Whats the purpose of taking on daddys little girl. All this at a time when he can possibly make a fight happen between himself and either Williams or Martinez in a fight that would mean something.
Really can't see Cotto beating either of those guys, especially at this stage in his career. wrong question.
he'd get his a$$ kicked by them both....wrong question.
cotto loses to both..badleywrong question.
Cotto would get anal raped by Paul Williams.wrong question.
Quintana is a southpaw who used alot of movement and outboxed Paul, different style than Cotto. Cotto has never looked good against a tough, pressure, volume puncher. He can definitely outbox Paul and work his body early on but I seriously doubt he would be able to keep it up for all 12.
The one key punch is a Cotto-WIlliams figth for cotto would be his bodyshots. Depending on the success cotto ha with landing the bodyshots would determine the outcome of the fight imo.
Before the foreman fight, people were saying foreman is too tall, hes got too much reach, after cotto beat him, there critising cotto for fighting JCC jr.
That same choke artist had Cotto running around the ring and won the fight in a lot of people's opinions while fighting with an ankle injury after Cotto body slammed him WWE style.
Cotto fought with a huge cut on his eye, but still manage to win the fight. Clottey fades at the end and don't bring it on when he needs to bring it. He did the same thing in the Pac fight, he was there for a pay day, not to win a fight.:boxing:
Of course thats what he wants to hear, topic creator hates Cotto with a passion but loves a choke-artist and a fighter whos afraid to engage like Clottey.

Branco and Malinaggi. And a couple of other instances after he won a title. But what I meant was if he fought Foreman and Chavez Jr. that would be 2 b-level guys in a row when he has a title in a deep division. You don't see something wrong with that?
No not really because Malignaggi and Foreman arent bums just guys who have a style suited for a fighter like Cotto. When you fight guys like Mosley,Judah,Clottey,Margarito,Pac a tune up or stay busy fight in between shouldnt be criticized like a fighter who constantly fights guys who have no chance at winning.
What were the 2 easy fights in a row?

Uuuuh, yeah somewhat I guess. If you want to include the bums he's fought sandwiched in between top five fighters. He's never went after the #1 ranked guy in any division though to try to gain a legitimate championship. So how you can you say he's fought the best when you really look at it. And two easy fights in a row is suspect.
You know anything about boxing??
Cotto has never backed down, hes fought whoever theyve put infront of him. Mosley, Margarito, Pacquiao, its not cotto'sfault that he aitn fough mayweather

You dont think Cotto has fought the best?

I actually agree with this thread. If not one of them, at least fight Angulo. Cotto has made good paydays fighting the tune ups he's fought. So fighting the best shouldn't be a problem. He's got a world title doesn't he? So why don't you guys demand that he fight the best? Instead of giving us this bullshit, oh he's fought the best Welters of this era.
