Miguel Cotto sucks

[adrsan84]

it's WHO he lost to

he lost to a guy who only fights one way. if you can't come up with the game plan and stamina to beat him, you just aren't a great fighter. period

it's one of the reasons Steward is getting less respect as a trainer. he gave Cintron no game plan against a guy so easy to figure out

Cintron is not physically capable of doing what Floyd might do to Tony, and Steward knew that and hoped that Cintron's power would prevail. He told Kermit not to take that fight but Cintron wanted it bad. Cotto also tried to fight a less physical fight but he was dragged into it by the constant assault.

I wouldn't rule out Cotto beating Floyd either, even though I would lean towards PFB the fight is no gimme. I think it's safe to say Floyd wouldn't invest enough in trying to punish a guy with Cotto's power and it could lead to a good fight if Cotto landed a few clean ones and slowed him down.

Diego, if you don't start being nice again I'm gonna have to bump that thread you made slagging off Floyd pre-bandwagaon.

Play nice now.

Styles make fights.

Cotto would give Floyd a run for his money.

To beat Tony you have to box, Cotto is not a master boxer, and Tony's chin is just that durable and look at the outcome.

Styles make fights!

The difference is none of those guys is Mayweather, one of the greatest fighters ever, capable of adapting to any opponent as proven by the fact he's only had one close fight (with one functioning arm mind you)

???? lol

He hasnt even fought that many styles. Castillo nearly beat him. And i cant stop laughing at the parenthesis. One working arm, yea, that would explain why he threw it so freely.

You show that to a person whos never seen it before, they wouldnt be able to tell u which arm was hurt and which wasnt. Didnt effect Mayweather at all.

Wasnt even that badly injured, he is just such a massive ***** that he actually complained about it afterward to make an excuse.

actually I've always laughed when people said Cotto was on Mayweather's level. nothing fickle about it

You speak like Mayweather actually got into the ring and embarassed Cotto, when me and you both knew he is to much of a ***** to even get into the ring to spar with Cotto.

[machotime]

how the hell did you gauge that? is it because Floyd gets better late in the fight and spars 15 rounds a day?

For Floyd to throw 1600 punches in one fight, he would have to be on drugs.

And this is not indicating that he needs to.

[RAESAAD]

This guy was hyped as the man to top Mayweather and become the best in the world, the "fighting champion" as it were. This was the guy who was willing to take on anybody and was going to bulldoze "cowards" like Mayweather.

This guy lost to a slow, telegraphing every punch, untalented walking chin with 5 losses.

I'll always use this situation as a basis for deciding if a guy knows what he's talking about because there were actual "experts" out there who thought this guy was the real deal. HBO was all over him, hoping he would be for them what Mayweather wasn't.

Well, the truth hurts and this guy has no chance of ever coming close to Mayweather type greatness now.

yeah any guy who loses a fight is horrible, sucks and should just retire. Leaving us with Guzman,Mayweather, Pavlik and Calzaghe to duke it out and be the last man standing.......And then boxing should just cease being a sport.

[machotime]

Leonard lost to Duran (and visa versa)
Duran lost to Hagler
Hagler lost to Leonard

Styles make fights. and losing doesnt make someone overrated.

[DiegoFuego]

Whitaker is better then Floyd, Chavez is better then Floyd, Holyfield is better then Floyd, Lennox Lewis is better the Floyd... You want me to continue?

at all of that nonsense

I always forget that you rate fighters based on how macho they are. Now I remember why your favorites were always guys with little ability but lots of heart (Pavlik, Hatton, Corrales, etc). Why do you even watch boxing if you have no respect for great fighters with real ability and not just chins and toughness?

Many had the Castillo Mayweather fight in favor of Castillo.

Floyd picked his fights wisely after that... he was great at 135.... at 140 and 147 he's overrated.
