View Full Version : You guys are funny...Cotto and Floyd get rocked by Corley
TyrantT316 02-27-2005, 12:58 AM And they have no chin?
since when did having a good chin mean you NEVER EVER get rocked in a fight?
no, going down 7 times to a feather fisted puncher is no chin...getting KOed in the first round is no chin...
getting rocked by a perfect counter, dealing with it, and going on to win is not a bad chin...
why is everyone so quick to write off a guy's chin after he gets rocked? After the Corley/Floyd fight, people said Floyd had no chin...
any other time you guys bash on a fighter for getting hit hard and not being able to regroup...as soon as someone does, they get no credit for it...
Slipx 02-27-2005, 01:02 AM i think floyd will be exposed too, as good of a fighter as he is, he does has a suspect chin. his excellent defense overcomes this though, much like lennox lewis's
but cotto was exposed no doubt, im glad though, thats what he gets for not fighting in the proper weight division. it's always nice to predict an upset and see the upset happening, then have a ref **** it all up. this is why we love boxing. :)
TyrantT316 02-27-2005, 01:04 AM I just want to see fighters get credit for handling adversity rather than berated with "exposed" chants...and fans wonder why fighters or promoters don't want to take risks...they know fans will write the fighter off immediately...
Floyd has eaten some good shots

I guess Foreman had a glass chin for being rocked by Holyfield or being down a few times in his career?
Slipx 02-27-2005, 01:06 AM dont compare that to foreman's knockdowns
we're talking about the power of corely
also, foreman blew through his first 30 pro opponents,which were mostly in the US where most of the boxing skill was at the time.
he was fighting opposition like corely from day one, cotto is stepping up at 22 wins and almost got punked, if it werent for the ref stopping it I could have seen cotto getting a subdural hematoma, corely was hitting him flush, way flusher than he was hitting corely
abdiel2k3 02-27-2005, 01:07 AM well by ur own definition they got exposed
they got rocked by corely
who is a feather fisted fighter
Neuraxis 02-27-2005, 01:09 AM Corley has had one TKO/KO in nearly the past four years, the guy doesn't exactly have that much power. I don't know if Cotto's chin is that weak or if it was because he was being way too overagressive. Only time will tell.
Slipx 02-27-2005, 01:10 AM I love watching guys with insane chins but have minimal power, it always makes for a damn good bout.
TyrantT316 02-27-2005, 01:11 AM honestly, in Floyd's case...I think he just got caught with the perfect counter when they were throwing a punch at the same time...
that is why fighters usually say "hey, he is a man with two fists...that always makes him dangerous"
Dr.Depravity 02-27-2005, 01:14 AM I think Cotto was exposed because he got hit an awful lot by Chop Chop. Plus Cotto unofficially weighed in 17lbs heavier than Corley. Not to mention Corleys notorious for being a soft puncher.
Slipx 02-27-2005, 01:16 AM can you just imagine how '****ed' cotto will be when gatti gets him drunk with the jab, then unleashes his hook combination..i LOVE it when hometown *****es get slapped

what a retard.
you joined last month...and you have almost 1000 posts.
you accuse me of "padding" my postcount in order to get to 100.
If I keep going at this rate, next month I might have 500.
Half of your ignorant, insensitive, knowitall posts.

Just who do you like anyway?

hey bro i'm thinking even BOJADO will give Cotto trouble!
Cotto is seriously lucky the fight was stopped he was so punch drunk after the fight i was scared for his life man! He was getting rocked so many times on the left temple man! that shyt looked BAD!
I would hate to see Cotto in another fight man...he's gonna end up being the next Joe Mesi.
Zab Super Judah 02-27-2005, 01:43 AM any man can get hurt you guys change your minds too quickly
Slipx 02-27-2005, 01:12 PM I would hate to see Cotto in another fight man...he's gonna end up being the next Joe Mesi.
Indeed he is.
One of the known rules of boxing is that you can't be an aggressive bull and be successful, without an iron chin. Just take a look at all the aggressive bulls there has been, any successful one has a good chin. However if you look at guys who choose to box and pick their shots/counterpunch then you'll notice they not only have longer careers, but are able to compete on the world class level with a glass jaw.
Unless Cotto pulls a Gatti and learns the jab quicker than Neo learned kung fu in the matrix, he's going to not only have a short career, but likely a damaged brain, if he continues to fight like he did last night.
Slipx 02-27-2005, 01:23 PM what a retard.

Nice try, funny guy. I accused you of posting a plethora of useless one liners, never did I say anything about you padding your postcount.
Your just another piece of smegma, posting useless spam, utter ignorance like this is hardly even worthy of a reply. This is the result of a child emerging from the sherdog cesspool too early, it's obvious you'll abandon this account soon since theres five or six people flaming you right now in various threads; next time you decide to create an account here, choose a better name than Runw/knives, and refrain from making yourself look like an infected scrodum by posting one liners and saying 'owned.'
good luck on the next accnt creation ;-)

That's just plain Ridiculous. The guy gets caught with a good shot and all of a sudden he's being compared to Baby Joe. And of course Slipx had to agree with him. Dumb & dumber...lol
jack_the_rippuh 02-27-2005, 01:56 PM Mayweather ate a Corrales left hook in their fight and didn't even wince..
MWCOFSU 02-27-2005, 02:09 PM Mayweather = 140
Corley = 140
Cotto = 157(middleweight)
Corley = 140 (jr. welterweight)
I mean you guys can ignore it if you want.
Also, even though the HBO crew chose to ignore it, Corley landed a lot more shots than just the one that put Cotto in trouble.
Mayweather can got rocked and hurt, but he was still slipping punches. Hell Mayweather was throwing back .
Cotto didnt know where he was.
I still think Mayweather can contend in this division. Cotto better work on some things. If Tzsyu or Harris have Cotto hurt, they aren't going to tickle him with feathers like Corley's dumbass did.
exciting fight, terrible stoppage. i can't say anything about that ref that hasnt already been said.
