I don't see it as THAT much of a mismatch. From a purely logical standpoint, yes Cotto is quicker and more naturally skilled and the natural conclusion would seem to be Cotto by UD. But he's not THAT much better. Tony might not be as athletically gifted, but he IS skilled. Let's not also forget that Tony has the edge in experience. He is fully capable of capitalizing on any mistakes than Cotto makes. Bottom line, Tony has made a career at beating guys that are "better" than him.

Cotto's win over Mosley was impressive, but let's not forget that that was a 36 year old Mosley, and he barely beat him. Tony is in his prime. I'm not saying Cotto's not a great fighter, but he's certainly not invincible. Call me crazy, but I saw a lot of openings during the Gomez fight that Alfonso just couldn't take advantage of. Now maybe he was just being cavalier because he knew that Gomez couldn't hurt him, but I guarantee if he tries that with Tony, he will regret it.
