I didn't miss it, I just think it's a double edged sword if he fought Julio and the same with Judah. If he beats Judah people are gonna say Judah was done or wasn't there or something like that. And if he beats Julio they'll say that he beat the guy that Quintana beat to get to him. Cotto isn't gonna get credit he deserves either way.

But I'll play devils advocate on the other side, if he won either of them which fight he'd get more credit for winning He would get more respect knocking out Julio then knockout out Judah(which has never been done to Julio) and he would get a lot of respect if he dominated Judah the way Mayweather did and then stopped him(which Mayweather didn't) but Quintana already did it to Julio and he just got stopped by Cotto. So If its man who beat the man like you said then why would Cotto take a step backwards beating someone his last opponent already beat fairly easily? As far as a stoppage in both fights getting back to the point.

And both of those things are dooable for Cotto.

Will I give him credit however he wins regardless? You're sure as hell I will.

But will he get the kind of credit he deserves regardless of how he looks? I don't know about that one. You see where I'm going with this? But I think if ANY credit was given to Cotto moreso, it would be if he beat Judah and not Julio but that's just my two cents on it. I think Cotto would beat Julio fairly easily since Julio will stand there to get hit, at least Judah can offer something different. And even if he(Cotto) got the same ending in both fights, I think its more impressive to pull it against Judah then Julio.

get me? I hope I worded it all right
