Jack Mosley's response

[-Antonio-]

Do you consider yourself an objective critic? If you do... watch the last five to six fights of Miguel Cotto and I trust your position on him will change. Not saying you will hate him, but you'd be less judgemental of fighters from then on. I am a firm believer in that approach. Don't become a bandwagon person without analyzing fighters from an objective stand-point.

What about those fights? Seriously you aren't being objective, you are looking for something to hate on. If you were being objective you wouldn't have mentioned the Torres fight. Cotto was shaken three times in that fight, and not once did he retaliate in a low blow. The two low blows that he got called on in another round were borderline, and Torres' corner even got caught telling him to fall down and scream lol. He was trying to milk the low blows for points. I wonder if Judah was watching?

You brought up the Quintana fight, once again Cotto was not in danger, and did not retaliate in a foul. From what I remember he landed one borderline shot that made Quintana look to the ref, but Carlos landed two on Cotto that the ref noticed and called. No you aren't being objective.

Thats seven CREDIBLE sources
Should I go on. Of course there is no link..watch his last five to six fights and get back to me.

People have seen this stuff. Antonio himself has seen several top scribes, former fighters, and people involved establish viewpoint on this subject.

Listen to him though.. It's in one ear and out the other.

For some reason some Cotto fans are DRAMATICALLY concerned with Miguel's reputation involving dirty tactics. Like soap opera concerned.

I'm just waiting for one of these guys to show up on youtube screaming and crying under a blanket for us to leave Miguel alone..

[Addison]

This is just ****ing sad..

Jack Mosley is talking real **** about this fight and people are whining about how people are "hating" on Miguel.

Read the ****ing story again. Is Jack Mosley "HATING" on Cotto???

Is the reporter "hating" on Cotto?

Gimmee a ****ING break. The crying here is PATHETIC.

The FACT has been established.

The delusion is ****ing outrageous..

[Addison]

Cotto's a body puncher and according to Addison he's not the most accurate of punchers. That said he hit all those guys on the belt line except Judah who probably knew what it tastes like to lick his own balls now.

BELTLINE?? I guess we're just making it up as we go along then..

Lampley: "..Cotto landed low again! Referee didn't see it!.."

"From Pillar to Post" - Zab Could've Quit, But He Didn't

By Ryan ********


Leading up to the pay-per-view mega-fight Saturday, it was difficult to pick Judah on paper. He hadn't won a fight in over two years, with only a single round separating him from two consecutive losses. What Judah, 34-5 (25 KO), brought to the table was a style advantage that many thought would unveil Miguel Cotto's primary weakness, an inability to deal with southpaw boxer-punchers.

Over the first two rounds, that's exactly what occurred. Judah was on the verge of stopping Cotto in the opening stanza, who seems to have to be almost out of the fight to get his game started. It was a left uppercut that started Cotto's early woes, followed by a barrage of left crosses that sent Cotto to the ropes. If not for Miguel Cotto's intentional low blow midway through the first round, Cotto would be on his way back to Bayamon with a TKO by 1 on his record.
Instead, Miguel Cotto, now 30-0 (25 KO), followed the game plan of countryman Felix Trinidad, when he met a younger, quicker boxer in Fernando Vargas. To slow down the surging Vargas, Tito dusted off the old testicle shot to take some steam out of "El Feroz". Just like his predecessor Trinidad, Cotto will do anything to win.
The third round also featured Cotto in some distress, only to be bailed out by another, more paralyzing and flagrant attempt at an impromptu vasectomy, this one eliciting a point deduction from Arthur Mercante Jr.
The damage was done, however, and as the fight progressed, Judah was beginning to feel the ill effects of Cotto's sustained body assault. When Judah began reverting to false signs of bravado, you could see in broad daylight that he was beginning to doubt whether or not he would be able to pull off the upset. In a sense, he was giving up hope mentally, but not yet physically.

You guys are rediculous if you think Cotto is a dirty fighter. First of all those low blows to Judah were more played by Judah like a soccer player taking a dive and acting out. I will admit the first one was low but the second was caused by Judah pulling down on Cotto as Cotto threw a body punch. Second, if you guys are just starting to watch Cotto since fighting Judah then I can see you guys saying he is dirty. But I've been following Cotto since his amateurs days and he is a true sportsman. He never uses those tactics. If you want to call someone dirty talk to Agapito Sanchez, who was probably the dirtiest fighter in the game. Hell if it's Puerto Rican fighters you want to call dirty then I will accept Trinidad before Cotto. I followed Tito's career as well and he has been known to go below....yeah and not just on Vargas he did that way before fighting Vargas.

So in conclusion anyone who thinks Cotto is a dirty fighter is full of sh$t and making up ****** inconclusive rumors cause my man never went below the belt on intentionally. Sounds to me like the Mosely's are focused on the wrong game plan which will cause them to lose!

Cotto Beats Corley in Disputed Fashion

By Rick Reeno

Tonight we saw one of the worst refereeing jobs that I have ever seen in my life. The referee was very incompetent , he repeatedly let Cotto hit Corley after the bell, he let Cotto push Corley down, he let Cotto hit Corley while he was holding him and on the break...

Apparently those "rumors" have made their way into the media and the camp of Shane Mosley. The "rumors" have also been openly discussed on ESPN, Showtime, and HBO.

The "rumor" is OUT.


Or did you not read the thread you're posting in?

Then if that is the card everyone wants to play so be it I say Cotto go low all you want and if any retaliation comes about retaliate again until two points are taken away...by that time Shane's nuts should look like he has elephantidus!

Hey, don't get me wrong..

NOBODY wants to exchange nut shots with Cotto.

He's got that on lock.

Mosley is kidding himself if he thinks he can go ball to ball with him.
