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

Well every fighter passes through that stage buddy. Nobody get BIG without fighting prospects first.

Nobody with a 15-0 records goes straight to the title holders or the P4P fighters and challenge them right there and then. That's real.

Now if you're not happy that Cotto hasn't fought P4P fighters yet at this point give the guy a chance because he has just started. I'm expecting something to happen this year.

The guy has only 22 fights for Christ sake!

yeah whatever. Big deal if he beats up a prospect that was never good to begin with. I'd rather see what he's made of and see if he can actually beat an experienced vet.

Well that remains to be seen and that's what I'm excited about. As I said he's just starting and he's just passed the "prospect stage". Now he is in a new class, we will find out how far he can go.

Hey fanboy....guess what Cotto has beaten up prospects...that's it. All of there fighters he faced early in his career had ZERO claims to fame. The only fight I've ever been impressed from him is the Abdullaev fight...his claim to fame was "losing" to Clottey in a bout that he was winning. Fair enough. Pinto, Torres, and teh rest....guess what?? All nobodies who had zero names on there resume before the fights with Cotto. After the fights with Cotto they were "tough guys", "good prospects" etc. Please..........

Oh and the fight with Quintana...anyone who had half a brain knew Cotto would win. I saw a 35 second clip of Quintana and knew Cotto would whoop that ass with body shots. It didnt take a genius to figure out that Quintana was a poser like Collazo with a 'slick' style but not much actual skills.

So yeah, I'll holler at you when Margarito beats up Cotto. Peace.

Bazan beat a prime Stevie Johnston. You only read what your sensitive mind can handle huh? Guess what jackass....prospects traditionally don't rack up a bunch of solid names...that's why they are PROSPECTS. Nobody knew a ****ing thing about Ricardo Torres except he had this gaudy KO record. Guess what...he comes back and takes a decision over Mike Arnauotis. Obviously he isn't a nobody.

Who did Allan Green ever beat to be known as a great prospect? Who has Andre Berto beaten? See the trend dummy?

You said yourself that N'Dou was a tough guy. You said yourself that Corley was a live opponent. You just don't know what the **** you're talking about at this point.

Nobody cares about what you thought of Quintana. He was a live prospect in the minds of the majority of the boxing media and was a BIG RISK/LOW REWARD step up kind of fight for Cotto. Cotto could have taken on some old bird like Sharmba Mitchell would would have been dead in the water...but he didn't.

Keep reaching though this is funny.

Your sarcasm is hilarious. Is it jealousy or just hate? Hatton beat up Tszyu bad...deal with it boys.

Jealousy of what Smokin, of your boy getting manhandled at WW and Cotto looking a lot better against a way better fighter? Why did Hatton go back down to 140 when all the money is at 147 including his awaited shot at Cotto? He mentioned he wanted his title back, when is he planning on getting it, when Cotto becomes weight drained at 147? Like you said, I'm just being realistic.
And btw, Hatton didn't beat Zoo, he beat an injured shadow of him.

Guess what, gringo? You are consistently wrong in all of your predictions and you only have your know it all self to blame. Let's see who you take for the next months...I cant wait to see your great analysis only to see you consistently wrong time out and time out.

Guess what...I just told you I like to see guys fight experienced vets to prove there worth. Prospects....are just that..prospects. Inexperienced folks who havent experienced it all. Big ****in' deal..

Who did Allan Green ever beat to be known as a prospect? Hmm...maybe that 1 round ko over Codrington who was an olympian. And dont get me started with Berto....that poser is garbage. Only hyped cause his black ass is from the BK. Im sure if he was from Detroit he would be much better though.

And N'dou is a tough cookie....fair enough. He gave Cotto a gould fight and gave just as good as he got in return. And I said Corley was garbage but he is hyped because he is slick and has nice skills...people forget that he is soft as hell and has a light punch along with a real shaky chin. He's a better sparring partner actually hahaha.

**** you gusy at boxing scene bore me. Morons.

Jackass, an old Tsyzu is still a better win then anyone on Mayweather/Cotto's resume. And the manner in which he beat down Tszyu...Classic. It's jealousy.

Its jealousy from your part. Its more dangerous to take on a hot prospect than an over the hill, injured veteran. We don't even want to talk about the way the fights went, classic beatdown? Yep, that's why Hatton's becoming so popular right? Do they have any newspapers where you live, if not check his post fight reviews over the internet. Learn boxing and STFU.

Cotto is a solid fighter, but he is way overrated. Who has he beat? The RING ranking him #10 P4P is a total joke. Cotto needs a big fight to establish where he's really at...

Huh my predictions? Where do I have a history of my fight predictions posted up here>? Generally I throw out predictions for my favorite fighters. So yeah I'll own being wrong about James Toney "beating" Sam Peter, Hopkins "beating" Taylor, and the like. I'd slate those guys to beat pretty much anyone out there..

Who gives a **** what you like to see. That's pretty much all that needs to be said.

Allan Green was a big prospect before that. Much like Codrington and Stevens were...much like Pinto was. They all had great amateur careers.

I'll miss your half-hearted attempts at analyzing Miguel Cotto's career...**********.

[Smokin']

Yeah. It's like this board to hype up every fighter after every big win. It's funny too because 2 fights previous everyone was calling Cotto 'overhyped' and the next 'gatti'. Now, he's the best fighter at 147 and he is going 50/50 with Mayweather. Clueless morons..
