    Could history repeat?


    Tyson wasnt looking ahead. Most people thought he would walk through Holyfield.

    Tyson 2wks before the fight was 240lbs was doing drugs, drinking and as he puts it: ****ing Japanesse girls like it was eating g****s.

        Its big but Cotto got KTFO in his last fight and has looked far from invincable throughout his career.

            Cotto is a guy who just got knocked out in his last fight. It's an upset but not a huge one by any stretch.
            yeah... cotto was made to quit in his last fight so an upset is not as big as the tyspn/douglass upset.

              actually cotto was already scheduled to fight margo in june so he was overlooking jennings from the jump, but I dont think it will matter anyways (as jennings IS from the UK).

                I have seen Michael fight a few times. Like what others have mentioned, he is a very good technical boxer.However, he has limited power and, in my opinion, his power will not get the respect of Cotto.

                Technically, Jennings can induce a headache in Cotto, but if Cotto continues to walk him down all night, walking through his punches and landing punishing ones of his own I can see a TKO or corner retirement at about the halfway mark.

                If Jennings had the power to make Cotto think twice about scrapping with him, he would actually have a good...no, decent chance of out pointing Cotto. However, the reality is that while Jennings may be a good boxer, he isn't elite like Cotto, and consequently never faced anyone of his level before.

                I think Jennings will do better than most give him credit for, but i can really see a corner retirement after round 6 when it has already become apparent that he isn't going to be able to knock Miguel out, or outpoint him for that matter.

                  you can't say he was.theirs no way of knowing that unless you know what's going on in his head.he's yet to fight jennings.if he looks bad, it's very likely he was, or the fight with marga took alot out of him.could be both.

                    It would be an upset but people will just say that Cotto was damaged goods because of the Margarito fight if Jennings manages to win.

                      I think Rubio beating Pavlik would be a bigger upset.
