and also if the fight had happened how do people see it turning out ?

i personally think cotto was a little green than and would have been stopped in the middle rounds

i agree would of perphaps been a few fights too soon for cotto who would of had to go on all out assault to beat tszyu who probably would of been wily enough to choose his assaults well and pick up a points win.

As for why they never met - probably down to tszyu being more established yet cotto holding a bigger title. Quite easy for cottos people to avoid tszyu and vice versa.
