Cotto Comments on De La Hoya's Decision

[frankpaganini]

I'm very impressed (as always) by the respectable, "gentelmens" attitude from cotto.

its good to know guys like that still exist because if this was someone else (no offense...but like mayorga) we all know he'd be calling oscar a *****.

cotto is very classy...something we need more of in this sport.

i dont think its wrong for oscar to listen to his wife on this. i think she is being a little dramatic assuming it would cause problems in puerto rico because oscar and cotto are classy guys who wouldnt cause some type of bad reaction to either fighter. i could see these guys being good friends after the fight no matter who wins.

either way i disagree with those who think it would be an easy fight for either fighter. i DO think it would be a slugfest that would mesaure up along the lines of (maybe not to the greatness and extent of; but none the less a reminder of) gatti/ward, miranda/pavlik, castillo/corrales, etc.

it would not be an easy fight for either fighter and i think when it would be over you would swear (judging by their beat up bruised/bloody faces) that they were two heavyweights slugging it out for 12 rounds.

both of these men are tough and can take a punch (as well as give them).

it would be a close fight and the outcome would most likely be whoever catches who with a good clean punch first.

could it go the distance? possibly but not very likely.

i personally would love to see this fight. no matter who would win they'd both be winners in my opinion...just based on the level of punishment in the fight.

we could possibly see this fight happen in 08 because theres a lot of time between now and then and oscar could possibly work it out with his wife...and even if it doesnt get worked out there is other oppenents oscar can fight...so its not the end of the road.

[the GREAT one]

Welterweight King

Mayweather vs Hatton
i see MAYWEATHER winning ud.
2much skill 4hatton..dont get me wrong all credit 2hatton for being were he is coz i never belived hed get passed tszyu for one then 2do wot he did to costillio. i take my hat of to him...but i realy think mayweather just to much boxing brain for him.

MAYWEATHER vs COTTO


i recon cotto is the next big superstar

De La Hoya fighting in 2008

options
hatton,margarito,williams,wright,mosley or winner of rjj vs trinidad

dlh wont fight at middle weight rjj n trinidad wont cum down so u can forget them to...mosley already beat him 2x.
hatton n margarito 2much pressure fighting for dlh's stamina
williams 2quick n flashy he wont b able to chase 4 12rounds
wright 2clever
so i dont realy know cintron maybe cant think of any1 else
poss a rematch with mayweather or maybe even late 2008 vs cotto and retire

[dadd]

Dlh only fights the best !!!! everyone knows that he only fights the best or nothing!!!!! he says he will fight weather in a 16x16 foot ring not a 20x20 like last time ....every one tito trinidad is bidding himself out tito says he wants 50% of the purse and 50% of the ppv buys and he wants the fight at 160lbs ...it would be ****** for him to ask for that when dlh is the attraction!!!!

de la hoy a is an idiot...he's options are little to nothing....he only wants to fight guys that generate big money who he can beat fairy easily, and the only people who that is, is cotto and hatton...hatton will lose to mayweather, so now that cotto is out of the question he has nobody left.

he dosent want to fight spinks or forest because he might lose
