I like Cotto and think he is a good, solid fighter. I also think that he has had some great match making to get to the level he is at and the prestige he enjoys. I don't view Cotto at WW anywhere near the level of fighter that Duran was. I hate to say that about Cotto, because he is a solid and likeable guy who works hard and always shows up to fight, but again, he just doesn't have the durability or overall athleticism to compete with Duran.

Napoles was a great WW, and it would have been fascinating to see if Duran could have solved a smooth boxing stylist like that at WW. Duran had slow feet, even at lightweight, which I think puts him at a disadvantage against fast, mobile boxers like Napoles, Whitaker, Leonard...etc.
