Cotto targets Hatton

[baya]

I'd say that Hattons way stronger than Cotto!

Hatton out roughed a very strong Tackie, even Tszyu(very strong himself) didnt want to test his strength against that guy!!

And remember the Ndou fight, Ndou's strength give Cotto a lot of trouble.

It was hardly N'Dou's strength that gave Cotto trouble. It was his toughness and awkward brawling that gave Cotto the most trouble. Cotto was never hurt by N'Dou...I think he was surprised by a punch or two...but never hurt or in trouble.

That being said, Cotto is much more powerful than Hatton. We'll see Cotto easily carry his power all the way up to 160.

Wasn't he lined up to fight Pinto but he backed out at the last minute for no reason?

I believe that the fight was set but a week prior to the fight Pinto has to cancell becuase he said he had a stomach virus.

[J !]

i was supposed to be at the pinto fight but there were various excuses a virus, his immanent birth of his child etc etc anyway he didnt turn up.

Right lets ge this straight to date Cotto and Hatton have fought similar level opponents, Ndou = Tackie , sosa does NOT wash he is a lightweight you cant slag hartton off for taking on Rios / pederson then quote Sosa as a decent opponent.
By the way the latest match up is a ****ing disgrace, Bailey is shot to peices they should be ashamed, Oliveria is a better match than bailey. Im disgusted with Cotto management for sticking him with a guy who has lost 3 of his last six and managed to win 3 agianst no hopers witha combined record 2-4-1 / 60-247-15 / AND 12-42-1 .

so that makes 72 wins vs 300 odd defeats some form huh.

IT SUX!

Pinto is pretty much an unknown quantity having boxed in Brazil for most his pro career and he looked very defensively open to me when he fought Cotto, not taking anything away form Cotto's performance.


Cotto is undoutedly the bigger puncher out of the two but likes to fight at his own pace, hatton would not let him do that.

Cotto is also very left hand happy, due to the ****ed up right arm he suffered in a car crash and i mean ****ed up. Broke in several places and had several operations so there is no way he hiuts as hard with his right as he does left.

He doesnt uyse his right very much in actual fact probably 2-1 ratio, this might leave him in trouble agianst the top tier.

His qualities are there for all to see his deficiences may be more subtle.

Both are at a similar level difference being Miguel has got there quicker its a 50/50 fight in my opinion, different styles and i reckon coudl be candidate for fight of the year.

One things for sure if it does happen ill be ringside, wherever in the world its happening.

Who's the guy with the 247 losses?

If Cotto's got no right, it nullifies Hatton's major weakness too.

[J !]

frankie rindell or similar who ****ing cares he has 247 losses i know i have knowledge but im not an encyclopedia! i know this cos i looke dit up a while ago.

cotto has no right hand to mention it serves its purpose thats all, trust me.

in fact if you dont trust me look up "miguel cotto car crash" then you will trust me.

problem with most folk at times is they cant be bothered to do the research and im not talking hearsay, take time to educate opinions not just spout off.

take on the the false and the facts and make a decision njot just spout off. its a lot like some folk caliing Danny a bum, **** me he has never been a bum. In fact 99% of boxers who get themselves in shape are not bums. Even Gerard london who has not boxing abiulity at all but is fit and tries hard is not a bum.
folk need to show more repsect to fighters its ****ing hard game this.

then you get...............
"cotto is the next suger ray!!!" cos the watch him beat up justin juuko, annoys the **** out of me.
cos i spend 15 hours plus a week a researching, reading and finding out. I understand that most people dont have that time or will to do so, but i have so be sure of you r facts b4 you take me on!!!!

not aimed at you frank by thew way just a random rant!

[Cletus Funk]

not aimed at you frank by thew way just a random rant!
