    Thinking back to the altercation at the post fight presser for the Zaveck fight between Merman and Malignaggi it was interesting to note that Merman tried to belittle Paulie by mentioning that he lost to Cotto a fighter Merman felt he would 'beat easily' but would the slick and beige Merman be able to beat a prime Cotto at 147lb?

    We dont know how good thurman is yet as he aint fought any of the top guys in his division i would pick a prime pre margarito cotto over thurman

    It would be a good fight now if cotto decided to drop back down to 147

    The first bomb Thurman landed would change the fight.

    Hard to say, Cotto prime is much more skilled than Thurman atm but i dont know if his chin holds up
    Id probably say Thurman ko

    Right now, at 147... I'd favor Thurman

    Prime vs Prime? What's Thurman's prime?

    I don't know about now, but these clowns wondering what would happen prime for prime are on the pipe.

    Thurman shows NO signs ever being on the level of a prime Cotto.

    Prime Miggy rapes him.

    Cotto is more skilled and more experienced. But Thurman is coming into his own and has dangerous power. It depends how he looks. I think he moved up to 154 for a reason and might suffer coming back down, and looked sluggish against Trout. Hard to say. I'd give the edge towards Cotto, who could control the fight with his jab.

    Thurman is too inexperienced @ this point.

    he'd get broken down later in the fight.

    Prime Cotto got wobbled by Judah, Thurman could catch him.
    Cotto would be winning rounds but if he does his come forward aggressive style he will get caught

    All depends on Thurman's chin and toughness.. Cotto was clearly more skilled, but Thurman would have the style advantage.

    People have kind of changed the past on Cotto, go look at the fight, Zab had him hurt before the low blow, I'm not saying Thurman beats him but Cotto was not an ATG and Thurman hasn't entered his prime yet, I don't think he is special but he packs a punch.
