CAN SOMEBODY please tell me why COTTO deserves all this credit????

[psychopath]

Why does Cotto deserves all the credit? This is a bull**** thread and an insult at that.

Cotto has only 28 fights and undefeated and is now the reigning WBA title holder. NOW look at the last 11 fighters he had fought.

Carlos Maussa 17 and 0/TKO 8
Vic Sosa 37 - 3 -2 /TKO 4
L Ndou 38 -6 -1/UD 12
Kelson Pinto 21 - 0/TKO 6
Randal Bailey 28 - 4 - 0/TKO 6
D Corley 29 - 3 - 1/TKO 5
M Abdulaev 15 - 1 - 0/TKO 9
R Torres 28 - 0 -/KO 7
G Branco 36 - 1 - 1/TKO 8
P Malignali 21 - 0/UD 12
c Quintana 23 - 0/RTD 5

DAMN if you're not impressed with the quality of opponents he had fought then you're IGNORANT or simply a hater.

Who's next? It's suppose to be Margarito right? And considering he has only 1 fight at 147 this should tell something on what kind of balls this guy has.

So why ask why he deserves credit?

i am no where near a hater. almost a fan even. I think hes very entertaining and i cant wait to see him fight in the garden.

But all those guys you list are DECENT opponents at best. Some used to be GOOD but they are over the hill now.

He has knocked out or beaten them into impressive fashion, but its not like he has Mayweather or hatton or even Baldomir in front of him.

And yes it takes balls to take on margarito, but i think its gonna be a real test. Ive heard a loooooot of guys say that this fight is gonna be a blowout. Cotto in 6 rounds.

Why? where is the proof that cotto could take out a guy like Margarito so easily? i just dont understand this

Oldgringo once again hits the nail on the head. I agree with you on your thoughts about Cotto. Cotto is a good fighter that's steadily improving with every fight. He's one of the best fighters at throwing short punches on the inside. (I think Corrales is the best at doing that.) Hatton & Cotto's resumes are similar. Besides Tsyzu, Hatton has faced similar opposition. I do think Cotto would stop Hatton because of his strength & his ability to fight on the inside throwing those short devastating punches unlike Urango.

[Run]

You just say so because you are a Cotto fan. Cotto has fought nothing but prospects. Extremely protected, Cotto fans just dont like to admit it. Thats what happens when you have Arum with you.

Cotto has fought more than enough guys with experience.

He outworked Lovemore N'dou, stopped Victoriano Sosa, Cesar Bazan, and Ray Martinez in addition to the prospects that you think are protected.

Those guys aren't protected....at all.

Did I mention that Cotto would take out Marg so easily? You are way out of context dude. What I'm trying to project here is how Cotto came up from an unknown prospect to where he is now through sheer hard work and not through HYPE. When he was 15 and 0, he fought guys who has 21 and 0; 23 and 0; 36 and 1; 28 and 0 records because he wants to prove himself. And he deserves credit for that. Don't you think so? If people can give so much credit to Williams who hasn't accomplished anything in 32 fights how can you question people giving credit to Cotto?

Now Cotto's got a belt and a title and he's ready to mix it up with the BIG NAMES and further prove himself. Results? We will have to wait and see . . . but bottom line is you cannot question why the guy deserves credit. He worked for it.

i never said u did say he would destroy marg. but HOT TOPIC has said it. So have many others on this forumn. I wanna know why. He certainly isnt good enought to destroy margarito.

And of coarse hes worked hard. Anybody who is gonna get to his level is gonna work hard. Everybody in the top 10 p4p has worked their asses off to get to where they are.

Well there you are. Hot Topic said that not me.

I'm giving credit to Cotto because he worked hard to be where he is now. But I won't go further into saying that he'll surely or easilly beat Marg, Hatton and other big names out there. That's not giving credit at all man, that's HYPING.

[oldgringo]

Dude, he is being marketted extremely careful. He has basically been fed prospects like himself his entire career. He hasnt fought any guys who have a wealth of experience even like Hatton who fought dudes like Tackie, Oliviera, Phillips who are PAID to make guys look Bad. Look at that lineup...Branco wasnt very good to begin with he even got beat down by Gatti, Torres was a nobody to begin with and almost starched Cotto, Quintana beat an extremely one dimensional Julio...what else does he have to claim.

Anyway, the whole point is the guys here are overamping on Cotto's results, just like they always do. It's gonna be funny when Cotto is made to look pretty one-dimensional. They are making him seem like he is a wrecking crew when he would still get storched by Hatton, Mayweather, and company (even Margarito, Clottey would give him a good fight, etc.).

Pay attention.

Cotto has fought PLENTY of fighters with what you refer to as a "wealth of experience."

-Lovemore N'Dou has been in with the likes of Mitchell, Witter and he JUST beat down Ben Rabah.
-Vic Sosa had been the distance with Floyd and Spadafora previous to Cotto.
-Corley has fought everyone this side of the Mississippi
-Randall Bailey is an ex-title holder who has been in with a lot of solid fighters
-Cesar Bazan had been in with the best lightweights of the '98-'00 era

I could go on. Discrediting a guy like Ricardo Torres at this point is garbage too because dude just showed he can fight when he hung with Mike Arnaoutis and escaped with the decision. IT's not that Branco is so great...it's that the way Cotto beat him was so great. I have never seen another fighter so VISIBLY physically damaged. Branco got the life knocked out of him...

Cotto has fought a lot of solid prospects and tough VETERAN fighters. Pretty much what Ricky Hatton is working with outside of Tszyu. When Cotto is 8-9 years into his career like Hatton is I bet he will have several very good names on his resume as well.

As for Cotto matching up with Hatton...that'd just be career suicide for Ricky. He couldn't **** with Cotto at 147. His face would look like hamburger if the body shots didn't double him over first.

[2OSouzaSuarez12]

let me break this down the best I can:






















Hatton sucks get over it.

This nig9as just mad because Mosley schooling the guy who beat Hattons ass and got robbed made Hatton look bad. And Cotto having pretty much the same test as Hatton as 147 except against a better opponent in my opinion, Cotto KOd the guy and ruined him impressively and Hatton got his ass kicked and won by a lucky decision. Then Hatton fought the great Urango. As far as Hattons "great" boxing against Urango, hahahahaha. He wasnt that impressive at all and could never box like that against a good fighter. Ben Rabah boxed Urango's socks off and isnt even that good a fighter. Kball is just upset because nobody likes Hatton or his style so he is trying to put down other fighters. Get a life.

Cotto is the man and would kill Hatton. Which is why Hatton ran back to 147.

Cotto hasn't done **** in my book.
