do any off you guys rate ricardo torres or am i out of my mind?
i think he would have shot beating anybody at 140 after the cotto fight,it was a brutal war and cotto did him away via 7th round ko but both of them had been put or there ass he is fighting undefeated mike arnaoutis who has a record of 17-0-2 9ko,s hopefully he will beat him then get another shot at a world title.
and for every one that missed the fight against cotto hears a link to it.

Witter is a poser.. Who seems more concerned with his haircut.. and his style in the ring than actually boxing.. That fencing stance he does is just plain retarded.. Koltenick got Jobbed by the home town judges .. he schooled Witter once he figured out his style.. Colin Lynes also got Jobbed.. Witter is vunerable to fighters who throw good straights.. therefore Cotto would fuck him up bad .. hatton would maul Witter.. and even Torres (although I have only seen him VS cotto) would Put a serious hurt on Witter.. Witter is another of those guys that has lots of Physical gifts.. But no Brain to back it up...
Oh I'd definately pick Cotto and Hatton to beat Witter, but not Torres, Torres isn't smart enough to figure out Witter. Cotto and Hatton are smart fighters though.
IMO, Cotto could have lost that fight if there was a different ref. Cotto was really hurt, and if the ref would have stopped it, he would've had his first lost. Good thing they let the fight go for some more action.
Witter would be far too crafty and would quite possibly KO Torres fairly early. Witter is one of the craftiest fighters in the business and can hit far harder than his record indicates.
M'Baye would probably be too quick for Torres, though French fighters often aren't the most predictable of pugilists.
Hatton would probably give Torres a sustained beating, but would take a few hard shots (probably not as many as Cotto though).
Torres vs Mighty Mike would either end in a Torres KO or a wide UD for Arnaoutis.

Torres Cotto was an exciting fight.. And I have been wondering what happened to Torres since.. Glad to see he is fighting.. and I think he could give any 140lber fits.. and maybe even win one of the trinkets.. the man can punch
That loss to Cotto was probably the best thing that could have happened to Torres. Let me explain. He took that fight on short notice and almost pulled it off. He can learn from this and use this loss as motivation.:boxing:
i really think he could beat some good well known and even great fighters at 140 such as lazacano, ben rebah, and i think he would take maussa by easy ko because he hits as hard as maybe even harder than cotto and cotto ko,d him easy and i would love to see him fight paulie malinaggi
plus, given the fact that torres was a late sub for the then injured gianluca branco... imagine what torres could have done if he is really conditioned to fight cotto...
That goes both ways...cotto trained for a completely diffrent fighter than Torres.
torres is a proven deadly puncher by being able to hurt cotto several times in their fight and even knocking cotto down... plus, given the fact that torres was a late sub for the then injured gianluca branco... imagine what torres could have done if he is really conditioned to fight cotto...
Torres fough his first fight in US against Cotto. As well as it was a replacment so he got it in a short notice because Branco coupld fight that night.
But its good thing he took the fight even if its a loss because then he would be faster in Americia than if he would have stayed and build an undeafted rep in Coloumbia
Hes a dangerous puncher because he has quick hands.Its yet to be seen though,what kind of fighter he will really be.Theres been plenty,PLENTY of big punchers that didnt amount to much.Randall bailey comes to mind... So theres no use in getting too worked up about him yet.
Besides,Mike Arnoutis is a very dangerous opponent for him.Im picking mike in the fight actually,hes shown more skill,and Ive seen more of his fights so I have more to judge by.Hes also definetly beat better competition.
great matchup though,and if Torres does win(in UNcontroversial manner) I'll be a believer ( :banana: )
