    Malignaggi's last two performances have made me believe the Cotto Hype.

    I have been under the impression Cotto was overrated, but after seeing true boxing skills of Paul. I am thinking Cotto's destruction of him is that much more impressive. I figured it would ruin Malignaggi the beating he took, but it seems to have made him want to fight better guys now and he is looking good. In retrospect I can now see why most think Cotto is a beast now.

    Cotto is better then I origninally thought and Malinaggi is a helluva lot better then I originally thought.

    Cotto vs. Malinaggi may be a heck of a remtach in a couple years.

      Im glad you see the light Buddy. Cotto's stock has gone up big time in the past two weeks. Malignaggi and Torres' recent success in the division is only making Miguel look better.

        I knew Cotto was good.

        I did not think that Malignaggi was all that but he does have some skills.
        And I give him his props. I never thought he would come back.
        Prince Naz should be ashamed of himself.

        I knew Cotto was going to beat Malignaggi for the simple reason that Cotto has been training for fast fighters for years. His training was set up to ultimately beat Mayweather Jr. in the future.

        Too bad Floyd has ovaries instead of testicals.


        A coward like Floyd Mayweather Jr., dies a thousand deaths. A Warrior like Malignaggi dies but once.

          Cotto is definitely a pound for pound fighter. He has a better resume than both Hatton and Calzaghe now.

            I think his resume is not quite up to par with Hatton's (he still hasn't beaten a Hall of Famer like Tszyu and Collazo > Judah) and I don't think you can put him up there with Calzaghe yet simply because of the longevity and Calzaghe's overall dominance, even against not-so-great opposition.

            However, his stock is soaring and I'm hoping for a big win over Margarito and then a huge, huge fight vs. DLH next year. That would be fun. Mosley would be a nice fallback option, assuming this Top Rank-GBP feud is indeed near over...

                Take away the Tzu fight and Cotto's resume is as good if not better.

                    It's kind of hard to take away a fight from somebody when it actually happened... Thats like my friend beating me in basketball and im like well take that win against me off ur resume and you've never beaten me... wtf???
