Cotto is the better boxer of the two, no doubt but Jr's size would be too much. He would walk through anything Cotto would throw and let's also remember that Cotto isn't the same fighter he once was, he stands in front of you much more than he once did. When he fought Marg the second time, Marg was done. He looked like he was punching underwater and he still touched Cotto a lot, imagine what a young, strong and relentless Jr would do? I respect Cotto and think he's been a great champion but if I was his handlers, I would steer clear of Jr.
Chavez provides all of the problems Cotto struggles against Cotto to me looked very good vs Floyd but Floyd isnt Cotto's poison Cottos poison is a big pressure guy with a hard chin who hits the body and can smotehr him on the ropes Floyds defensive style allowed Cotto to be active and come inside and not take lots of punishment but Chavez would come right for Cotto and put punishing blows on him early
blatant anti-cotto agenda here. nothing more. this is horribly unfair to cotto. jcc would walk through everything cotto threw and then club him like a baby seal. cotto is much more talented but he'll get walked down and battered.
Cotto just got broken down by a WW, Jr is way too big, not to mention, Cotto doesn't pack the punch to trouble him
Can't be serious, Cotto would get stopped by Lee, imagine what Jr would do to the much smaller Cotto, joke fight. Why not Cotto vs Lara. Put Jr vs Hopkins at 175 where he should be fighting at.
hells no Chavez is way too big for Cotto and he would walk thru Cotto's punches this ****ing kid is a beast dude
Some on here would still argue JCC would beat Cotto because he's the better fighter. I actually think Cotto does eventually succumb to JCC Jr in a valiant effort. Does this mean he's the better fighter...no even close, Cotto's overall skill package trumps JCC jr's but the boy/mans sheer size and power would be to much.
funny how before saturday there were threads of cotto va chavez jr and everyoneeeee picked cotto cotto has been saying for a year or so now he would like to fight chavez jr for a chance to be the first rican 4 weight division champ
it could happen at 165ish. however, with jcc fighting sergio in the fall, it may have to wait if it is going to happen at all. if sergio beats jcc, i doubt jr will get thrown right back in with kelly so this wouldnt happen until some time down the road.
Mmmm Mayweather vs Chavez Jr ? Mayweather could pull it off and would have to show some of his old style.
