    terrible thread. Curry would be too sharp for Cotto.

    Cotto vs Honeyghan is fairer IMO

    I clicked on this thread thinking it was Curry vs Pacquiao. Maybe it's because of all the Pac threads going around.

    I agree with fleaman, Curry was too sharp. I was ready to take him over Pac as well.

    Prime Curry would out class Cotto,and beat the **** out of him.
    During his brief prime Curry was a great fighter, Cotto is only a good one.

    Agree. Cotto has not advanced technically. He tried the same **** (ear muffs, laying on the ropes, backing up in a straight line) against Pac that he did against Margarito. Curry would beat him easily. Curry liked to infight when it wasn't necessary but he'd outclass Cotto on the inside too.

    I know Curry would destroy Cotto, just felt like being cruel to Miguel.

    Curry would be too sharp. Sort of like the Colin Jones fight.

    Cotto vs JONES, now thad a war. Cotto gets off the deck to win on points, both men wearing claret masks.

    Colin Jones might have very well stopped Cotto.

    That is the first thing I thought as well. Curry at his peak would be too sharp for Cotto.
    I think Jones though would have a good chance of putting the sleeper on Cotto.

    Curry would be too much for Cotto to handle.Figure a 9th round stoppage would be accurate.

    I think you guys are underrating Cotto by saying Honeyghan and Jones would whip him. I think Cotto would probably beat both those guys.
    However a prime in shape Curry is too sharp for Cotto, Cotto would have his moments put Curry would get him out of there in 8.

    you are effected by a previously beaten cotto drained to a catchweight.
    i don't know who wins here but what did colin jones ever do to be considered the favorite over cotto ? and cotto would have won against honeyghan.
