Cotto Punishes Malignaggi
Sunday June 11, 2006
The battle between undefeated junior welterweights Miguel Cotto and Paulie Malignaggi was billed as power versus speed. Power won. Cotto punished Malignaggi over 12 rounds to retain his WBO title. Malignaggi was dropped in the second round (and may have suffered a broken jaw) but survived everything Cotto dished out the rest of the way in a very game performance. The final scorecards read 115-112, 116-111 and 116-111, all for Cotto.

Cotto has beat the **** out of every opponent that has ever been smaller then him...true.
Pacquiao I feel does not fall into this category of men...He's different..he's fast powerful and the number 1 boxer in the world for a reason.
Cotto will beat him...but surely it won't be the same type of beating he put on Paulie,Branco or any other small guy.Comment

It's easy to judge Malignaggi-Cotto on Malignaggi's face and injuries. But no one says how Cotto only won a decision because he couldn't knock out the smaller, broken jawed Paulie.
No one mentions how Paulie fought back like hell to make the fight closer, and no one mentions how Paulie had a mere 5 knock outs, had no significant names under his resume, and was probably only put there because of his flashy '0' to make Cotto look good.
Despite all of that, Paulie came out with a lot of respect from a lot of boxing fans and had a lot of people wanting to see more of him.
Cotto also got rocked badly by a smaller Corley, and Torres. Both those guys were smaller than Cotto on fight night.Comment

I agree with you but you can turn that around with Marquez fight and say, how can a "boxer" knock down Marquez 3 times and not finish him off?It's easy to judge Malignaggi-Cotto on Malignaggi's face and injuries. But no one says how Cotto only won a decision because he couldn't knock out the smaller, broken jawed Paulie.
