    I think that Tito would win probably by KO late, If you think Cotto is scary at 147 then Tito was the Grim Reaper!!!

    ITs a toss up. Both have been labeled as chinny.

    Would this be a case of who lands the heavy shots first.

    Labels are not always accurate. Tito had some KD's due to bad balance wheras Cotto was actually seriously hurt twice.

    I don't think either guy is chinny to tell you the truth but Tito had the kind of power that would mess you up even if you were not chinny. I think he would just be too much for Cotto and wear him down.

    I think Tito will beat him in a late KO if he get's to corner him somewhere a few times, but I honestly think that Cotto has more tools (better technique) like better jab, faster, better foot work and the fact that Cotto can stand in as an orthodox or southpaw at times.

    Really? tito had an awesome jab. Very stiff very hard. I think it was better than Cotto's. His jab would stand his opponent straight up and line him up for that left hook. I'll agree with you on footwork but I'd say that are about even in speed and tito had the better jab.

    I dont think that Tito has ever been as seriously hurt as Cotto, most of his KD's were flash KD's. And he was just exausted versus Hopkins.
