Judah...over achiever and fragile, Mosley about the same size bulk as Cotto, big name and presented a true challenge although Shane was not seen as a destructive fighter anymore, more of an older declining fighter that could present Cotto a test and raise his stock way up high if he won, which he did marginally.

Originally posted by Orale Vato View PostGood post Carnal! I agree 110%. I've said all along that Cotto is without a doubt the most vastly overrated / protected fighter of his time. It's funny how he has no problem fighting for vacant titles but when asked about a rematch with his papi Margarito, he shows his true colors and turns into a pinche cabron. Retire now Miguelito before the Tijuana Tornado comes and knocks down your front door in Caguas.

Originally posted by Orale Vato View PostNo, correction. The judges gave the decision to the hometown fighter. He did NOT beat Shane. Fellow Rican ref Benji Estevez stopped the action for a "spill" on the canvas when it was apparent that Shane was close to koing Miguelito. But then when Shane slipped Benji didn't even bother to wipe the canvas the same way he did for Miguelito. What a disgrace that evening was. I had Shane winning 8 rounds to 4.

I don't think I'd say Cotto is protected, but one thing that we do know is he's never fought two elite fighters back to back until Clottey and Pacquiao. I think that ultimately hurt him when he had to finally fight someone who could take his punch and spit back in his face. What I mean is we'd see a pattern of Alfonzo Gomez to Antonio Margarito. Michael Jennings and then back up the food chain. I don't know if that hurt or helped him. And he does anything that Top Rank tells him to regardless of whether or not it's in his best interest.

Originally posted by Castenada Jr. View PostWhat a sham Arum has put on with Cotto. Cotto owns Arum his kids! It amazes me that cotto still is YET TO BEAT A CHAMPION!! The only time he's EVER won a championship is when it was vacant and against some nobody. He got ko'd and showed no heart against margarito and he got ko'd and showed no heart against pacman. He wanted out of the ring against margarito and even more against pacman. Now he's going to fight yuri foreman at 154!! what a joke. This guy is the most protected fighter in the sport. If Cotto wasnt with Arum who is as good as it gets making fighters cotto would be just another fighter.
