Smash you always get a bit too excited and overrate fighters this is good victory but lets not go overboard and start making claims that he can beat someone like Cotto.

I think Witter hits harder then Cotto does.

I didn't say better fighter, I just said hits harder. I'm only basing that on that in the fight when they were talking to him before hand they showed highlights and it showed him decking lovemore ndou

No way does he hit harder than Cotto i've seen quite a few fights of each fighter and i can tell you there power isn't even comparable Cotto is much harder hitter than Witter and the only way this fight would happen if Witter moves up to Welterweight which i don't see him doing and would he be less effective at Welterweight like Hatton was ??

If he moved up I dont think he'd do it the "wrong" way as Hatton said was the reason for his bad performance..

But I dont think Witter would move up just now, he wants to solidify himself at 140 first

Why not? Tell me what makes you think Cotto is so much better than him
Witter imo does hit at the same level and definately seems to have the better chin,he's faster and has a better defence plus the fact he's a switch Hitter make him a serious danger to anyone at LW and Welter.

I thought ICE COLD you said before that Cotto will not be a great fighter. Have you changed your mind over Cotto?

[Memphis]

Im pretty sure Lovemore N'Dou would put Witters power on a par with Cotto.

Witter throws fast explosive single hits, Cotto throws by comparison slow thudding whacks but more often, I'd say theres not a lot in it either way.

Decent win for Witter, he delivered what we all wanted so cant ask for more than that, OK so the Hatton fights no closer to happening for him but that was going to be the case regardless, its all about what Hatton does or doesnt do isnt it?

I don't remember saying that i am Cotto fan anyways as for Smash Witter leaves his hands down too much and his chin is there to be hit and Cotto will hit it and no way does Witter take Cotto's best shots at Welterweight.

But to be fair to Witter aswell he has very quick hands and good power i wouldn't be suprised if Cotto had to take a count i think Witter will definetly shake up Cottto few times but once it gets into middle rounds Cotto will take over with them crunching body shots and stop Witter late on.

People have been saying that Brendle Ingle fighters leave their hands down too long but that is one of their greatest weapon when it is done right by a good fighter from their camp such as Naz and Herol Graham. It was suprising how Vivian Harris was so confused and beaten and Johnny Nelson did say that US fighters tend to get confused with the style in the gym and he said he would have no problem beating Paul Malignaggi. Whilst I do not think he could beat Cotto he could unify the 140 division, and that should position himself for the big fight winner of the Welterweights Mayweather/Hatton/Cotto/Mosley

Witter isn't as slick as Graham he does get caught and leaves his chin up in there air.

Witter imo does hit at the same level and definately seems to have the better chin,he's faster and has a better defence plus the fact he's a switch Hitter make him a serious danger to anyone at LW and Welter.

Except for the switch hitter part, all the reasons many thought Zab would beat Cotto...

I'd have to say common opponents. Cotto beat Judah and stopped Corley. Witter hasn't really had the same tests yet.

Also, in terms of skill, Cotto has great power and resiliance and has the ability to trouble anyone. He also knows how to get himself out of trouble, and I don't think Witter would apply enough pressure if he had Cotto in the kind of trouble Torres did.

I'm a massive Cotto fan, and I may have mentioned the odd time that I don't care for Junior Witter though, so I'm totally bias.
