    Cotto leads on all three scorecards and gets knocked out by a nasty right hand in the middle rounds.

    Cotto is a better fighter than Tsyzu, but I think Tszyu had better stamina that I see a late tko victory in favor of Tszyu.
    If it goes the distance Cotto takes it by close decision.

    to bad this fight didnt happen for real . . damn arum! I know zoo was a beast at 140 but Cotto was the bigger man even at that stage. I think at 140 the only man in that era who could beat cotto was PBF. But ir would have been one hell of a fight

    Cotto got wobbled plenty at 140 by far lesser fighters than KT, who was a goddam monster when he turned pro and for some time after. Even at his strongest before he started to outgrow 140 Miguel wouldn't be able to handle KT's power and accuracy. He either gets KTFO out late or turns defensive and loses a decision.

    Cotto has flashier combos, Divac, that doesn't mean he's a better fighter.

    I think Cotto was the more versatile fighter, could fight both at distance and up close.

    Would be just like Pac -Cotto, a one way beating, Cotto would have been outboxed ale the way.
