This is Nothing even remotely CLOSE to disgraceful or pathetic.
This all makes complete sense.
First of all, IT IS A TUNEUP FIGHT. They arent promoting COTTO-GOMEZ like did for COTTO-JUDAH or COTTO-MOSLEY. Instead this is going to be promoted as a MARGARITO-COTTO double header. Its highly likely that Gomez's face does not even appear on the poster.
The only reason this fight is being made, is to promote the COTTO-MARGARITO superfight (sorta) while making money and pleasing the fans in the process.
Would you rather sit and wait until june to see Cotto and Margarito fight again, or would u rather see them both in tune up fights on the same night, against very good competition???
Gomez and Judah are top 10 worthy Welterweights in terms or talent. Cotto and Marg on different levels then their respective opponents, but thats not their faults...
This whole thing has been blown way outta proportion. Guys like C.Y. and Sonofisis really have no idea what they are talking about. This is a process. Its not replacing a DLH or Mayweather fight, the Margarito fight is the one doing that.
PS: Gomez has a fanbase that reaches into the casual fan and mainstream fan, people who watched the contender. Its not a significant amount of people, but its an important group of fans. Cotto beating Gomez makes even more of a star
I think its cause loads of people say he has a better resume than floyd and could beat him and then he takes a fight agaisnt sum1 whos biggest win was over a shot-to-shit gatti
The only way Cotto will get credit for beating Marg is if he stops him. If it goes to decision than everyone will be screaming "Paul Williams ALREADY beat him" when discussing Cotto's resume.
It will be a good fight. Gomez is tough and comes to fight and he is also ruthless, he showed that against Gatti, gave him no mercy. Cotto is above his class but this will provide entertainment.
People who make Gomez out to be some great challenger who would KO Hatton and Baldomir do annoy me though but I guess some people feel the need to discredit Floyd's achievements at every chance.
Commonman!
Cotto has a weaker chin that Zab, he got rocked cinstantly when they met and cotto has been rocked earlier in his career too by just normal shots.
It comes down to a difference of opinion I guess. The record will show that Judah has been down more and stopped more, and the results of the fight between them is obvious. I think by the end of the year we'll get to see how well both of their chins hold up against hard punching Antonio Margarito. I wouldn't put my money on Zab on that matter either. Zab has a glass jaw and this will be proven again and again.
Barely, he has a good chin. He got hit right on the button by tszyu if thats what your referring to. Obviously a soft chin is a weakness :duh: that is why Cotto isn't anything special.
Zab has been dropped plenty of times besides Tszyu. Light punching Cory Spinks dropped him and light punching Baldomir had him out on his feet. When he traded with Cotto we all know who ended up on the floor. Denying that Judah has a weak chin is denying reality.
Who cares about seeing Cotto beat down Gomez just to beat down Margarito? Cotto-Margarito isn't a big fight at all unless Margarito beats a live body for once in his life. This whole thing is pointless. Oscar must have turned Cotto down, it's the only explanation for these bullshit fights.
Judahs only weakness is that he loses focus late into fights. Margaritos are a weak defence, slow feet and hands and hes never fought anyone with the same speed as zab.
I consider a soft chin a weakness, and Zab's chin is questionable at best.
Of course Cotto could bypass Gomez and go right straight to fighting Floyd.
Oh sorry, floyd and his fans do not want that fight. floyd prefers to hide and beg Oscar for a rematch.
For a person to hate Floyd why do you bring him up in every post you make.
You must think of him on a daily basis:wank:

This thread has nothing to do with Floyd; so why bring him up?...:dunno:
