    Who do you guys like here? I can see Cotto outclassing him, but i can also see a prime Yori boy walking down the naturally smaller Cotto and knocking him out. Im talking about the Yori Boy that beat Raul Marquez not the punching bag of later years. Yori Boy never had good defense but he actually had some decent skills in his prime to go along with his awesome chin and good power.

    I think Cotto's superior boxing skills enables him to win a decision but Cotto gets really marked up by those short shots that Campas throws. Cotto's face would be a mess, but he still wins.

    My first reaction was to go with Cotto but then I thought about it for a second:think

    Close fight. Cotto has had problems with strong pressure fighters.
    Prime4prime and at 154 Yori Boy's chances are not as bad as one would think.

    Campas was the same fighter he'd always been for a few years after losing to Tito. A tough guy with heavy hands who threw nice short punches, but with a tendency to block punches with his face. His best wins were after losing to Tito.

    He started losing more because there's a big difference in facing guys like Trinidad, Jose Luis Lopez, and Fernando Vargas than facing the likes of Roger Turner and a shopworn Jorge Vaca.
