    Since alot of ppl seem to dislike Rios. How would he fare vs a young Cotto at 140?

    My guess is not very well.

    He might give Cotto a scare or two, but for the most part he gets beaten up and ultimately stopped

    Can't say I'm really overwhelmed by Rios, but I have never been overwhelmed by Cotto either... still, I'd say loadedgloves assessment makes sense

    I think Cotto would outbox him and pound out a decision. Cotto at 140 wasn't as sturdy as he was at 147 so he would be given some scares and he'd have to be smart.

    But I think his superior skill is the big difference between the two.

    Cotto's body attack caves Rios in within 8 rounds. Cotto's skill difference will be evident very early on.
