Cotto vs Sturm @ 160

The Sturm who fought ODLH would dismantle Cotto and make Cotto swim in his own blood. Like you said, much too big and strong.

 

Who said Cotto and Martinez be competitive? LOL

 

Sturm would certainly be one of his best options for a MW title. .

I heard he was initially in talks with French-Cameroonian Hassan N'dam N'jikam - NOT a good idea. . . He would knock Cotto out, I'm almost positive of it. . He has a hard punch, and is very fleet of hand, and foot - just as much as martinez. . .


Daniel Geale would probably be Cotto's best option. . He's a smallish MW, is under 6'0'', doesn't have a big punch, nor is he exceptionally quick. . He's a solid boxer, and all, but I'd give Cotto a decent shot against him.

I'd give Cotto a chance against Sturm. . . But if I had to pick, it'd be Sturm taking the fight over during the middle rounds with his powerful jab, and Cotto wouldn't be strong enough to bust through his tight guard.

 

Oh wait, I forgot Geale and Sturm are fighting in September. . . The winner of this fight would definitely be the best bet for Cotto. .

AVOID N'Jikam, Pirog/Golovkin winner at all costs. Same with Chavez Jr. . He'd murk Cotto.

 

N'jikam isn't a massive puncher. If you think N'jikam dominates Cotto then you must think that 5'4 Khurtsidze is a class above Cotto since he arguably beat N'jikam. tbh i think Khurtsidze beats Cotto at MW but thats something else.

 

Hmmm... i think this is a 50/50 fight. Be interesting

 

sturm by one sided demolition job

 

no
cotto too wuttle

 

yes, considerably.

not in height but size of shoulders, chest etc

 

Sturm is not at his best anymore. The inactivity and age have caught up with him. Cotto has shown some improvements as of late and he could beat him but not in Germany. It would be too close of a fight.

 

no he really couldnt.

Sturm is simply too big, Cotto trades on his physicality which would be null and void against a world class guy who'd be at least 20lb heavier in the ring
