    Prime Quartey hammers Cotto.

    Very bad matchup for Miggy.

    Of the 90s trio I feel like Cotto matches up best against DLH. He definitely wouldnt beat Oscar, but he'd give a good account in a losing effort.

    I think Cotto gets hammered by Quartey and laid out by Trinidad.

    Yeah.

    He’d convincingly lose to Whitaker as well. I would take prime Mosley over him and Forrest is a bad match up for him too.

    Ike too big and strong and tough for Cotto - Miguel was best at super lightweight.

    I guess I'm the lone dissenter who would favor Cotto in this?

    With Cotto, you have a surefire HoFer who proved his mettle in tough wins against the likes of Mosley, Mayorga, and Margarito.

    With Quartey, you have a fighter who looked good against a certain level of competition, but fought tentatively and came up short in his three biggest fights - which, probably not coincidentally, also happen to be against the three biggest punchers he ever fought.

    In short, I wouldn't trust how Quartey responds to feeling Cotto's power - he may look to fight off the back foot and just jab his way to a decision, which backfired for him against Lopez and DLH.

    Haven't changed my opinion.

    Ike hammers Cotto.
