    Viper would probably kill him in the ring. Still can't believe he got shot....

    Damn that is a bad match-up for Cotto. I see it going similar to the first Mosley fight. Although where Mosley couldn't jab with Forrest and disrupt his rhythm, Cotto possibly could by stepping into it.

    Cotto wasn't at his prime at 154 anyway. He'd lack the footspeed and sharpness to parry and get inside.

    Viper has all the tools in his dispersal to beat Cotto up

    I believe cotto has all the tools to make this an even fight he also holds wins over their common opponent's

    I have no reason to believe cotto wouldn't win

    then I have no reason to believe forrest wouldn't either

    it's a damn good match up

    Well Cotto was smaller and slower than Mosely, and the way he leans his head forward would have had uppercut written all over it. Forrest had a good upper cut, and right hand. Forrest by late stoppage.

    Unfortunately at 147 I feel all of the top WW's in that era would simply over power Cotto at the weight.

    Trinidad, De La Hoya, Mosley, Winky, Forrest, they would have all beat him IMO. Not just through size either, considering all the aspects Cotto loses to these guys at 147.

    Forrest would have scorched him. Too much reach, speed, power.
