    I can. If not at least giving him a very difficult fight. I know Jr isn't well respected here but he is a lot bigger than Cotto, younger, seems to take a punch and he loves to bring it. I can see it getting rough for Cotto in there.

    If Cotto beats Jr, All of Mexico led by Sr will invade Puerto Rico and make all of them kneegals like what B-Hop did to their hero.

    No. Cotto would box Jr for the UD, unless Chavez stuns Cotto and go for the early KO.

    Not a chance, Cotto is in a completely different league.

    Chavez beats Cotto at his own game. (Inside)
    Those thinking MC can box his way to a win Vs. a Middleweight are fooling themselves.

    I know most were watching last night's fight with Hater goggles on but did you see the uppercuts Jr was hitting Zbik with/inside work? (AKA Cotto poison)
    IMO, Cotto could/would not be able to absorb what Zbik did last night @ MW against a BIG middleweight.

    - a well placed body shot, I don't see Cotto able to hurt Jr.

    Cotto would continuously jab him and walk him into hard shots, and Chavez Jr. won't know how to do anything but keep coming and keep walking into them. They'll be sharp combinations of rights, uppers, and lefts hooks, before Cotto pivots out and restarts with his jab. When they do get on the inside, Cotto will be wary of Jr's body attack and commence his own. He will no doubt get the better of him on the inside exchanges with accuracy and experience in picking his shots, and has the much superior defense. If Chavez could use his height to jab in combination with efficient footwork maximizing his size advantage, then maybe. But he can't. Cotto will box circles around him and constantly tag him whenever he's within reach, breaking him down all the way with a body attack to further extinguish an already sub-optimal stamina.

    I could see it being a fun fight in which Jr. impresses with aggression and heart, and I'd lean towards him being durable enough to last 12, but I don't see him winning. He won't be able to get in proper position to consistently hit Cotto cleanly, nor get away from Cotto's far more accurate offense. Cotto UD 12, or Cotto TKO late.
