(PRIME) MIGUEL COTTO vs. (PRIME) KELL BROOK

Great fight prime for prime. I'd say it'd be a quite similar to Cotto-Judah. Brook would have success in a competitive war but ultimately Cotto would emerge the stronger guy in the late rounds and stop him.

 

Cotto is more proven, but they are very evenly matched. I give the edge to Cotto. I think Brook had the same potential as Cotto but tried to stay at 147lbs way too long. He had the potential to win another belt at 154lbs and do well.

 

Cotto by split decision.

 

Kell a bit underrated because of how his career was mismanaged.

 

Cotto in all likelihood takes this one but not without Kell winning a number of rounds. A split or majority decision seems like the most probable outcome with Cotto edging it on the cards.

 

Great match-up. Brook wins a war of attrition and imposes his superior timing to get the 'W'. Hard to separate these two and I'm not gonna froth at the mouth if someone disagrees with my pick. As a reference, I can't see any version of Malignaggi going the distance with a prime Kell...

 

Prime Cotto wears Brook down.

 

I think Brook could of achieved more than he did had he gotten more opportunities but I have to favour Cotto in this match up, he's simply proven at a higher level and Brook has never beaten anyone as good as Cotto.

 

Cotto but Kell would give him a hell of a fight

 

Hard one to answer, perhaps it could have been settled with two or three fights with both winning at least one.

 

The best version of Brook is a very, very live dog in this one. Very evenly matched, a lot of Cotto's usual edges are equalized.

 

Yes !

 

Brook has some success early on but Cotto would eventually break him down and stop him late.

 

Cotto could outbox or beat him into submission. Brook is big so he'd absorb a lot until it accumulates. Cotto tko9
