Josh Taylor vs Miguel Cotto

At his best I think Miguel is a step too far for Josh, Cotto is a tremendous body puncher, and if Josh has any physical weaknesses it would be bodyshots.

I think it would be closer at 140, but at 147 until Josh has fought there and we see how he handles it, it's got to be Miguel.

 

I give the edge to Cotto at 140.

 

Cracking fight, Miguel at his peak was a powerhouse with beautiful technique at 140 and even looked like an above average power puncher at 147lb. I remember when he dropped Clottey with a damn jab.

 

Cotto stops him at 140

 

Cotto. Would get the nod
But it would be a damn good fight.
Bloody war.

 

Cotto by stoppage. How will Taylor even stop Cotto? Cotto was out boxing Canelo and it was the size difference that beat him. Giving Pac a hard time the first 4 rounds. Gave Floyd one of his toughest fights. Destroyed Martinez. Took shots from Mosley, I doubt Taylor hurts him.

Cotto beats him any way he likes.

 

I would go for a Taylor points win.

 

Cotto by KO.

 

I surprise myself by saying Taylor, but I remember that Cotto was rather 'chinny' at 140, which I presume is where they would hypothetically meet.

 

Cotto is my favourite fighter along with James Toney.

Stylistically Cotto is a nightmare for anyone 140lbs any point in history.

 

I think so to but let’s see what more JT does.

 

Cotto probably but if Taylor impresses highly at 147 I'll come back to this
