The Cotto hype - do you buy it?

[deanrw]

He beat Judah (former undisputed welterweight champ of the world) and De La Hoya (world super-welterweight champ).

But I totally agree that he should fight Cotto. The Oscar rematch is inexcusable.

Yeah but Judah and Oscar, were both at the stages of their careers, where they were beatable. They were good tests, but Floyd knew what he was facing with them.

Judah was coming off a loss and ODLH was coming off of a loss to Mosley, Sturm*, and Hopkins. followed by one win with Mayorga. Interesting fights in my opinion, but definitely not career defining fights.

Hatton at least supplied a little mystery, as he was unbeaten on record anyway. Hatton's fight with Collazo, is what convinced Floyd to take the fight along with Hatton's size.

who gives a **** what your punk ass thinks.you are like most floyd boys here who only post on floyd threads.**** off.

He he is not, he is just good, that's what we will learn sooner than later. He is also very strong, but a reachy fighter will cause him many problems he doesn't know the answer to. Cotto has one speed, one style and moves in one direction. The thing is, he is indeed very strong. Also his stamina is troublesome.

I believe both things. He is a great boxer, and he proved that to me when he went to "retreat" mode against Mosley and could box against such an accomplished guy. I do believe, also, that a reachy one punch ko artist would give him hell. I think he has the skills to beat that kind of guy, but if he decides to push the "pressure-pressure-pressure" game, he could end up ruined, win or lose.

man cotto has foughten a large amount of tough fights one after another... his resume is starting to look pretty damn good now with wins over quintana, judah, and mosley. After this gomez fight you know he's gonna take the next toughest fight available

Cotto is a ducker.

Fight Williams you ***! Stop going after over 30 fighters already, you're 27 for **** sake.

IF Cotto beats Williams he will have my respect. But of course, neither him OR his fans want Williams talks. They perfer Mayweather, low risk and high reward. Problem is, Cotto is only 27 and too little experience for Mayweather to even consider giving him a chance. Fight Williams Cotto, i dare you!

whats even more funny is dude actually went back and edited some of his posts after Williams lost to add, "unless he loses" or "as long as he keeps winning".

what do you mean by ship?

Thats when you get hit a fair bit.

[Shem]

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.

That's exactly what I thought.

Cotto is not hype Cotto is pretty much real
Gomez is hype, he's the incarnation of it but it will end tonight
I do wish Cotto fights Williams, he'll put Willy in a body bag, thats my take on that


and don't compare Katsidis and Gatti to Cotto is just dumb.

[QUOTE=Allucard;3345038]People say Cotto is a very good fighter and hits the body methodically but I hate him cuz he can destroy the man of my dreams Floyd... ....blah blah blah... Couldn't he have found someone better? Is he waiting for Mayweather? . ....blah blah blah... [QUOTE]

Yes an Gayweather would not fight him!!!!

[QUOTE=Allucard;3345064]Vs who? Best win in my book was Mosley but Mosley is past his prime like DLH who got a split decision loss to floyd, in a weight category you have to be fast. Imagine if Mosley wasn't open all night for Cotto's right hands or even being open, imagine if he had gone to the body early. ....blah blah blah... Cotto being ranked number 2 in most ranks, he should be fighting someone in the top 5 at least! "Noone was avaiable, he had to have Gomez" That's some serious bull****, since when the number two ranked in boxing's best division has trouble getting a good fight? [QUOTE]

Imagine = not real = never happen = you are ******

ESPN Top 5:

1. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (39-0) Would not fight Cotto cuz he's afraid

2. Miguel Cotto (31-0) can't fight himself Well maybe in your ****** imagination

3. Antonio Margarito (35-5) was suppused to fight cotto instead fought PW and lost so he had to get back in line and if he wins tonight he will secure a fight wit Cotto


4. Shane Mosley (44-5) Already got beat by Cotto!!!

5. Carlos Quintana (25-1) His only defeat is becuse he couldn't last past 5 rounds with Cotto

How come the #1 haven't fought neither is willing to fight #2,3, 4 or 5?
