Cotto Vs Berto

Berto is quick but Cotto is more well rounded and experienced. Cotto by UD.

 

I can't see this fight happening at least not for another year. Berto's handlers have been so careful with him that it would be shocking if they all of a sudden put him in with Cotto. They should give some strong considerations to Berto's mandatory in Collazo or other fighters like Quintana or Cintron who would all provide a stiff test in their own right. I will say however if a Berto/ Cotto fight does get made, I would give Berto a fair shot against Cotto based on speed and punching power. A lot of people seem to unjustifiably question Berto's chin and I think between him and Cotto that Cotto's has got the more suspect beard. Berto also has better stamina than Cotto so if the fight went 12 rounds I could conceivably see him winning on points. All that said Cotto would be the big favorite and deservingly so.
