I hate Honeyghan, but he has the kind of high workrate and energy coupled with respectable power to really take a toll on Miguel... Cotto would have his moments and win some rounds, but I honestly think Honeyghan stops him in the 11th or 12th... I don't like Cotto's ability to deal with that kind of physically taxing style... you need to be made of sterner stuff or have some other major Ace in the deck- like one-shot KO power, for instance- in order to deal with a guy like Honeyghan if you are spotting that much in terms of stamina and durability
This is really a bad style matchup for Cotto. I can't see him outboxing Honeyghan over the distance or dominating the infighting like Starling.
I agree but Cotto seems to have done pretty well facing a variety of styles. I think this would make for a pretty good fight.
