    @ 140. Both at their best. Does Tszyu manage to stop Cotto in his tracks or can Cotto overpower Tszyu down the stretch?

    I think Tszyu gets him out of there late rounds. It’s a good fight. But I think Cotto would take too many right hands.

    Depends on if cotto is able to withstand KT power. He looked more vulnerable at 140 than at any other weights. Still, i think hed pushed through adversity and cave Kostya in with some bodyshots

    It's winnable for Cotto if he's aggressive and gets inside a lot banging the body but generally that wasn't his style. I think he might be a bit too patient and cerebral which would give Tszyu enough time to measure.

    Kostya by late stoppage in a good one.

    Agreed. Cotton if he goes wild a la Hatton but Miguel was very monotonous and comfort-zoney at times. Guys like Ricardo Torres had him on queer street so no reason Tszyu won't either.
