Didn't think much of this bout until I started having a little debate with someone about it and talking positives and negatives. Before I knew, I gave Cotto a pretty good chance at being competitive. I hope this bout comes off just so I can get more in to the technical debates about it. :good
I'm gonna go out on a limb here,but Carl Froch will punch Lucian Bute's ****ing head clean off in the rematch. And...whisper it..Floyd will never fight Manny.
Negative. DLH was a master of destroying come forward pressure fighters. Cuevas was imminently hittable and smaller than DLH. DLH would pick him apart from the outside for a few rounds and stop him sometime between round 5 and round 9. As for Hearns, while that matchup doesn't favor Oscar at all, at 147 he has a puncher's chance if he comes out aggressively, but he certainly can't outbox or counterpunch Hearns. His only shot at beating Hearns would be an early round blitz TKO.
