nobodys going to be favored to beat mayweather(pac,martinez,bradley etc).
cotto has to fight and box mayweather, take a page out of the mayweather sosa fight and the burton mayweather fights!!! he has to know he is going to get hit!!!
I look at mayweathers resume and cotto could beat all the guys on his list and vice versa, they have fought four common opponents(Judah,Sosa,mosely,corley) they both were rocked by corley! Cotto stop him the fourth mayweather i think the ninth,cotto stopped Sosa in the fourth mayweather won a decision, judah was stopped in the 11 round by cotto mayweather won 12 decision, cotto 12 decision over mosely same for mayweather.
Cotto is the better puncher and more physical offensive fighter.
Mayweather the quicker faster defensive fighter.
Mayweather had a better corner coming up than cotto did( Floyd senior)
But now I think cotto has the better corner! Roger mayweather sucks has a corner man no instructions at all!!!
I'm a cotto fan and I hope he wins! It's not going to be easy, but that's why you fight the fights in the ring and not on paper.
im rooting for rosado! im from philly i have watch him train and spoken to the kid, very humble and kool cat, ggg is a good fighter but unproven he has a great amateur record and great pro record but who has he fought?
to put things in perspective! my eye balls told me roy jones, floyd mayweather and even broner are great fighters who will have given any fighter hell!!!!
golovkin has alot of flaws and would be a huge under dog against martinez or ward!!! who are great fighters!!!
heres the down side for margarito. the fight against cotto he took alot of punishment, his face was not exactly ready for a photo shoot after that war
incontrast williams had two fights and didnt take any real punishment
you do the math on this one
williams wins this fight marg isnt going to be able to over welm williams with his punch out put. plus his taking more punishment than williams has in his couple of fights not good long term for his career
well i was just running down the list of opponents that tito has fought in order
i don't think cherifi was a great fighter by know means.
i know that 2007 we had a lot of great fights but tell me what fighter has constanly fought the best fighters.
Cotto stated in an interview he was going to make a minimum of 10 million
I will be going to the press conference in new York,
It's good to see cotto investing wisely he will be one of the few fighters who will be able to sustain his lifestyle after his done fighting!
He as beaten guys with winning records by no means world beaters but journey types. Silva I guess would be his best win! Najera his 2nd best win!
To me has look disappointing in the silva and the fight after!
This last fight he looked very sharp and quick now it wasn't a world beater by any means but this was a confidence builder.
A fight against Felix would provide Verdejo with a harder fight and ultimately that's what I want to see!
Good for cotto to enjoyed his last couple of training camps!
This is the fight I will be watching the other fight will be watch on some stream or somebody will repost it somewhere!
That fight is a scam but kudos to Floyd and McGee for for making that money on that fight, as they say there a sucker born every minute
Not for nothing, but as Roach noted in the 24/7 from 2009, that Cotto was ripe for the taking, unprepared for an ATG some he was training himself.
I wouldn't put much stock in that fight as it relatesto this fight since they fight different and Serg isn't anywhere near the speed of Prime Pac
Cotto is in for a tough fight, Martinez is the bigger fighter seems to have good pop and is quick!!! Now he has not fought in a year and for what I read he hasn't done a lot of sparring or road work so he doesn't risk hurting his shoulder or knee! This will be martinez best opponent since the Williams fight! Odds are 2-1? I smell upset!
The guy's name is tuts. You're not talking to a person who thinks clearly.
Let's not talk about names, mr golden boy please! Unless your Oscar? Otherwise your living in fantasy land as a kid!!
To say Lucas is a master at distance is crazy!!! When I think of masters look to Duran or Chavez sr!! Lucas reaches a lot throws punches that knock his balance completely off!! Lucas can punch but I think it's overrated as Alexander stated! Other then Peterson what other proven top contender has he knock out? Cunningham stated Devon was serverly weight in his fight with Lucas as that was his last fight at 140!
for people to say that cotto fought the perfect fight that was far from it. if any thing he fought the wrong fight all you have to do is look at the p. willams fight and the clottey to see the strategy they implored and had success.
1. staying off the ropes ( hes no mayweather who could sit on the ropes all day and youll be lucky to catch him clean)
2.no clinching
3.way to much bouncing instead of side stepping
4. body to square up easier for magaritos body punching.
now i give magarito alot credit he fought a great fight he imposed his will on cotto and he studied cotto very well, he knew cotto habits and waited and exploited them (especially against the ropes) thats called watching tons of video tapes. something cotto needs to seriously consider if he is to progress has a fighter
im reminded of something larry merchant says(theres not a horse that cant be rode and theres not a rider who cant be thrown)
but in my opinion chavez came the closes to not being thrown in my lifetime (prime chavez)
Hey puerto Rico is at a down time as far as champions and that's ok, it's like baseball the Yankees don't win the championship every year do they? And as far as the whole puerto Rico or Mexican bashing going on these forums reminds me of being in grade school and the kids were going back and forth with your mama jokes. Hopefully I'm not wasting my time and I'm dealing with a bunch of grade school kids! On that note congrats to cotto for the honor!
bitch u da clown....i bet ur uncle raped u when u were young..bitch ass stupid cunt...lol...fukkin stupid ****!! lol...get off the hood punk..ull get killed because of sheer stupidity!! lmfao...:boxing: computer muscles,. ur still a bitch dog and always will be one thats why you defend pac man so much because he gives hope:luvbed:. again lmao!!!!
Golden boy is now going to build up Danny Garcia, but they wanted him to lose to morales the first time and to khan when that didn't happen and the way Danny Garcia closed the show his last two fights! There going to brand his name!!! It's a good call to have him fight Zab! High profile name fight in New York! It also makes sense to take Danny to Puerto Rico and try and get the island to embrace him!!
He is doing what he is suppose to do against suspect opposition, mayweather fought the best fighters at 130 and 135 manfredy Castillo coralles Hernandez. Big difference!!!
I was at the press conference today, the fans were wild alot of thrash talking going on!!! 50 cent was cool he was mocking the cotto fans, sign some autographs, we got on him about cotto!!! The Enviroment had me pumped!!!
Cotto is going to shock the world!!!!
if you look at mayweather when he was at 130 how fast he was and how active he was now he is at 147 he has slowed down not as active a little slower along with ever other fighter in this world that moves up in weight and gets older(duran,chavez,withaker) but pac man is the exception kinda strange
jeez that sucks but this kid needs to go back to the fundamentals, there shouldn't be a rush take your time and get as many fights as you need to help you develop. not every one can win a world title at a young age.
Funny thing everybody talks about the punishment cotto took against magacheato, but he took so much punishment in that fight he was never the same, got stopped by Mosley, suspended a year fought one fight got a win then got beat by PAC man, got beat up by cotto now has fights and looks awful!
cotto won't fight Margarito. Cotto fought the fight he needed to and still got severly beaten. Cotto needs to concentrate on other fights to rebuild his career. And yeah to all the haters. We are still celebrating. This was a huge win. You guys would be doing the same. Tijuana Tornado is # 1.
actually paul williams is number one, both are champs, but one champ beat the other.
perhaps you are looking at it now but it's just hard for you to believe because it's far greater than your expectation. you maybe right about that. but you cant rule anything out, you know the old saying when it seems to good to be true .......
