Cotto will destroy Paulie and then shock the world when he disposes of Castillo. :boxing:

I just can't wait for the fight. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Cotto will hit a brick wall when he faces Castillo and crumble to dust. Castillo is stronger, hits harder, and has a much stronger chin. Cotto will be hard pressed to beat JLC in a brawl and he sure as hell can't outbox him if Mayweather had trouble doing that. Malignaggi has a better chance against Cotto than Cotto does against JLC. :werd: That pretty much sums it up. Castillo ko 7 ;)

man cotto is going down

i'l take castillo in this fight, he's tougher than anyone that cotto has ever fought, and fights better on the inside. castillo has a high punch out and is a better fighter through and through, inside and out. plus the pressure he applies is nothing cotto has ever dealt with before. castillo by late round tko by brutal beating along the way..... also it is a good match up, i would expect this to be a very exciting fight to watch......

I dunno if there is any question that Castillo can take Cotto's sunday shot. But as far as Cotto's beard standing up to "El Temible", I have some serious doubts. I think Cotto will start fast against Castillo, but Castillo's experience and saavy will dominate late and Cotto will remain on his seat after the 10th round. But it should be entertaining. With Hatton, Cotto, and Castillo inevitably at 140, you gotta wonder why none of these guys get down together and make some fight of the years occur. That would be great for the sport. agree but a war w/ corrales in which castillo takes a beating whether he wins or loses may have detrimental effects on a cotto matchup.

This is a great fight between two great fighters, and the best Puerto Rico Vs. Mexico fight in years. good post man -unbiased comment form someone who obviously likes cotto

I disagree with that. I think that torres packed a much bigger punch than castillo. But I agree with you when you say castillo is consistent with his power thoughout a fight. More accurate as well i agree that torres is a harder puncher than castillo ..castillo can put cotto down but cotto has very very good recupative power he has comeback from being very hurt and shaky both against corley and torres ...cotto is a very good boxer and has a very good defense and he has more power than castillo people act like castillo is going to blow cotto out of the water.. castillo will be the smaller man in this fight remember cotto has to kill himslef to make 140 he realisticly could be fighting at 147 or 154 lbs. right now ...castillo should be favored because he has proven alot more than cotto ...but i will go with the underdog in this fight cotto by tko ..

Cotto and Castillo will be fighting each other if Castillo defeats Corrales again.

Cotto hits harder than JLC. IF he uses movement he has a real shot at beating Castillo, who is slowing down from all of those ring wars he's been in. I think Castillo would be the favorite, but Cotto would definitely have a shot at a W.

castillo beats cotto for 6 rounds and finishes him off in the 7th, if i were cotto i dont want it with jlc.

Castillo hits much harder than anyone Cotto's faced, and he can hit like that for 12 rounds. I disagree with that. I think that torres packed a much bigger punch than castillo. But I agree with you when you say castillo is consistent with his power thoughout a fight. More accurate as well

There is no basis or past history that points in the direction of Paulie Malinaggi to win this fight...period. Have you ever played the ponies? When you go to a racetrack and you read a from you dont bet a horse who has been involved in 5K claiming races when that horse is moving up and racing in 150K claiming races. When you take an underdog like Paulie or a 5K horse then your prediction shouldnt be credited if it comes true it should be taken for exactly what it was...a fucking miracle. Cotto has fought a bunch of legit guys...Paulie has never ever ever fought even semi-legit guys...I just dont see how any boxing scribe who has half a brain can pick Paulie unles they just like to dare to be different. Folllow the evidence! Look, I understand your point, but for one, I'm not betting anything on Paulie, nor am I a fan of his, but based on pure ability (mainly footwork and ring generalship) Paulie is a flat out runner and Cotto is a plodder, period. If Paulie gets hit at all with anything significant, this fight will become a race, and I can't see Cotto being able to catch Paulie unless his legs go away, which I've never seen happen to him. If Paulie were to win the fight, I wouldn't expect anyone to call me brilliant, that's not how I am. I am just making an observation that I think he has the skills, even if he is still unproven, it's still up to him to do it. I really don't think too much about whether others think I know what I'm talking about, for me it's just fun to think about how the fight could play out, and see if it plays out that way. I have never posted in order to gain recognition or credibility, I just enjoy discussing boxing. I'm not necessarily picking Paulie, the point I was really trying to make was that Cotto isn't all he's cracked up to be, and he's not going to blast Paulie like many think he will. If Cotto beats Paulie, he won't beat Castillo. In that fight I AM picking Castillo, and by KO. If you're looking to hold me to a prediction, hold me to that one. If I'm wrong, then so be it lol

yep they must have signed Miguel Cotto: http://boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=033535 and Jose Luis Castillo: http://boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=008837 must have signed to fight each other for the WBO light welterweight title, but I'm sure that the contract is valid only if Cotto doesn't suffer a disaster against Malignaggi and Castillo comes out of his fight with Corrales in good health. The contract might include contingencies about whether Cotto or Castillo win in their earlier bouts. I'm sure that we will hear about it soon. Castillo's fight with Corrales is for the WBC Lightweight Title so the result of this fight won't change the status of the fight in November between Cotto and Castillo, which is for the WBO light welterweight title. However, the Malignaggi-Cotto fight in June is for the WBO Light Welterweight Title, and if Malignaggi wins we may see Malignaggi against Castillo in November instead of Cotto. This may sound confusing but it's not any worse than what we have in the playoffs in football these days.

I understand about the level of opposition or lack therof in Malignaggi's case, but I'm just going by what I've seen from Cotto and Paulie and IMO Paulie is just alot faster than Cotto and I haven't seen his legs go away in the course of a fight. My only point is, even if Paulie can't outpoint Cotto, I still think he's fast enough to avoid Cotto's bombs until the last bell rings, and then everyone will be saying that Cotto couldn't even KO a supposed bum with no power and no resume.

pual is going to get knocked out by cotto thats why he aint going to say anything trust me i see pual fight on espn and hes not ready for cotto he needs more and better fights than the ones that he has

I looked on Boxrec, and if that's true then it certainly suggests that they are taking Paulie lightly. I personally think that Paulie will either outpoint Cotto or make him look so bad in losing that everyone and their mother will be badmouthing Cotto again. When all is said and done though, I don't think it will matter because if Cotto fights Castillo I don't see him lasting until the final bell. I know that people say he's not just a brawler, that he can box and I agree, but Castillo was able to land quite a bit on Mayweather and Floyd's leagues above Cotto in that respect. On top of that, Castillo hits much harder than anyone Cotto's faced, and he can hit like that for 12 rounds. I think it spells doom for Cotto even if he does beat Paulie lol
