    Your post made me think of how a Margarito/Spence fight would go.

    That was one of the better fights of that era not to happen.

    Cotto is being a bit over rated here, hate to say it because I love the guy… or Spence is being under rated..

    I view him and Spence as being on a VERY similar level honestly. Very good fighters, but not quite elite. I feel like if you swapped both their careers, they would win and lose the same fights.

    Pre accident Spence was really really good. Post accident he’s not elite

    I love Miggy. But I’d edge prime Spence.

    I think Spence is a pretty bad match-up for Cotto in all honesty. He’s a big welter, a heavy handed puncher, and he’s got a very good gas tank. The persistent pressure, jab, and high guard of Clottey gave Cotto fits in a fight he was lucky to get the nod in, so there is a blueprint there for Spence to follow with the added trouble of Spence being a southpaw and of him having a better engine and bigger punch than Clottey. Love Cotto but I think Spence would nick a competitive decision over him.

    Errol legit gives Cotto a lot of problems this fight is nowhere as near cut and dried as people believe, 50/50 fight lean towards Cotto.
