PR vs Mexico @140 (not 147) **** picked 140 instead of 147 because i felt it would be the best weight to get a competitive bout, at 147 Cotto was a beast in his prime, while JMM is no natural welter, evwn to this day he will only weigh in like 143 vs Pac, they could easily make 140 but they would rather eat then cut a few.pounds , Who wins, & how??? Miguel was a big, strong 140 pounder, but struggled to mae tha weight, and you could even say a little chinny at this weight, even a little green. JMM has fought at 147 and came in around 144, so 140 would be ideal for him, and would level the playing field. At 140 JMM is older, wiser with decent power. Obviouslly im talking about the old Miguel, cause he cant make 140 anymore. How the fight plays out??? It would be a war. I think it would be start out similar to the JMM/Diaz fight. Cotto would apply effective agressivness, battering Marquez. Jmm would get his shots in also, as he is an effective counterpuncher, and Cotto was never known as a defensive genius. Early i believe Cotto would be winning, getting the better of Marquez. But as the fight progresses, late around round 10, stamina plays a big factor. Cotto would be tired, while Dinamita still well conditioned. JMM starts busting up a backpeddling Cotto, landing beatiful combos, hurting Cotto but never dropping him. It goes to tha scoredards, split decision to Cotto.
I agree except that Marquez wins a close decision. From round 10-12 it will all be Marquez and he will probably win a couple of rounds in the middle and that would be enough
Marquez did enough against Pac in their 3rd fight. I think he will be competitive against Cotto @ 147 too
Wtf lol...cotto would bully him really bad...what a derp fantasy fight and I love both of these fighters
The Marquez of the third Pacquiao fight takes a competitive decision over the 140 pound Cotto in my opinion. Both would have a lot of success, but Cotto's vulnerability to uppercuts and leaky defense would be capitalized on by Marquez and I see Marquez making more in-fight adjustments tactically, both offensively and defensively than Cotto. Cotto, towards the end of his 140 pound days, might very well get stopped too. Marquez is simply a better fighter than Cotto. If they were both naturally the same size at their best, I think Marquez would tear Cotto apart with combinations, counters, and shots coming from underneath Cotto's stance/loose and "open up the middle" guard.
