Wow. Taylor is so much taller. I think Taylor definitely takes it in his prime. Now? I give Taylor a chance but would have to favor Cotto
Right now, Cotto destroys him. Prime Taylor beats Cotto at 160. P4P, Cotto was several levels better.
Cotto would never beat prime Taylor imo. Way too small for Taylor who was a big MW. Even now, I give Taylor a good chance.
Taylor is not an aggressive fighter & Cotto is excellent at closing range and cutting off the ring. Cotto is also much better than Taylor.
