Why Would Alfonso Gomez Beat Miguel Cotto?

[ferocity]

I don't see why people would say so. Miguel Cotto is undefeated, but hasn't been protected like alot of undefeated fighters. He's fought guys like Shane Mosley, Ricardo Torres, Zab Judah, Carlos Quintana, and Paulie Malignaggi. He's gained a wealth of experience as a young champion and has become a complete fighter.

Contrast that with Alfonso Gomez, whose biggest wins have been Peter Manfredo, Ben Tackie, and Arturo Gatti.

The Manfredo fight was a 5 round fight.

Ben Tackie and Arturo Gatti were both beyond finished and I'm surprised either was sanctioned to fight.

You can point to Cotto's chin as a reason why Gomez is gonna win, but a puncher's chance means little when you're up against world talent. Cotto has shown a much tougher beard at 147 so I'd forget the Corley and Torres fights for a little. The only guy who rocked Cotto at 147 was Zab Judah and Judah is a much sharper puncher.

Alfonso Gomez looked like Roberto Duran beating on a smaller Arturo Gatti, but that version of Gatti was a sad imitation of "Thunder", a shadow of a man. Gatti was stationary and didn't have the legs to move around or defend himself anymore. Do you think Cotto would lay against the ropes and let Gomez measure him for a haymaker?

Gomez isn't particularly fast, strong, or skilled. He's going to be a sitting target for Cotto's body attack.

Class shows in boxing, and I think that will be the main difference when these guys fight.

Not too long ago many waited for Cotto to step it up in competition and he defently has. But, you don't have to lie.

People like you that down grade the under dog is reasons why some people root for the under dog. And your opinion of Gomez is sad with full biased and ass kissing to Cotto.

I know, because I'm Puerto Rican, right?

Didn't I just pick Nate Campbell, a 7-1 underdog, to beat Juan Diaz? There are live underdogs, and then there are sacrificial lambs. We all know that you are biased for Mexican fighters, so why try to appear impartial?

good thread.. completely agreed

[GodOfWar]

You have to train hard for every opponent and never look past any opponent, I hope cotto is smart and knows this. If I was a boxer thats how I would view every fight even if ppl considered me the heavy favorite
