I always thought that Tito's skills were quite overrated, and Cotto's quite underrated. If i could describe Tito's skills in one word I would say 'basic'. Im probably slightly biased towards Cotto though.
I agree with that but i still pick Tito because of his power & ferocity as well as Cotto not-brilliant chin & the fact that Margarito beat him.
The Margarito fight is the biggest issue when predicting that Cotto would win. Im not saying Tito and Marg are the same type of fighter, but that Cotto didnt really go to the body against Marg. Id say Cotto's chin is as good as Tito's. The only time ive seen Cotto hurt at welterweight (not including Marg and his (most likely) loaded gloves) was against Zab, and he landed ****ing huge uppercuts right on the button. Cotto didnt go down though
losing to two defensive experts is not overrated IMO and he looked terrible in the Winky fight in the very beginning. put Tito against any other slugger out there and Tito for sure will knock the hell out of em. and well, Cotto isn't necessarily a defensive expert......
BHOP was at middleweight. BHOP is a great fighter Winky fight was when Tito was shot We r talking about a welterweight tito here.
Cotto's ten times as hittable as that DLH. Trinidad would do what Margo did to him only twice as fast
