How would a Prime Cotto and Margarito do vs todays Elite Welterweights

[Dean Duke]

Cotto was at his best at light welter until he struggled to make weight and then got knocked down. Cotto did struggle with big welters so Thurman/Brooks would cause issues.

Just shows you how good Cotto was to win a title at light middle.

Yeah, people forget Cotto's fights at 140. His frame was perfect for that weight. Welter was pushing it.

What about Prime Cotto v Crawford at 140lb? Now that would be good.

Oh yeah... excellent fight. Crawford's a terrific tactician and counterpuncher, but then so was Cotto in his prime.

Cotto would of dropped the shot in the balls for sure

Only if necessary, and at a strategic time.

Tito did the same.

Cotto had more success at other weights then he did at ww he was never the man at that weight. Funny enough he became the lineal champ at 160 with out ever fighting there but that different story. Cotto best wins at 147 is Zab who kinda lost most of his big fights and Shane when he was 36 which was md very close fight. Cotto was good ww but i think 140 was more of better weight option 154 worked out because he had speed until he got owned by trout.

I've always thought of Cotto as a small welterweight so becoming a 4 division champion is a feat imo. Margarito on the other hand was just an extra ordinarily big welterweight the likes of Spence and Brook. Funny i remember here at Saddos when Margo stopped Cotto somebody even mentioned the Tijuana Tornado would destroy Tito and Oscar, lol. Bunch of flip floppers.
