How do you see this one going? IMO Cotto won't get past 5 rounds against Forrest, I believe Cotto would get caught early with one of those monsters uppercuts that dropped Mosley and finishes him off with no problem. If slow ass Margo was hurting him with those uppercuts imagine what a bigger , faster , stronger and more skill fighter like Forrest would do to him. What's your take???:bbb
Forrest all day! He dropped and beat a prime conditioned roided up MOSLEY!!! Cotto gets wobbly from wind!
Remember how Forrest nearly committed manslaughter with them rights and uppercuts against an iron chinned and titanium bodied hero like Mosley? Miguel is vulnerable to rights and invites uppercut sandwiches in. He'll go into shock after Forrest outdoes him at his best punch and wins the jabbing shootout. Forrest then sparks him out in the 2nd. Hearns vs Duran 2.0, the poor man's version
I think Miguel's ribs would have broke and it be over from there if he got caught with that same shot Shane did. You could hear Shane scream. His facial expression showed that he was ready to cry from the pain.
Forrest beats the crap out of Cotto....not saying Cotto isn't a good fighter...but I wouldn't like that fight for Cotto at all.
Forrest will simply beat him down and stop him late . I doubt Cotto makes it 12 rounds with Forrest . Even the Forrest that beat Mora in the rematch will give Cotto fits .
In terms of overall greatness as fighters, I think they are about the same level. However I think Vernon would be a very bad style match up for Cotto, and win a convincing decision.
