Cotto didn't look great against FOreman, and he had troubles with FOreman's speed when he is significantly slower than Berto, with way less power. Cotto seemed to lack a lot of his power in that fight, and though he had better balance he was still getting hit easily, and he's had more wars than Berto which I think has made his chin a little more suspect, and I could see Berto badly hurting him with one, whereas Cotto doesn't have that same explosiveness, nor does he have that vaunted body attack he once possessed.
    amazing a post that didn't include Mayweather, but here's one, Mayweather came to PR looking to fight Cotto, after slamming the dude i'd love to hear your explanation of how he's a "decent" opponent now

    Styles make fights. Berto is fast and powerful not a good combination for Cotto. Mayweather waits and counters which would put Cotto in the drivers seat in terms of the action so when he gets hurt and tired he can decide to back off and the fight will have a break in the action.

    Manny and Margo both kept coming on Cotto and he wilted under the preassure. I dont think Mayweather would be the aggressor which owuld be better for Cotto, unless of course its the "I have a point to prove" Mayweather that was the aggressor with Mosley. If thats the case then its a bad night for Miguel Cotto.
    The key is Self-discipline.

    Berto is far from being a relentless fighter, and in no way shape or form does he have devastating power, his power is average at best

    He is not Margarito aggressive but I do think he has above average power in his punches due to his speed.

    thing is Berto tends to wait on guys like he's done against Urango and he did in the middle rounds against Collazo, IMO Cotto takes his speed away with body work, and like i said earlier Berto has a suspect chin, he's been hurt by lighter hitting guys than Cotto (in no way is Cotto a light puncher especially at 147)

    Do you think Cotto would go back down to 147 and leave his belt? He seemed to be very happy at his new weight.

    for the right money he would, but the thing is Berto doesn't generate that type of money
