Excellent post Icata.It's not about Roach changing the rules,it's about a known cheater following the rules.Miguel Cotto is a good fighter,but also a known cheater.He's not ashamed of it either.That's not an honorable way to win a fight.That's not an honorable champion period.Fans should be offended when their favorite fighter has to cheat to win.- A classic example to me is Lennox Lewis vs Bruno & Grant.In the Bruno fight Lewis was allowed to post the guy w one arm & hit with the other!And win w that bullcrap!!CLEARLY CHEATING!-In the Grant fight, ref Mercante allowed Lewis to hit & hold til he got Grant w an illegal uppercut!!!Folks that's not boxing or great skill.Its CHEATING damnit!!!Boxers need to be called out on their crap.This is a sport not the street.Lastly,I hate when commentators keep saying "rough house tackticks" as if that's just part of the rules of the sport.No its still just cheating!!!!!
Miguel cotto does cheat!!!Are some of you people blind?The judah fight is a prime example.His predessesor Felix Trinidad was the same exact way.What's wrong with a trainer looking out for his fighter against an opponent who's known to cheat win in trouble?Yeah,Cotto's good but he does cheat!
