Floyd Not Impressed With Miguel Cotto

[The Troll]

So why did Torres knock him down and Corley have him wobbled? Torrest took the fight on very short notice and Corley has average power.

Cotto's chin is fine. Especially if your talking about him fighting Mayweather.

Haha I agree with that. It's crazy how biased, ecstatic, impressionable, and ignorant the general population here is when it comes to boxing. They always scream at the top of their lungs whenever the PR fighter moves his hands even in the slightest way. This was especially true with Tito. It got so bad that I had to quit watching fights in public places cuz I got pissed. In the Hopkins and Winky fights, I swear they still screamed like crazy when Tito moved his hands in the 12th round. Amazing ****. In the BHop fight they said **** like "HE'S RUNNING!!! HE'S SCARED!!!" in like the 10th round.

Yeah what idiots cheering for Tito. He was only one of the best fighters of the last decade.

He wasn't as good when he fought Hopkins and Wright as when he was younger.

taking punches to the body from a hitter like Cotto is entirely different story. And Cotto is a much more agressive fighter than Judah. Better fighter than Judah. Judah is a 3 to 1 underdog against Cotto.

And stop matching floyd against these technical boxer guys. The one to beat him will be an agressive guy like Cotto who contrary to popular belief actually does have boxing skills.

Cotto is a one handed fighter...Mayweather would easily beat Cotto... How can Cotto trap Mayweather when he only has three punches and they all involve his left hand? Cotto may beat Judah and that is a big "maybe" Because cotto like mayweather has trouble against southpaws, don't be surprised if zab knocks cotto out in 3 rounds or less...

the last 2 guys he fought were southpaws one was a KO 5 the other was a wide UD against an underrated opponent that nobody knows because all his fights are in Germany. And he's not just a walking left hook.

but we are talking about a guy that can take a punch. baldomir took straight shots from Judah, a verified hard hitter. but he stood tall and kept fighting. Baldomir is tough enough to take Cotto's punches and deliver his own. Would Cotto stand up?

am i talking about a different guy or something? this is the durable, straight forward carlos baldomir with a pretty good right hand and a lot of determination right? the guy who has gained attention due to a couple of fighters having a knack for mental lapses and another one being out of his league?

miguel cotto's track record for beating fighters has been entirely different than zab judahs. cotto throws those heavy handed hooks and straights, and physically ruins his opponents bodies. look at abdullaev, sosa, quintana, bazan, torres, branco, etc etc. those guys were assaulted until they couldn't physically take any more punishment. judah has the good power, with the speed that snakes you. who is the last guy that judah stopped because his punches physically damaged them to the point they couldn't continue? judah hit baldomir with some good punches, but he folded after carlos showed he was going nowhere. cotto doesn't exactly do that.

cotto went the whole fight with abdullaev without *noticeably* hurting him, but his punches still had a drastic effect on the fight. i think that would be a possible conclusion in a fight with baldomir. the difference in skill is apparent, and cotto has shown that he can outbox guys who are not willing to go away on several occasions.

and would cotto stand up? he hasn't done anything but that in the past...he's proven that he's a man and can recover from being hurt. that's a lot more than an average fighter can say.

[No-mas-tias]

LOL at Floyd fans repeating what he preaches. Floyd said Cotto was a 1 handed fighter and they just take it as a fact. Cotto can punch with both hands, the left hook is just his finishing punch.

[Xcel]

He'a faster than Castillo. Younger than Castillo. Bigger than Castillo, more accurate than Castillo, hits harder than Castillo. Goes to the body better than Castillo, has a better workrate than Castillo.

and a weaker chin than Castillo. also wasnt Castillo demolished the in the second fight with Floyd?

but look who hurt Cotto. Torres and Corley. Torres took that fight on a few weeks notice. It says more about him than Cotto. And Corley was winning their fight before the early stoppage.

i give Cotto his props, he destroyed his last opponent in about half a round, but against a top tier fighter like Floyd he would literally get dismantled.

Cotto's chin is fine. Especially if your talking about him fighting Mayweather.

So are you saying that Corley hits harder than Floyd?

Cotto has improved with the right hand. He used the right hand very effectively against Quintana in my opinion, as well as against Torres. That picture perfect counter right cross he landed against Torres to make him lean back and drop to the canvas in the 6th(?) was a testament to his improving right. Not to say this would play into a possible Mayweather fight because Floyd is lightyears ahead of Torres, but Cotto is not a one handed fighter.

Cotto like Mayweather has trouble with southpaws? I thought everyone has trouble with southpaws...?
