Finally saw the full fight, and in boxing math, Angulo beats Cotto. I say this as a Cotto fan, and Cottos poor stamina, not quite the sharp shooter Lara is and him not being the best back peddling fighter equates to Margarito Cotton 1 this time with a Margarito that's a 154 pounder. Alfredo is all wrong for Miguel.
I agree, cottos best days are behind him. Angulo takes this by tko imo. Hypothetical match up or is this actually in the works??
The original Margarito was honestly a 154 pound guy who boiled down to 147. He was by far the largest welter of his era.
Cotto in 06/07 wins a clear decision over Angulo . 2013 Angulo breaks down Cotto and takes him out in 7 . Angulo is a true gritty 154 pounder who could absorb everything Cotto throws at him .
I would never bet on angulo from here on out. the likelihood of alfred duplicating his lara performance again after the beating that he took is pretty slim. in fact I would bet large against him if he were to ever rematch Rosado.
That was said after the Kirkland fight, Beatings are overated, I believe it depends on the fighters mind. Cotto was a haunted man after Margo 1
it depends on the fighters punch resistance. some guys have one or two beatings in them(vargas/j.taylor/m.taylor/bowe) and theyre ruined or a shell of themselves and a few can endure many(holyfield,wlad,gatti) wars and continue to operate at a high level. angulo, Sergio, dawson and especially khan...they are fades. in mma, kongo and maynard.
Would love to see this fight. Would be a war. Angulo would probably walk Cotto down and unload heavy artillery stopping Cotto around the 6th round. Make this happen!
