Thats because he's always pitted in MM's with guys like Hearns, Duran, Benitez, Curry, Leonard ect..... guys who anybody with a brain would say Cotto has no chance with. Cotto was a very good fighter, but theres ALOT of welterweights in history that beat him. Thats just a fact.
Benitez could be lazy and Cottos high workrate sees him win a good few rounds in this 1 but benitez's skill and defense see him win a clear UD How about Cotto-Palomino
Palomino too strong, durable, offensively efficient and well-rounded imo.Would probably be similar to Stracey palomino.A sustained beatdown where Cotto has his moments and lands a good amount of punches, but never really looks like winning and eventually gets brutalised.
