Dude, I like Cotto but Pryor would destroy Cotto at any weight...Pryor was an all-time-great there was a reason Leonard ducked him.
pryor got KO by a nobody with 7 losses the first time he went up to 147 and he is 5-61/2 i think he is a litle small at that weight
That was after a two year layoff and after ruining his career because of his cocaine abuse. And Cotto is only 5'7.
the fact is he is unproven at 147 and cotto is 5'-7 1/2 and has a more wider frame than pryor and is better suiuted for 147
Pryor had too much volume for Cotto at 140 he would get a tko or UD At 147 Cotto's power would kill him....he'd get busted up pretty bad...I mean he was in a war with Arguello and survived to win both fights but I feel that Cotto's relentless body attack would win him the fight ... Cotto is a bad man at welterweight
This is what I posted on the classic section. Keep in mind, this is at 140, but even at 147, I'd pick Pryor.
