Cotto is an upgraded version of Chavez

[Undocumented]

You know! You're right...Vargas was all about the steroids. Boxing is all about making weight and then kickin ass. Stop trying to act like Cotto is a fckin heavyweight. The guy is 5-7 !!!!!!!! Judah looked bigger than Cotto to me.

Maybe at 140lbs...Cotto was 10 15lbs heavier..But NOT at 147. Cut the BS excuses. Admit your real issues with Cotto and Tito.

Haters. If you punch like a *****, and can't phathom Tito's power being natural, than kill yourself for having no power. But don't gossip like a bytch.


It is funny though, you haters must be losing your mind. Everytime you get a new hero to get your lunch money back from Cotto, he knocks his ass out and makes you run back to your hole. Try again and feel the same level of dissapointment again and again til you are forced to acknowledge that Cotto is the real deal. Bring them on...they will be overwhelmed and disfigured one by one.

cotto is an upgraded version of chavez, more power and stronger though, although both have poor defense cotto's is better, he dosent take 4 punches to land one like the overrated julio chavez

Is that really you in the AV? Figures...this thread post is shat.

people been saying Juan Diaz is a "poor-mans Chavez"...only time I hear Chavez' name mentioned. Hence, "poor-mans"

Chavez yould have stopped Cotto in 3-5. ****** too.

Allot of these fools wernt even watching boxing back then!!! To all these punk ass haters answer me this If he was Overated and only fought bums why is it that he was Pound 4 pound top 10 for so long?????? QUITE TIME!!!

[small_warrior]

cotto is an upgraded version of chavez, more power and stronger though, although both have poor defense cotto's is better, he dosent take 4 punches to land one like the overrated julio chavez

maybe your right or maybe your wrong i don't knox. but i prefer cottos style

[guru]

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but ithink most of the boxing public(fans, boxers, trainers, writers) will disagree with cotto being better than JCC

[small_warrior]

yes because cotto career is far to young. But too because people like too get nostalic so theyre a like " yeah youre remember chavez, he was that toughes fighter....."

[Pandaman64]

While he may not be as good as JCC, the similarities are striking.

I'd say while cotto's defence is better, JCC had a much better chin, and his defence caught up with cotto once he got Steward in his corner.


Give it a few more fights before you throw around the term 'upgraded'. If he continues to improve and KO people....maybe.

[dino]

Taylor, haugen, Camacho, Kamau, Laporte, Rosario, Randall, all bums huh?

Dude you should get banned for saying such nonsense

if you think this is a good lineup of guys, dont talk about mayweathers "poor competition"

[Rudyo]

leagues better my ass, cotto wouldnt lose to frankie randall, and chavez lost 11 rounds to meldrick taylor who was nothing more then the cory spinks of his day

Hahaha wow you're an idiot, Meldrick Taylor before the Chavez fight was a potential ATG talent he had all the tools you needed and then some. He had far more speed then anyone around at that time, he was a good boxer and he could take a good punch. Comparing pre- Chavez Taylor with Cory Spinks is just ******.
