    This is about as tough a fight to call as any. There are so many intangibles that could affect the outcome of the fight. I usually have a strong opinion about who I think wins a fight, but I'll be honest; this one has me stumped.

    as I mentioned yesterday...

    its been awhile since cotto has fought at 147...so im interested to see what kind of factor that could be..

    fan of both guys and its hard to pick a winner or to root for someone.....id prob root for jmm though

    It would also be interesting to see how much more speed Marquez has lost (if any) since his last couple fights.

    If Cotto is moving down to 147 then Marquez can definitely win this.

    Marquez monster uppercuts won't let that happen, and Cotto is a sucka for uppercuts.

    Marquez can out-heart Cotto, not sure if he can out-box him though.

    Cotto once again trying to cherrypick debilitated elders

    It must be sad to have lost every big fight he's taken part

    How bad is Jmm knee. This is a final payday for him and very winnable. Cotto is not nearly as durable as Jmm and i dunt 8 think quite fast enough to play keep away with Marquez.. unless that knee is done

    I love JMM (he's one of my all-time favourites) but I can't see any way he wins this.

    The size advantage and power of Cotto would just be too much. He'd win a comfortable decision.

    If JMM has a final fight against a top opponent, it should be at 140lbs.

    Depends if JMM has acne!!

    It will be a close fight, Cotto has the style to win but JMM will impose himself on the fight and feel it would be close
