Miguel Cotto Is The New "Golden Boy"

[ANDROID_DOES]

Obviously you can't read too well when you dont even notice I said "tune-up level risk". Gatti's fighting ability especially at that point was journeyman.

Who the hell were you talking too that considered Gatti a risk, the cast of Soprano's? No boxing fan with a halfway decent seeing eye dog thought Gatti was gonna win so please. You also fail to mention the Mitchell and Brussel fights, so where is your arguement that PBF took no tune-ups.

we are talking about floyd's schedule right now dumb ass. Who the **** is talking about tune up fights 5 years ago. look at floyds last four fights...where is the tune-up. saying baldi was a tune up is pretty ridiculous considering he was the wbc champion of the world.

Maybe that's why cotto's ppv buys are garbage and is yet to be considered a name in this sport. Floyd vs baldi did more buys then cotto vs mosley

Was Mayweather even headlining PPV's 6 years into his career? Floyd has been fighting since late '96...Cotto since '01. As an American Olympian, and a marketable presence, he (Floyd) should be a big deal.

Dude, do you think we have the memory span of a damn goldfish. I can remember what you posted in page one.

YOU I repeat YOUUUU were the one who were trying to down play Cotto's fight selection of Gomez and said that PBF never took a tune-up

Then why does floyd have to fight the best fighters back to back to back to back since that what it seems you guys want. Cotto is unproven and needs to beat a williams, margarito, or citron in impressive fashion to be even considered a chance to beat floyd. Floyd faught gatti, baldi, judah, dlh, hatton. where the **** is the tune of fight of the likes of gomez in that mix?

BTW belts mean crap, Urango had the IBF belt but he was still a tune-up fight for Castillo-Hatton.

the "ibf" lol the ibf champ and the wbc champ if different you will find there is a wide gap of talent between these two title holders. The WBC and Ring belts are belts that do mean something. Belts mean everything!! you fight for championships! Belts mean the world when your a cotto and win a vacant wba title against a quintana. The WBC and ring are the two most recognized belts .those in return bring in tons more money, bigger fights, and bigger fame so dont sit here and say belts dont mean ****. You only say that because cotto has a in floyds words "paper championship". ask baldi if having the WBC belt didnt make him millions and give him fame! baldi winning the wbc championship has accomplished more as a pro with that then cotto has in his "famed career" so far. Who knows when cotto will hold that belt if ever. That belt alone gave baldi something in one year what cotto has been trying to do for a few years now and thats get a big payday with floyd. Don't say belts done mean nothing because the wbc and ring can do wonders for you if in your possession.

You still dont address my early point........what happend to PBF never took tune-ups? The reality of the situation was that Gatti was a journeyman and tune-up level opponent who brought a lot of media attention, not to mention Mitchell and Brussells but you appear unable to fathom that PBF like all fighters take tune-ups and easier fights at times so I'll leave it at that.

You can continue to be a PBF fanatic and keep your head buried in the sand and I'll continue to be his fan while living in reality.

like i said moron i was looking at his recent fights! every fighter has easier fights then some. being a cotto fan you should be well aware of that by now. well floyd was fighting gatti which held a belt, cotto was fighting mohamad abdulaev.

Exactly you were stating his fights "Floyd faught gatti, baldi, judah, dlh, hatton. where the **** is the tune of fight of the likes of gomez in that mix?" but you missed that between gatti and the rest was Mitchell.......seems pretty convienent.

[Motofan]

Cotto will never be a big star on ODH level. Or even on Floyds level. He is a robot. Nobody cares about robots. It may not be fair, but it's the truth.

I did leave out mitchell but not on purpose i forgot floyd had faught him after gatti i thought it was before. but still you cant compare gomez to mitchell. Mitchell didn't come from a reality show. he faught tszyu twice, ndou, mayweahter, paul williams, vince phillips, and stevie johnston. That resume is five hundred times better then gomez's

Alright so now your contention was that Mitchell wasn't a tune-up either.....hmmm ok. Like I stated earlier you will never acknowledge that PBF ever took a tune-up because that would make your entire bashing of Cotto either moot or hypocritical and you have this idea that if your a PBF fan then you have to bash Cotto......you can be a fan of both, I am try it its nice.
