Mosley, manny, and Canelo couldn’t

He has skills but levels out

How you see this fight going.

They’re about level in ability I think. Both very good fighters who can beat most and have their shaky moments here and there in fights. Cotto is just shy of being great. Crawford could be capable of beating great fighters but hasn’t proven it yet

Two versatile boxers who can fight at most ranges

Miguel Cotto circa 2006-2008 was an excellent fighter and he would create problems for Bud with his jab. I could also see Cotto winning the early rounds because Crawford tends to start slowly.

Cotto's only issue is that he never had the best gas tank while Crawford tends to get better as the fight goes on. Also, Bud would have a tremendous reach advantage.

If I had to choose, I would say Bud wins a narrow split decision.

Cotto didn`t look very good to me fighting Mayweather.

Obviously Castillo and Maidana did it the best.

Even Judah did it pretty well.
