People don't seem to understand. You underrate Cotto's boxing skills because he is big and strong and not flashy. Then when you see him box like he did against N'Dou and Mosley you think he is running. But on both occasions he was hitting the other guys with plenty of solid punches while moving back.
That's many keep picking against Cotto everytime and keep being wrong.
i agree,hes so big and strong and can box great aswell when he needs to,i cant see clottey beating him at all
Calzaghe is way overrated. He has yet to beat an elite boxer. How is he rated in the top 2 or 3 p4p? What has he done? I mean if he is so good, why hasn't he fought a great fighter. Kessler is the best he's fought and Kessler is barely an above average boxer. I'm not saying that Calzaghe is bad, but one of the best p4p? I don't think he belongs in the top 10 even. If he gets into the ring with Hopkins, Pavlik, Taylor, or Wright and beats either one of them, than he belongs, otherwise, he is way too overrated.
so kessler is the best he has fought,which means hes better than hopkins?
Just watched the HBO version of Pac-Cotto for the first time and caught this.

Was just funny... and a typo is "taylo's" instead of "taylor's", not talking about the wrong person altogether.
wow someone went too school
heres a tip-try talking about boxing,you will have more posts and people might give a **** about what you say
Just a little ribbing, no need to get all upset. Sheesh, internet feelings. Don't catch 'em.
haha just messing with ya man,learn too take things less seriously
calzaghe of a couple years ago...look at who joe was fighting acouple years ago, man looking good against second tier fighters!
imo lacy woops calzaghes ass two years ago and definitly now.
kesslers the only one after calzaghe and its hard for me to rate these guys because of all the second rate euros they fight.. i mean would you want to see a marcus beyer/lacy fight? no.but things can change in a year. a taylor/lacy or hopkins after he looses/lacy...whoa.
damn steelhead,i thought you were smart
At first glance, I figured a match between he and Mikkel Kessler was compelling......but not after I saw what he did to pemberton tonight.
I realize Pemberton might not be in the same leauge as Kessler.....but simply being a tall rangy super middleweight will not cut it against Lacy.
If they fought, I think it would be one sided.
I initially said Lacy would pound out a decision win over Kessler....but now I think he will simply knock him out in the early rounds.
Along with Calzaghe.
Joe stands virtually no chance against this monster.
In fact, I think everyone short of Cruiserweight would lose.
Tarver, Johnson, Hopkins, Taylor,
all of them. Forgettaboutit. I'm not kidding either.
this thread just popped up i had to have a glance.
i cant believe people actually thought this
Even cats who picked Joe C couldn't have seen that big an ass whoopin comin.
ye i agree i thought it would be a very tough night for joe,i bought into the lacy hype i suppose
There is a term that is censored on this forum....but I will re-phrase it. It's called Eurogarbage. You see the guy in my avatar? He is the exception along with Lennox Lewis in not being classified in that way....because of their wins over quality opposition who fought in the United States of America.
Toney: "You're sloppy boy. You're European"
Says it all. Britain should stick to Cricket......for real.
On a general level....Hatton is semi acceptable having beaten a washed up fighter in Tszyu.....but when he faces a guy like PBF or Cotto. Forget about it.
hahaha what a thread to bump,look at the s**t spewing out of this guys mouth
The dude you quote has made so many classics that made me LOL, specially about how Lacy would knock out JC and could probably beat anyone ranging from Trinidad, Hopkins, Jones..
haha for real? what a fool
Kessler will school him, and without Amir Khan on the undercard and a 15-fight undercard there won't be more than 5,000 people there
kessler all the way .
I agree Kessler will school Cal. :D
Kessler by wide UD, if JC survives the KD's.
Calzaghe will find out he has been lied to for 10 years.
Finally we will see him in the ring with an elite. Lets hope Calzaghe won't look like Manfredo in comparison.
damn,people really thought kessler would win
thought they would have learnt after the lacy schooling not to bet against calzaghe
They just carry on like they have always been right in every opinion of theirs lol.
to be fair i cant say much as i also thought tsyzu would win this fight,but never wrote hatton off completely
I was thinking about how all fighters follow Floyd around the ring. None have had significant success.. I think the next fighter to face him should try a new tactic.
Maybe let Floyd come in and try to counter.
1) Do not attack Floyd
2) Do not move foward......let him make the fight on his own
3) keep moving away
4) Only engage Floyd after he comes in and attack using counters or time him when he comes in
Any other ideas?
heres one idea-dont worry about how 2 fight a guy that is RETIRED
