who do y'all think takes this between cotto and lemmy
Very real chance Cotto gets laid out.
Stupid fight to take and I doubt its happening, Cotto makes more money fighting GGG in his final fight December or January than fighting Lemeiux and the possiblility of getting knocked out is the same.

AB getting knocked out cold if he fights at 147.
He is beyond washed and hopefully Lucas sends his bytch ass to retirement to never be heard of again.

Yeah long as he doesn't go toe to toe with Lemmy. Cotto still a helluva boxer.
Even in his prime he had problem with pressure and thats what Lemieux can bring, plus Cotto doesn't have the power to keep him off him. It will be similar to Margo fight IMHO except Cotto wears down quicker and gets laid out, instead of taking a knee.

How effective is lemieux at pressure I wonder:jbhmm:
To be honest I think T rex arms hits harder than GGG but he doesn't put his together as well and doesn't have his ring generalship:jbhmm:
Cotto's ring IQ is no joke but you got a point about whether Lemieux would respect his power.

Lemiuex kept following GGG around the ring as he was jabbed to death.
I agree GGG is a far superior boxer than Lemeiux, but does have less pop, which is a credit to Lemmy.
Cotto fades after 6 rounds, that is the issue, and he is too prone to trying to trade and staying in range. You can land on him and funnily enough I don't think he has the mental discipline to do what GGG did and simply refuse to engage and get into an exchange. I'm sure Brian will be trying to stress that to him.

I think Lemieux is the hardest hitter at 160lbs but dudes feet so slow it looks like he's fighting in the Adidas Kobe 2's. And then on top that it's easier for a revolutionary war soldier to let off two shots on a running red coat with a musket than it is for Lemieux to hit a moving target with a combo
