Miguel Cotto = Meldrick Taylor

[!! Shawn]

Antonio Margarito may have sparked "Meldrick Taylor" syndrome in Miguel Cotto.

Margarito put the beatdown on him, plain and simple. It was a Chavez vs Taylor type beatdown. The effects of the beatdown were evident in his struggle with Josh Clottey. Clottey is not a hard puncher, yet he had Miguel running and trying to survive the final rounds. Cotto fought valiently, but he took a lot of shots and was at times, clearly shaken up by Clottey.

Cotto is no longer the same fighter, not since the Margarito beatdown. I think Freddie Roach sees this, and it's going to show in the Manny Pacquiao fight. Another smart move by Roach, they seen weaknesses in DLH and Hatton and I'm sure they see the effects of the beating Tony gave Cotto.

I tend to agree with you. Margarito ruined Cotto.

Attention idiots Taylor suffered brain damage in that fight is not even close.

Search before staring ****** threads.

Cotto fought the same way in SSM fight. The last 3 rounds he was backpedaling an Boxing. You guys forget Cotto wasn't fighting a bum. Clottey is a top 5 Welter and he won so how is he shot?

Ive watched that fight 10 times i had Clottey 114-113 everytime

I guess this means that Cotto will be fine until he challenges a reigning champion two weight classes above his. That's what was Meldrick Taylor's true downfall.

He was slurring after the fight but i believe he picked up another belt after that.

Yes he did win another belt but he suffer brain damage in the fight vs Chavez. Cotto only had swelling for 2 weeks.

Dont worry Cotto fans when Pac has him in trouble you know Cotto will hit him in the balls.

I have to agree. He hit Judah on purpose though, lol

[MARKBNLV]

I am a fan of neither so i hope they bash each others brains in.

I have to agree. He hit Judah on purpose though, lol

When that happened i thought Judah was about to ko him.

No it was not. Taylor suffer brain damage in that fight. So is not the same.

Thread fails.

You think he would have been allowed to have any more professional fights if he suffered brain damage in that single fight? You probably weren't even born when Chavez and Taylor fought so STHU. Now go back to trying to educate yourself by watching boxing on YouTube.
