    Cotto v Tszyu head to head at Lightwelter. 12 rounds. Who takes it.

    I would pick Cotto to take a decision 8-4 or 7-5 but where he is clearly the winner!

    I've got cotto winning. I reckon he'd the overall better fighter here. Kostya I like as a fighter but I belive he's always behind slightly.

    Tszyu by late rounds stoppage. Cotto can't keep him at bay for all 12 rounds.

    Tszyu is better. I don’t think there’s anything too difficult about Cotto’s style that could offset the better fighter winning. Tszyu could stop him but you’d probably lean towards him winning on points in a good fight.

    Another vote for Tszyu. I think he stops him.

    Tszyu would have stopped Cotto at 140.

    Kostya catches up with him.

    And again, he is remarkably underrated on his board.

    Yep, not to mention that Cotto was very vulnerable at 140, plus he drained himself to get there.

    Kosta is an ATG at140, arguably the GOAT. Cotto isn't in the discussion.

    KT around the 8th, big KO!

    One of those Fight Of The Year candidates that should've gone down. Ike Quartey gets the winner!!!
