The Cotto hype - do you buy it?

[Scott9945]

Comparing Cotto to Gatti and Katsidis shows that you don't even have a clue about his skills. He is clearly a level or two above them.

Gatti never beat Moseley, even tho it was a sloppy fight.

[Allucard]

Vs who? Mosley (don't give me that age bull****, Mosley fought a very good fight) Judah, Quintana(Future Champ) Urkal, Malignaggi(Future Champ), Torres, Corley, those are solid names on your resume. I'd say that's proving yourself. Who has a better resume right now other than PBF?

See what i mean?

he knows the deal. he's just a detractor who doesnt like the way PBF gets "treated". he's been in threads were the reasons for the Gomez fight have been explained MANY times. So with that being said, I think its time for the thread to actually be entertaining or have a purpose. Ladies and Gents, I give you the world's best freestyle battle ever.........ever.

What? You make it seem as if Cotto was fighting a corpse.

The reason for Floyd fighting DLH again was EXPLAINED to you MANY times yet you won't stop bitching about it. It goes both ways sir.

People say Cotto is a very good fighter and hits the body methodically for continual pain. How can you get behind such an hype? This **** wouldn't be allowed in any other fighting sport. There is a REASON he is fighting Gomez. Ask yourself, if the man is so good, why Gomez then? Couldn't he have found someone better? Is he waiting for Mayweather? that would be even more ****** because it's very likely pbf hangs them after Hoya. The main reason Cotto punches much to the body is he is just isn't a very fast fighter. Already, at 27 has taken more punishment than most elite fighters in a 5 year period. He compensates his lack of speed by doing the body work. I think very poorly of these kinds of fighters. They are the **** one day and the other they are just ****. Think Katsidis for one, Gatti for another one and now Cotto. Cotto can pull that trick vs maybe 75% of the current opposition but I'm not buying the hype. Are you?

This is some of the dumbest **** I've heard in a while...

we know and see his deficiences we just want pbf to fight him, thats how we want boxing to go champions facing their number one challengers.

so i take it you didnt see the mosley fight where he showed versatility. Cotto isnt the best fighter in the world, he may not even be in the top 3, but for anyone to call him "hype" when looking at his resume which includes former champions and fighters who BECAME champions after he beat them, you can come to the safe conclusion that he is better than "good".

what i dont understand is how you can call Cotto hype, when you were so confident about Paul Williams. Paul Williams hadnt even accomplished a 3rd of what Cotto had yet, you were more than sure he would be the best welter after Floyd. You need to be consistent.
