yea its me..im just done being biased..boxing isnt just about 1 fighter..its time we as the fans start appreciatng every aspect of the sport we love
Wow,I'm with Rob,shocked as hell,I am impressed with ur stand!!Being a fan of the sport is much more rewarding than being the main defender of 1 fighter!!
mosley knocked margo down twice and ko'd him..cotto never buckled or fell and beat mosley...i know triangle theorys dont work..but this cotto has a glass chin shit needs to go asap...i think he has a granite chin to be honest..he's never even been knocked down at 147..yea yea yea he took 2 knees against margo,,,but he's never been knocked down by a punch at 147...just something to think about
You make good points.
What ive noticed with Cotto is he can be hurt but he recovers quickly, if you look at the fight where Corley had him tottering up and down you can see by the end of the round that his senses are completely back and he looks fine.
Also, even though Cotto was hurt more than once against Torres i dont think Cotto was ever on the verge of being knocked out.
yea its me..im just done being biased..boxing isnt just about 1 fighter..its time we as the fans start appreciatng every aspect of the sport we love Exact same way i feel. Sometimes we get caught up with our favorite fighters and it bothers us when others criticize our fighters but at the end Cotto, floyd, pacman, mosley are all very good fighters and each will be remembered for good things in boxing. Hoping my boy cotto beats pacman so we can get a Cotto vs Floyd in 2010. Have a nice 4th of july
ha bro it's cause he couldn't see from 1 eye.he didnt see the right coming
I know that but still... he didn't look the same, even in the first 3 rounds. Anyway we agree Cotto does have good defense?

Larry?? You sure this is you. So far lately i have agreed with almost everything you've said last couple of days. I'm a cotto fan but i respect Floyd, pacman, mosley as fighters who have never cheated. I can never respect margarito because he attempted to cheat and don't know how many of his classic wins were by cheating. I just hope that even if cotto loses to pacman, he gets a rematch with margarito to put everything to an end. If cotto ends up getting beat up bad again then i won't say anything about the first fight but if cotto beat margarito, then i'm going to assume margo cheated.
wlad cant ko cotto, but now coming back to reality... Cotto's chin isn't better than margarito's but cotto did have a good defense, he changed his style in the clottey fight and wan't blocking a lot of punches he would have blocked in other fights.

Well, if Mosley faught Cotto like he did Margarito, Cotto would have went down as well. If Mosley would have faught Margarito like he did Cotto, Margarito would have never went down.
I dont like triangle theories though.
Here is something i saw in the fight with clottey. I saw a cotto with a very very good chin, not a granite chin like margo's i was amazed how he took bomb shots from clottey and nothing happen.
It's a lie that he has a glass chin.
this is because Mosley was non steroided in the Cotto fight and re-steroided for the Margo fight (c/o Nasim).
same goes for Hopkins for the Pavlik fight.
lol you really need help.
First of all he fought also in lightmiddleweight division.
Second DE LA HOYA fought for 10 years at welterweight and you
said that he was drained against PACMAN.
Why cant then MARGARITO be drained?
He said he didn't believe in triangle theories, meaning he doesn't think Cotto has a better chin than Marg... but he is right in saying Cotto has a good chin, I wouldn't say granite, but far from glass.
EXCUSE after EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE!
HOYA wasnt weight drained.
And FLOYD SR. said that HOYA beat FLOYD JR. !
So if best trainer of all time said that then FLOYD JR. lost!
Okay, Margarito loses at 147 that he fought at 6 months ago and was weight drained even though his fight night weight was above the limit. Oscar fights at 147 which he hasn't fought at for 7 years and weighed 147 on fight night apart from his usual 160+ and isn't? I smell double standards...
I also find it hilarious how you try to turn it on Floyd when you aint right... Floyd beat DLH, period... the SD was an insult. I also find it funny how you throw out the "Floyd Sr. is the best trainer of all time" shit when it only suits you, if it was in a different argument, you would be bitching saying "Roach is ten times the better trainer than Floyd Sr.".
Whenever somebody makes a good point when debating with you, you just come up with some shit like "EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES!", well if it is such bullshit then why didn't you say anything back to prove him wrong.
Answer me a question, do you really believe;
Margarito who fought at 147 not drained in August and beat Cotto was weight drained 6 months later at the same weight even though his fight night weight was above the limit, I understand him being a little drained...
However, De La Hoya wasn't drained at 147 when he hasn't fought at the weight for 7 years and his fight night weight was 147 instead of the usual 160+?
Which one is it? DLH drained and Margarito not? Both drained? Margarito drained and DLH not?
I want your honest answer please... nothing against you, just curious...
mosley knocked margo down twice and ko'd him..cotto never buckled or fell and beat mosley...i know triangle theorys dont work..but this cotto has a glass chin shit needs to go asap...i think he has a granite chin to be honest..he's never even been knocked down at 147..yea yea yea he took 2 knees against margo,,,but he's never been knocked down by a punch at 147...just something to think about
At 140 he got KD'd cause he wasn't at comfortable at the weight, at 147 he grew into his body more after being that one weight class higher and is able to withstand more punches. The Cotto loss wasn't cause he was hurt as such... he was a combination of hurt, worn down, tired and crumbled under the pressure. There is a difference between that...
I wouldn't say he has a granite chin, but it isn't glass either... IMO he has a descent chin and can hold his own with it... your right larry, the Cotto has a bad chin crap needs to go...
