Who's performance was more admirable?

[Kobe Bryant]

I do admire Cotto for trying to go to war with a true Mexican Warrior. But at the same time he was battered and left his family crying.

[COACH WEBB]

how in the world does COTTO losing to Margarito compare to Floyd's domination over Baldomir???

the thread starter is cut deeply and he is rrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeaaaaaaaccccccchhhhhhiiiiiiinnnn nnngggggggg!!!!!!!!!

[deevel79]

Floyd = playing it safe
Cotto = taking risks

whats more admirable?

More admirable?

Spartans taking on the entire Persian Army and losing

or

The Persian Army outnumbering the Spartans 100-1 and winning

[TCNŽ SOULJAH]

yes he was but why claim that Floyd was "beat the odds"? why do these guys always try to make it seem like Floyd has had a mountain to climb ever since moving to the WW division?

Cotto and Floyd were both fighting against the odds in physical terms of being the smaller and less powerful men.

They were relying on skills over brawn.

I'm not talking about bookmakers odds.




And if you use Floyd's skills to discredit his every win on the grounds that he was supposed to beat this opponent or that opponent --- nothing he does would ever be good enough to your dumb ass.

but the fact remains that the best fighter in the world was taking the less risk available.

let me rephrase that

the fighter who had the best skills in the world to overcome the biggest challenges was taking the easier fights. i wish it wasnt so because this guy had an amazing pre WW career but its the truth.

that isnt as commendable as someone who is willing to step in the ring with anyone.

and it appears that the board shares that sentiment, but im sure they are all just biased and racist.

You like to think too much for people, Stop trying to play the "I know what you're thinking stuff"...Every boxer takes the risk of lacing them up and getting in the ring. When you're at the top then you have more option of getting the big money fights.

Margarito would now know what it feels like to be at the top while other people are trying to chop you down with silly and unrealistic offers...

If given the chance Cotto and Margarito would have fought dela hoya over each other...this is one thing i understand and you dont.

Bald was bigger and stronger then Mayweather. The size difference between Bald and Mayweather was MUCH BIGGER then the size difference of Margarito and Cotto. Thats for damn sure.

Not in height.

But in build and thickness. Definitely.


Thank you.

Thank you.

yeah not in height, my fault. No offense but most Mexicans don't use they're reach and height.
