Gatti vs. Cotto

[Mr. Violence]

No contest Gatti would decapitate him.

Gatti has looked better latley but I just cant see him betting Maywaether, Cotto or any real top notch boxer. I'd even say Corley would outbox him pretty easily.

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

I think Cotto would win.

The punch Corley hurt him was a good shot landed on his temple and didnt see it.

Cotto's offense would be too much for Gatti imo. I also think his youth and will would win it for him.

Gatti has a lot of power (probably more than Cotto) however i dont think Gatti's staying power is still there and if the fight gets tough he'll quit mentally. Too many wars.

I still say Cotto beats Gatti last nights performance wasn't that great but he was starting to really take over in the fight. I think if the fight had not been stopped it would of eventually became one-sided in Cotto's favor.

decapitate him? decapitate him?

Gatti hasnt seen real talent since DelaHoya in '01.

Yea he had legendary fights with Ward, but those were clubfights. Then what? Branco, Dorin,..Leija? I know Cotto hasnt taken on the biggest challengs, but Corley is better than anyone Gatti's fought since DLH.

HBO doesnt even believe all the Gatti hype their spreading.

I've already said what I thought of Cotto-Corley in other threads. I'm no Cotto fan at all.

finally,

Gatti is bleeding by Rd 3. Fight is stopped after Gatti goes down in the 9th RD after 2 consecutive KDs to the body.

Cotto would not be able to handle gatti's punches....Gatti will destroy him, but i still want to see this fight happen and see how cotto reacts..and i want to see him get tested...he should take this fight as soon as possible just to prove himself.

Cotto would hurt Gatti early and slow down his shots and Gatti is not hard to hit.

Possible. Or Gatti keeps him at bay, making Cotto reach for his punches and getting caugth with a right hand counter on the temple. KO.

hmm

Wow...talk about an overstatement. First off let's get something straight. That time Gatti lasted vs DLH, Cotto would probably last half that time at this point in his career.

Gatti is as big or even a little bit bigger than Cotto. He has a better reach and equal or more power. In no way does Cotto outclass Gatti. If anything, you would have to work to make a case to say that Cotto is as good as Gatti right now.

You act like Branco, Dorin, and Leija are nobodies. Leija had just come off a big upset win over Bojado. Branco proved to be a good contender in there with Gatti. Just because you had never heard of him that doesn't mean he was no good.

Now let's get to Dorin. You are a fool if you think this little man isn't good. Dorin beat Spaddy in most people's eyes, he beat Augustus, Balbi twice (badly) and took Balbi out of his prime in ONE FIGHT. Dorin is a brutal little man and an olympic champion so don't disrespect. He is as good as anyone Cotto has fought.

I think Gatti would beat Cotto, but it would be rough. You say Gatti can't handle Cotto's offense? What exactly makes you think Cotto can handle Gatti's offense? Cotto has been hurt by Sosa, possibly N'dou, and DEFINITELY Corley (no matter where the shot landed). If Corley can do that, well, you know what Gatti can do.

Coming right at Gatti= bad idea for Cotto.

well lets not forget that Gatti was fighting his 37th fight VS DLH, I believe Miguel Cotto is only at 23. Gatti also only made it 5 rounds, so its not like he almost went the distance. the man got beat down.

but this is a different Gatti now. Gatti the boxer. too bad he's only tested this style 4 times. Ward was the only one of the 4 with the ability to hurt Gatti.

I knew plenty about Branco before their fight. I also saw him land plenty of rights on Gatti, the man just had no pop in his punch(only 17 KOs in 34 fights). and if i'm not mistaken, gatti's face wasnt spotless after that fight.

Dorin and Leija were just too damn small. Yea Leija had that upset against Bojado, but I think someone else beat Jesse James to the punch on that accomplishment(Rubio). plus leija was a boxer with one of his feet already out the door, looking for something magical(ala corrie sanders VS v. klitschko)

I think you are a fool if you think Corley couldnt beat Branco, Dorin, or Leija. He's alreayd held his own with Mayweather and Judah.

and i never said anything about either boxer dealing with eachothers offense. you need to check those eyes.
but if I were you i'd stop listing the fighters that have/have not hurt Cotto. do you realize how many fighters have had Gatti hurt..get real. my fingers would fall off before i was done putting that list together.
