people get celeb "icons" tattooed all the time. Theres probably a million people out there with a johnny cash tattoo..
If theres a way to make it look good, and he means a lot to you, then why not.
As much as i love Cotto (and i do think he's much better today than many of his critics give him credit for) i think we have to admit that his win over Martinez is as meaningful as Floyds win over Mosley.
With that said, it is not fair to judge Cotto compared to middleweights. He's a relatively small 154, and i credit him for moving up to 160 and taking the shot.
Would he beat GGG? No, absolutely not. But i doubt anyone at 154 (including Floyd) would.
Cotto will be a clearcut HOF fighter and he has had a very good career.
I don't think Floyd underestimated him necessarily. I just think that every time someone is even remotely competitive and dish out some damage on Floyd we tend to go way overboard with it.
Broner is just not a very good fighter. He is much closer to a Zab Judah than to a Floyd Mayweather when it comes to hype compared to ability.
No one would have been able to say he avoided him if he fought him. So yes.
The biggest detriment to Floyds legacy are the arguments that he's been avoiding some of his toughest opponent (whether that is true or not is up for debate).
obviously hopkins, but from the large casual sportsfan crowd i don't know.
The majority probably still feels Mike Tyson is greater than Joe Louis. That is if they even know who Joe Louis is at all.
Froch is a decent candidate. I'm not really rooting for him yet, but i don't dislike him like i used to.
If his twat for a girlfriend could just stfu, i might even cheer for him.
thats pretty sad for a country with so many fighters.
Whats even more sad is that two of those mentioned are among the biggest cherry pickers in the sport.
Man.. uk boxing really gone downhill.
ye cotto is man enough to tell Arum and Pac to go **** themselves for trying to force him down. But hes going to agree to some "off the table supersecret" catchweight against Floyd?
Wow at this ****.
Pacquiao vs Cotto, 2lbs
Pacquiao vs Margarito 4lbs
Pacquiao vs Marquez 3lbs
Mayweather vs Marquez 3lbs + 2lbs penalty for ignoring it.
Mayweather vs Cotto 4lbs
Have em even about now.
I think Hopkins could have both of them beat though.
its not going to be a catchweight.
also jabs do count.
He will get stopped, and the sad thing is he will be running from mayweather like mosley was, but his chin, stamina, and skin are not nearly as strong.
I don't doubt Floyd could stop Cotto, he just doesn't press it enough to do so.
Look at how he eased off on Mosley.
No fukin losers in this fight AT ALL
two warriors gave the fans an outstanding fight for Cinco De Mayo
Props to Mayweather, never thought he was going to stand and trade with Cotto, that is DANGEROUS! But he did it and he made the fight exciting by trading and throwing more punches
great post
Cinnamon aint ish...I got bread on his head!!...Lara starches him!!...tell the Cuban to collect this bounty!!....Shane all day...still my man!!
You know damn well Lara is not getting a decision over Canelo. The suits won't let that happen.
Doubt he will knock him out.
116-112 for Floyd Mayweather.
Really good fight, Cotto did more hurt on Floyd than anyone else in recent years except for that isolated right hook by Shane.
What will happen?
jabs will not count for the Bradley fight. I think it's going to be a stipulation in the contract (or possibly just being agreed upon secretly, you know, just a fact)
