    I think these two bombers would've put a hell of a show on, i honestly think that Titos height would give Cotto problems, Tito was a large Welter with pop...but Tito struggles with a technical boxer, and i think Cotto is incorporating an well-rounded game. What do you guys think?

    Tito struggles with a technical boxer who doesn't get hit or trade. Cotto will take a punch to give a punch. Only because of this, Tito. I'm assuming 147 and not 154.

    Tito by first punch that lands possibly in the first round.

    Only DLH at 147 had a chance by staying clear the hell away while pointing. Mayweather Jr. but also by refusing to trade will have a chance. Cotto will go inside and by doing so will get knocked out. Trinidad was a monster at 147.

    Being a fan of both I would love to see a prime for prime. I'm gonna go against the grain and take Cotto.

    Sooooo blowing it out of proportion. :lol:

    I'd say Tito KO 5th - 6th round. Left hook temple shot would spell doom for Cotto.


    Man there is a horrendous difference in power here. Cotto has JUST ENOUGH power to bust people up and get respect from boxers at 147lbs.

    Trinidad put people in concussions at 147lbs, ended careers at 154lbs and his power STILL delivered at 160lbs.
    If Cotto were to move up to 154lbs, his power would fizzle out - his limit is 147lbs and well Trinidad's power advantage in this fight is not even cool.

    Trinidad also had a pretty good right hand. Cotto's jab would present problems for Trinidad though.
