    Who Will OUT-BOX who?

    All fights aren't Ko's, DQ's, and Cuts. So when it goes to the cards, which it does a large percent of the time, Who will be the one with the win.

    Upcoming Fgihts.


    Calzaghe - Hopkins.

    We know hopkins is a great technician. Calzaghe throws loads of punches... without his activity he would probably have been beat by Kessler. His pure volume of punches wins him his fights. Without his activity Calzaghe wouldn't be calzaghe.

    Will hopkins get "OUTBOXED" by calzaghe on fight night. It's not likely.

    Will Cal's activity overcome the more experienced boxer. This has a big chance of happening.

    Calzaghe by points I think.


    Cotto - Magarito

    Margarito takes shots and keeps coming. He hits hard. And doesn't let up on his aggression.

    Cotto seems to have good power. *(though I feel margarito would have knocked gomez out 10 count)* and has showed there is more to his boxing. 0He beat shane with a jab that he hadn't showed much before. But he likes to fight in constant spurts, and even tired out and got on his bicycle for the last rounds against Shane mosely, compared to margaritos' great chin/will to trade for the whole fight and chase you down.

    Margarito will stop him unless.

    1. Cotto Lands a Disasterous punch early (that cintron didn't land in the early rounds). Very Possible.

    2. Cotto again under critiscm shows he can box even better than he did against shane showing good footwork and ring generalship. (Remeber margarito is not Alphy Gomez- though it was a entertaining night by Cotto.) Highly unliekly.

    3. Margaritos' power isn't enough to K.O. Cotto and they go all out for a 12 round SD for cotto. Can possibly happen.

    I feel margaritos pressure & Power will defeat cotto in 8-10.


    Zahir raheem loses this Friday. His wide stance proves to be his downfall again.lol



    Mayweather - Cotto. If it ever happens!

    Cotto will have to be able to cut the ring off. Mayweather is no gomez,judah,mosely.

    Cotto would have to OUT-BOX mayweather to win this fight.

    Does anyone really see mayweather getting out-boxed by cotto?

    Cotto's saving grace is a K.O. by a great punch. A punch that neither corralles,Dela hoya, castillio, judah*(with his speed), Guerrera, hernandez were able to land.

    but cotto is being seen as a all time great so He has that chance... And if he beats margarito.. His boxing chance goes up in my book too.

    I'd have to agree with you that Calzaghe's work rate is what wins him that fight.

    As far as Cotto-Margarito and Cotto-Mayweather, both Margarito and Mayweather have good chins and my thoughts would be a consistent body attack coming from Cotto. If he can dish out the same shot he did against Gomez I can see him taking both fights. I also believe he can outbox Margarito but his best chance of winning is to use his jab to get inside to be able to set that liver shot up. A win by KO is the only way he beats Floyd. Not sure how he's gonna break Mayweather's defense though.

        I think Calzaghe will win a close points decision, but I see it the other way around for Cotto-Margarito. I think Cotto will win by UD/late TKO but more than likely by UD. I wonder what the odds will be.

            I have Calzaghe winning by activity and he is the go coming forward. Is that outboxed? probably not, but he gets a win if he doesn't get KO'd imo.

              From what I seen in the change of cottos style last fight, I think Margarito might knock cotto out, because cotto(although quick) leaves his self wide open up teh middle when he throws his left right body head combination. Margarito has long arms and throws a good long uppercut that he should catch the shorter cotto with...

                  What bet?


                  Are you talking about the one for 3k where no one would bet with you and i distinctly said

                  "Hey if you get no takers i'll bet 3k for gomez to win if your other guy doesn't except since its not much of wha i got"

                  And right after 2 people accepted your bet? is that the bet your talking about?

                    lol... you calling me a mayweather nuthugger? lol..

                    Well i didnt mean to come off hat way if i did..

                    Well actually this wasn't about mayweather... wha about Calzaghe.. i bet that horus guy wants hopkins to win... well me too.. but i think calzaghe will win,.

                    and cotto and margarito... i think margarito is mayweathers biggest threat do to activity power and endurance/stamina with all that aggression.

                    if i seem like a mayweather fan.. thats because i am... but im boxing fan first so if its the truth i'll say it. and i'll betagainst him in amargarito fight anyday.
