My American friends: It is endearing, your excitement about SSM - Cotto.

You would need to first post a notification of your incoming post to allow this however.

 

I think Cintron would have a better chance of beating Cotto... Cottos' punch resistance seems to have improved with the move up in weight, but it's still not good enough to handle that sort of power :bbb

Edit; Don't take it so personally Sweet Pea, serious or not, it's done in good humour after all.

 

True, but Cintron got starched by Margarito, who probably has less overall power than Cotto. He may get starched first. Though with Steward in his corner, there is a chance he may have rectified that issue.

 

Margarito grinded out that win due to his toughness, Cotto won't be doing the same thing, it'll look more like a hot shoe shuffle followed by a brief siesta :yep

 

Margarito stopped him in 5. Not much of a grind there.

 

They traded and Marg won due to toughness, that's all i'm conveying... something Cotto won't be doing

 

I dunno, think it would be a good scrap. Not sure who would win. But I gather that Cotto might surprise you a bit.

 

As long as you don't assume that win over Jones, we're even stevensbbb

 

Cotto can beat a lot of top guys (Mosely, Clottey, possibly Williams, tough match up though), he's a very good fighter and his resume is underrated imo, he doesn't get enough credit for beating someone like Abdullaev. It's just the way these two guys match up, Cintron is too murderous a puncher, and isn't wild or telegraphed enough to not land some shots, imo opinion it'll end to early for Cottos' better boxing, and bodywork to come into it.

 

Exactly. Cotto is superior in almost every facet of the game to Cintron. Anyone who picks a fight on a "punchers chance" is short sighted IMO. Still, this would always be a dangerous fight for Cotto because of his power. I would still pick Cotto to take it though.
