Cotto Vs. Angulo who takes it?

[ElTerribleMorales]

if Cintron and Julio were able to outbox Angulo, IMO Cotto makes him look more one dimensional than he already is

I have to give Cintron props because he did make him look very bad, but I think alot of that had to do with the reach of Cintron and obviously the punching power. Two things that Cotto doesnt carry much of in this division. I dont see Julio fight the same way you do, while he was certainly hanging tough Julio was getting hit with some very clean shots for the entire fight and while he made it far he is also bigger than Cotto and could absorb more than what a very beat up forward can take from the bigger man.

While he looked good against Foreman you knmow very well that Foreman's shots dont have much snap thats why that fight was choosen.

how can you say Cotto's power wasn't carried up to 154? first off you can't really base it on just that fight, and if you want to just base it on that fight, Cotto was staggering Foreman with just his double jabs, and solid rights

Cintron might have better reach but Cotto has overall better skills and movement, if he's as patient as he was against Foreman i don't see Cotto tiring and boxing circles around Angulo

This was the first fight that came to mind when watching Cotto beat Foreman the other night.

Regardless of how low some poeple rate Angulo, I think it would be a great great all action fight and Angulo would have a chance of wearing Cotto down late.

By the 12th round Angulo had Cintron practically out on his feet.

I'll pick Cotto to out box him, and I am def not an Angulo fan, but their styles would make for a great fight and Angulo would have a much better shot than what some hard headed people on this forum are giving him.

Let's not act like Angulo is automatically as good of a fighter as Margarito. Margarito beat Cintron twice while Angulo lost even if he was coming on at the end, for fighters of the same style you can kind of draw off that.

Cotto to me didn't look as good as I hoped he would.

class wise, cotto takes it but then again, angulo hits too hard to be dismissed by any 154lber. like someone already alluded to, cotto will build up a nice impressive lead but i see angulo getting stronger as the fight goes on and takes cotto to very deep waters. can cotto survive? that remains to be seen but i definitely give angulo a great chance of beating cotto!

How good is Margarito? Even if you're a Margarito fan we don't know how long he used plaster. He even still says he never knew. If true, then the wraps had to have felt normal to him with drying plaster in them. So that could've been the norm. 2 fights we know he didn't and he looked like crap in one losing by bad TKO and the other he looked average or so. I think we need to see more of Margarito. He may very well have been boosted by cheating the whole time. I mean this is the same guy who before he got caught with the plaster had broken one fighters eye socket, nearly torn off another fighter's ear, and had Cotto bleeding from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Even if you're the most naive guy in the world you have to see that this is abnormal and highly suspicious.

I understand that believe me and I'm not a Margarito defender, but I'm just trying to make my point about Angulo. If you believe it was a plastered Margarito that beat Cotto and Cintron, then I don't believe Angulo is better or as good as a plastered Margarito. That's my only point, just because he was from the same camp and is a pressure fighter like Margarito doesn't mean he's going to do the job effectively.
