    I would, because I see how Golovkin stylistically could pose a huge problem for Cotto, he's bigger, he's stronger and he's not some zombie like Margarito.

    I think Cotto could box Golovkin pretty good for a while, but I think that Gennady would catch up to him and do some damage, and eventually stop him. (Mercy stoppage)

    Errr GGG is a pressure fighter who's punches wear you down. Can't pressure fight properly when sparring because you can't wear your opponent out so ofc Cotto will 'outbox' him.

    i dont think beating the hell out of someone in sparring is a good way to land a real fight with him in the future. gg will ko cotto if they ever fight for real, and im a bigger fan of cotto than gg.

    well one of the biggest asset that GGG got is his power but with headgear on, obviously GGG will not be as effective as in a real match.

    While I'm stoked to hear my boy Cotto is performing well in camp, it is just camp. The one thing I would love to know is the intensity level. I've had sparring sessions that were very technical, and some that were pretty heated.
