Joe Louis let his promoter do all the talking and select his opponents.
So what? Arum also never wanted Floyd for Cotto. He insults Floyd, he fraudulently advertises his fighters but never proposes money for Cotto, even ridiculous $8m. Prove me wrong.
^^^^^
Idiot alert!
Another poster calling Miguel Cotto a coward!
Incredible!
Cotto nuthuggers alert!
I'm asking about the example from history, not your opinion on Cotto.
The only thing that makes this fight interesting is because Margarito has the best workrate in the sport
Castillo threw more than 1000 punches in Johnston rematch.
u are a Cotto hater or u aint got a clue what your watching if u think Cotto is on the same level as Paul Williams
u are a cotto hugger with his nutts in your eyes or simply aint got a brain if u r argiung against smth I never told
Margarito just becomes another hyped up fighter.
He is right on the Clottey and Williams level. Good, but nothing exceptional.
:bottle: :owned:
No, he isn't. He is actually a good fighter.
Yes, he is. Being good fighter doesn't make him something special. Could you admit the same hype if Cotto fought Wiiliams or Clottey?
I'm still trying to figure out why in the hell Cotto is fighting this guy from a business, career, and legacy standpoint. If it doesn't look good as a win 6 months from now it sure as shit won't look good as a win 25 years from now. In terms of risk versus reward it's borderline ludicrious. Especially considering Cotto is already a bonafide star.
Cause he hasn't a $750K clause and Arum can't make more lucrative fight for him.
Cotto once said that Tony lost his opportunity to fight him when he chose to fight Williams instead and lost. He definitely didn't want to fight him, but he suddenly became the hostage of his "I'll fight anyone put in front of me". Just like Tony was the most feared man... suddenly not by Williams.
If Cotto wins convincingly, Margarito just becomes another hyped up fighter.
Isn't he is already? He is right on the Clottey and Williams level. Good, but nothing exceptional.
In first Castillo fight Floyd started to trade in the last 4 rounds, going to the head while Castillo was going to the body. Those bodypunvhes looked hard, but Floyd contined to make effort with his own punches. Gosh, that was tough.
all you can say about hatton, if you think he can beat mayweather or cotto or can't - is that the guy is GREAT for the sport.
his penchant to recognize what the fans want, like addi alluded to, will just make him more of a rich man in the long run, and remembered like THAT GUY who just wanted to be the BEST at his job.
can't fight it any longer, fukk it, i'm turning into a fan.
When I heard De La Hoya was going to fight Winky after PBF, I couldn't believe he was SOOOOOOO gracious to fans.
Couldn't fight any longer, decided to go for De La Hoya in the Floyd's fight.
Now Winky is forgotten. On the contrary, much smaller Hatton arises and even rumours about Pacman arise.
But I still believe Oscar! And Hatton, too!
Am I delusional? :owned:
Didnt he say he would do fights the fans love?Honestly who wants to see Cotto-Margaritto?
I would, but I have it already on the disk :)
I can re-watch it any time for free :)
LOL
i can't understand why floyd is fighting a worn out fighter like dela hoya.
why can't he fight margarito or cotto?
Cause Arum never proposed fight with Cotto and proposed ridiculous money for Margarito.
Yessssssssss!
Mayweather is further removing himself from his #1 pound for pound ranking.
Can't understand your happiness, Cotto is not coming there cowardly following his promoter's choice unstead of the best fights :owned:
Why does some people just assumed Mayweather doesnt or wouldnt want to fight Cotto?
Because of bad relation's with his ex-boss Arum, because PBF has much to loose - fighter is just as good as his last fight, because boxing needs Cotto more than PBF, so Floyd barely can win Cotto on points... But he can't KO Cotto either, it's KOtto who can pull out KO victory.
OMG someone still believe Hatton has chances against Cotto... His style is all about physical advantage, he was unable even to beat Collazo decisevely...
I don't think Hatton would face Cotto, it's like Oscar stating he'll fight Winky after Floyd. He didn't. He just wanted judges to favour him so allowing the boxing industry not to lose another megafight.
PBF, on the other hand, stated he'd retire after Oscar, but he didn't.
They rarely do what they tell :nonono:
I would LOVE to see Cotto in with the other top guys, Gomez isn't that bad and its part of the business in boxing.
:nonono:
Gomez is not a top guy. And Urkhal wasn't too irrespective of what the authour says. If I claim that Brusseles was a top guy when FMM beat him, would you believe me?
I hope Berto won't wait as long as Castillejo:
ODLH-Vargas
ODLH-Campas
ODLH-Mosely
Mosely-Wright I
Mosely-Wright II
Stop, did I say "I hope"? Actually, I don't care.
Rematch will ruin Cotto (if he is not ruined already).
First of all, Cotto had no workable gameplan. He was absolutely wrong with going to the ropes cause Tony never fades during his onslaught. Cotto also wanted 8 ounces altough he could insist on 10 ounces and NSAC would back him and not change their rules.
The truth: Cotto is simply dumb. All the observers praising his ring intelligence were blind.
He had to stay in the middle and use legs more. He had not to wait on the ropes for openings that never come, but to attack himself and use roughhose tactics - yeah, a bit of wrestling - everything to disrupt Tony's rithm.
But I don't believe he can do that, his footwork is no way Floyd's or Hop's one, he lacks raw power to wrestle competitively with Tony. He was no better than old Mosely in this department. And he lacks stamina for both working first and wrestling.
Bye, glamurous brutal boy.
but there was that one fight were he injured his hand and he said he couldnt go on and then they went to the score cards...cant remember who that was against though?
You seem to know very little about it...
If fighter refuses to continue due to injury, no score cards - he loses TKO unless the injury is due to the opponent's foul (or mutual such as a headbutt). I don't remember anyone fouling on Mayweather resulting in a broken hand... Although Hatton can pioneer that area... His wrestling skills are incredible :dead1:
PBF injured his hand against Carlos Hernandez, but he went the distance reverting stance...
:owned:
