The most decieving fighters past or present

[cotto16]

Danny Williams. End of thread.

Saddler was tall for his weight but not exactly an intimidating sight unless you knew his reputation.

Before the first fight Pep took a look at Saddler, said it would be an easy night's work and then ended up getting knocked out cold in 4 rounds.

Bert sugar once said sandler won alot of his fight on the scales when fighters seen how big he was

Bert Sugar said a lot of things.

But I'm sure some people were intimidated by his size (and KO reputation), just not his looks.

To be honest I don't get why you keep saying Monzon was small/weak-looking, to me he always looked bigger and stronger than his opposition.

I just don't see it.


Look at this picture for example.

Diego Corrales looked like he couldnt kill a fly with a punch with how skinny he was, yet he had one of the biggest shots in Boxing.

MIGUEL COTTO..!!!!!!!!!

Why Does Cotto Always Fight For Vacant Belts....!!!
This is a disturbing Pattern.

Cotto fights all Medium RISK - Medium Reward fighters
EXCEPT ONE TIME, AND HE GOT HIS ASS BEAT..!

Their is a big difference between beating a CURRENT CHAMPION for his belt.
and beating a fellow contender for a belt.

Thats why we have words like CHAMPION and CONTENDER....

and Cotto always fights contenders for his belts...

He has never had to beat a CHAMPION for his belt.Cotto has
never had to take away something from somebody who earned it.





I have been saying this for years...

The General Concerns I have with Cotto....

Cotto has been on cloud 9 before he was even a champion,
So much hype and money have went in to this kid, and I mean kid, that he has to fight the best in the division now.

No More Unproven Contenders Like Gomez,
No More Past their Prime Old Fighters Mosely in which He barely Wins..
No More fighting non active fighters like Judah
He now has to fight Prime,Active, Young , P4P, Highly ranked Fighters....
There is no more grace time.....The Time is Now....
And His First Test is Margarito....
Remember Cotto has never had to beat a Champion For his Title...He has always fought fellow contenders for vacant titles....

(AND HE IS DOING IT AGAIN)

I have been seeing this coming though, but the commentators on HBO are just commenting on the good things they see. Instead of the little things he does wrong that champions will see and will counter, and will not miss. He still gets hit a lot, and wastes a lot of punches. Sometimes he punches from too far out and leaves gaps where he can be countered or beaten to the punch.

• Zab Judah Show you how to counter him....
• Shane Mosley show you how to pressure him
• Demarcus Corely Show you how to accurately hit him...

and Margarito showed how can he handle being hurt by somebody who can finish the job. HE TOOK A KNEE, AND QUIT
..
Steward,Merchant and Lampley make him out to be some phenom, because he's KO'd a bunch of lightweights, contenders,and Past their prime fighters
when they know he's starving to make the weight.



Cotto Flaws....Of Getting HIT alot , and wasting a lot of punches, Is a flaw you can not afford to have against The Elite Fighters....., THATS WHY COTTO AVOIDS FIGHTING PRIME FIGHTERS(CHAMPIONS) FOR THEIR BELTS... AND FIGHT BULL**** FIGHTERS.. FOR VACANT TITLES.

tommy hearns also comes to mind

[kadyo's]

A teen age pacman who knocked down a japanese welterweight oriental champ in a sparring. He was a flyweight then.

[roundingace]

Pavlik for sure (Now-a-days). Especially to those who didn't know him prior to 07.

[Underdog82]

Gonna go with Pavlik too. He looks like some insignificant white boy but he can knock someone the **** out with a flush shot.

Also Tito trinidid never looked very intimidating, he kind of had a soft weak look with those rounded shoulders he had. Yet hit packed a killer punch.

Yep. Definetely Hearns. Especially at 147.
