    Cotto better technically but I believe Cuevas catches him and takes him out

    Cotto by TKO10. Cotto didn't really lose any shoot outs and I can't see a scenario for Cuevas winning outside of clipping Cotto, and I wouldn't bet money on that happening.

    I see Cotto outboxing and brutalizing him into submission

    Pipino Cuevas was a destroyer. He broke bones on a regular basis. With the way Cotto fights he would have to walk a tightrope to avoid Cuevas power. Pipino had an outstanding chin.
    Over 15 rounds I think it's a tough ask for Miguel Cotto. I'd predict a stoppage for Cuevas around 9th or 10th round.

    Too close to call for me.
    But what a battle it would be!

    Cotto was a tough MF. But he never faced anyone with the
    destructive firepower of prime Cuevas (No, not even Randall Bailey)
    Cuevas will force a fight, which Cotto would gladly oblige.
    A mistake...
    Cotto would definitely be in the fight until suddenly he wouldn't
    be.
    Cuevas eventually lands the shot that ends the fight for him
    with in10-11 rds.

    I also pick Cuevas but he’s losing the poll. Let’s hear it, Cotto fans.
