Miguel Cotto: Better than Felix Trinidad?

[yrrej]

Think about it. Trinidad would crush Judah like an ant. Talk about "suspect chins"......

He could be. It's far too early too tell.

Right now, no he's not, but that doesn't mean he couldn't be down the road. Let's see if he can get by Judah first.

'07's a make or break year for cotto, he definately has judah and margarito on his horizon, unless williams plays spoiler in which case i'm sure the cotto camp would jump to for a unification for the WBO, and if he can come out of those fights with 2 W's - i'd consider him elite status.

eh, maybe not elite because you'd have to beat more than a questionable fighter (judah) and a questionable champion (margarito) ... if cotto can also find a way to get in the ring with cintron ...

that'll convert a couple people

i suppose i can't debate the fact that they both seem(ed) to have shaky chins.

I don't know. Cotto is as easy to hit as Tito, but Tito has a better reach. I also think that while both men have suspect chins, C otto is the more suspect of the two.

I have to say that at this stage in his career Trinidad was better. And in his next ten fights he won the Jr Middleweight and Middleweight titles, something I don't really see Cotto doing.

Cotto is good but he's a certain type of fighter. Trinidad was a better boxer with a much better jab.

nah bruh, tito wasn't a better boxer and he didn't have a much better jab - if memory serves me right what tito had was a better left hook upstairs and that sick left hook right cross combo.

at times tito looked as if he had never developed a jab. i'm not saying miguel's better than tito, not that by a long shot, but what happened to tito versus hopkins and winky, that type of demolition would likely not happen to cotto.

Tito was hungrier at the same stage of his career, DK had the balls to match him up against all the other elites at that time also. However, Tito wrote his career Miguel hasn't finished his.

[yrrej]

No.........not in your dreams.

[Phantasm]

Cool vid, but the answer is no. Still too early to say Cotto is better than Tito. Tito was arguably one of the top 10 Welterweights of all time.
