Tszyu V Cotto (prime For Prime)

[wmute]

there style isn't that different.only cotto doesn't clinch as much.

When did you ever see Cotto do what Hatton was doing with Zoo.

1) getting on his ass fast, DIFFERENT than cutting off the ring

2) smother him

3) hold him

They are very different fighters with different styles, and different skills and different physical talents.

first,the difference in style is hatton's excessive clinching.
cotto is better at everything else that hatton does.
and cotto fought similarly to what hatton did vs kostya in the judah fight.

Tszyu got beat by Phillips because he boxed badly and didn't train properly, not because Phillips was the better fighter, plus it wasn't prime Tszyu, prime Tszyu was about 2000-2001. P4P, I pick Tszyu by KO, because Cotto's chin isn't the best and he couldn't take Tszyu's power.

You feel that Tszyu was four to five years past his prime by the time Hatton beat him?

Tszyu was still on the p4p list. Pretty high at that.

very good point. how can someone be past it if they hold the belt and are in the p4p list lol. o and heavy favourite going into the fight. 90% of people was going for Tszyu to win.

fine with excessive clinching, Cotto doesnt do that. That was useful against Zoo

False that Cotto is better everything else than Hatton does. He is slower on his feet, he has slower hands, ad he is more predictable (more orthdox in his movement and in the angles from which he throws punches).

And no Cotto didnt fight against Judah the way Hatton did against Zoo (minus the deliberate lowblows of course)

Are you from PR by any chance? Or maybe you dislike limeys? Because there seem to be something impairing your eyesight when watching these two.

Tszyu by decision at 140.

Cotto by TKO at 147.

No special ********* here to put Cotto ahead somehow. The fight would have only taken place at 140 and Kostya would have knocked Cotto out.

[Motofan]

Tszyu knocks Cotto out. Maybe early.

Probably brutally.
