Miguel Cotto's boxing ability is underrated at times. What? Just because he decides to box and not pressure someone at all times, that makes him a coward? Well, I don't agree with that. Even while he was boxing and Mosley was coming after him, he still engaged and landed some beautiful counter shots. He didn't run. When Mosley got there, Cotto fought back and countered back. Adjustments are made all the time, and Cotto made the adjustment. He was able to outbox Mosley down the stretch. We are so used to Cotto being a nonstop pressure fighter, and he is a pressure fighter, but he can do more than that, and that's a good thing for him and not a good thing for his opponents. Bottom line, he won the fight, and that's that.Comment

after having some time to reflect on where the loss to Cotto put him career wise he is probably pretty aggravated about being matched with Judah in a fight that is pretty much being labeled a win or hang em up affair, that has to sting. Combine that with the fact that he trained like a mother ****a for Cotto and in his mind there was no way Cotto was winning that fight, then he did and as you pointed out he is realistically going thru a stage of accepting that he was bested. Add in the fact that a press tour with a ****y as **** Zab Judah doesnt exactly lift your spirits and he has a legitimate reason to be a little unMosley like.Comment

Post fight interview:
Max Kellerman: "The last few seconds of the 12th round, you were behaving as thought you had the fight won. Did you think you had the fight won?"
Cotto: "Yea after the cut, I just pretend to move because I have my, the fight, here in my corner"
So the fact that he thought he had the fight in the bag, meant he thought he was safely leading. Which imo is the reasoning behind fighting differently in the endComment

A fight with Margarito makes more sense than Mosley-Cotto 2... Floyd is a coward and will never fight Cotto..
Right now Cotto should fight Margarito to establish himself as the best Welterweight in the world.. Floyd hasn't fought any Welters for probably 3 years right now coming to 2009.
The Ring Belt should be awarded to Cotto if he fights Margarito or Mosley 2.Last edited by Akatsuki; 04-01-2008, 09:32 PM.Comment
