He answer a lot of questions for me. He fought through being hurt badly, he came back and showed a lot of all around skills.
I thought ZAB was gonna control the fight with his jab, but as soon as i saw Cotto slip 4 or 5 or 6 of Judahs jabs in a row in first round, i knew it was cottos fight.
He just obliterated Judah.
I hoped and wished Cotto was not only extremely entertaining, but very skilled and determined as well. Cotto proved that hes everything i hoped he was with last nights amazing Performance.
Performance of the year so far.
Better then PAVLIK against Miranda, and DIAZ against Freitas
Mosley has been shit ever since he got the shit beaten out of him by Forrest. Oh yeah he won that decision against Oscar afterwards though he shouldn't have. Mosley right now is a fighter with heavy legs, useless jab and is a one punch at a time fighter, who stil digs some good hooks to the body. He's got the better chin but no sane boxing fan should make him the favourite against Cotto.
Your wrong Mosley has looked great at 147lbs since he lost a lot of that weighth lifting mass he had at 154.
Well I was wrong about this fight since I picked Judah to win which he had a chance if he would of threw some damn puches but not taking anything away from Cotto who was very determined and put on a great performance and would give anyone a tough fight in that division.
Good fight and a big win for Cotto.
I was surprised at how the crowd reacted to those jabs. They loved it.
And correct me if im wrong, but Judah rolled those jabs pretty well right? I havent seen the fight on TV yet, but from the stands it looked like he rolled a bunch of them.
Nope the jabs looked perfect on tv,everytime Cotto landed a jab Judah didnt like it,he had a brilliant jab,ive never seen it as good,he should use it like that from now on
He fought well, kball, but your thread title is gay as fuck
lol, who cares...
Cotto is going to run into someone that knows how to finish. If cotto gets hurt against someone like Mosley then it's goodnight Cotto.
Judah knows how to finish... very good finisher. And Mosley-Cotto would be an AMAZING fight.
And Cotto was only getting hurt cause he could'nt see that quick straight left come through and it caught him flush.
As fast as mosley is, he cant hurt Cotto as easily as Judah could because hes not southpaw and hes not as fast handed.
Cotto is a very good fighter. I didn't see the Zab fight yet, but from what I hear Mosley and Floyd(if he becomes active) would both beat Cotto. Cotto-Mosley would be more exciting than Floyd-Cotto.
Floyd would beat Cotto up, but it would be a great night for boxing. Another super fight with garunteed mainstream coverage. AND it would entertaining, as onesided as it could potentially be.
And i would pick Cotto to beat Mosley based off Cottos performance and his whole career.
Was anyone suprised by Cottos perfect jab?

Cotto did very well after the 5th round, he shows his big heart and not over taking control by Zab. I'd like to see him fight the winner or Margo-WIlliams, that would be a great fight too.

And i dunno if Mosley could beat him,Mosleys still great but he takes breaks after the 6th round now that hes older,Fernando Vargas was coming on STRONG in the 1st fight after the 6th,and it was getting close until the stopage because of the eye,and Fernando was shot as shit,i think Cottos too hungry and young and would win a UD

Zabs a great finisher,a real swarmer,if your hurt its hard to get thru Zabs flurrys,Cotto seen the punches and ducked out the way,moved great,i think Cotto is the best today at recovering,hes great at it
Cotto is a good fighter, and he is an entertaining fighter. He is pretty good for boxing at this time, but I still think he would not get past the top of the division. He could beat Margarito probably, but not Williams, Mosley, Mayweather or DLH. I think a fight between him and Clottey would be great and would be FOTY potential.
One thing I like about Cotto is how he always comeback after being hurt. You can hurt him all you want, he'll be back. Hes shown that many times, Cotto definitley has heart and is a true prize fighter.
