As a rule, Cotto is generally more effective against boxers than brawlers. He's the opposite of Tito. Tito struggled with boxers, yet killed guys who came at him. Cotto does well with boxers, yet a brawling stype can give him Hell. I think Roldan kicks his ass. Too big, too mean, too strong.
Roldan is probably too big and strong for Cotto. If Cotto fights anybody remotely like Roldan at MW and does well I could certainly change my mind.
Roldan Wipes his Ass w/Cotto... We're Talking about a Dude that FORCED Marvin Hagler BACKWARDS, was Credited w/the ONLY "Knockdown" of Hagler's Career (if REED's Not Mistaken), AND Took Tommy Hearns LIFE & DEATH, En Route to Losing a Back & Forth Slugfest... Roldan DESTROYS Cotto @ 160, in 4-5 Rounds MAX... REED:up:
in fairness, that knockdown was bullshit... Hagler clearly slipped and fell forward as he was moving Roldan was strong as a bull though
No Doubt it WASN'T Legit, but to Even GET Marvin Hagler in a Position for a B.S. "Knockdown" is IMPRESSIVE... REED:hammert:
Roldan/Cotto would look like Margarito/Cotto I except it doesn't go that long... Roldan simply mauls wee, fragile Cotto causing Mrs. Cotto's enormous bosom to heave dramatically as she cries
Bullshit! Cotto is a mixture of all former PR champions. He's got the technical skills of Gomez, the power of Tito, the reflexes of Benitez, the accuracy of Dejesus, and the handspeed of Camacho.
As long as Cotto doesn't get hurt, he should be able to out-box Roldan. Too bad he's going to get hurt
