Judah vs Cotto

[Slipx]

cotto is still the future of boxing

lmao at that, maybe in puerto rico..he definately won't be anything like his other latino great, chavez..he'll be a vargas no doubt

Cotto is just like Calzaghe/Hatton, sure they are undefeated, but they face inferior opposition to build their records up to that 20+ -0 level, and when they go up against a guy from the US with that same record, that's been fighting philly pugilists from his first fight, you are gonna have a problem with ring experience, and that's the bottom line.

The one thing in common with all these fighters is that at times, if you watch the fights carefully, you will notice small things that show you just how inexperienced they are.

Take Calzaghe for example, he's an undefeated invincible beast, until he faces his first 'real' opponent from the US, Byron Mitchell. Calzaghe suffers his first career knockdown in the second round of this fight.

Also there were glimpses of inexperience when he fought Sheika, not even considered a 'good' fighter by most here, he should have blown shieka out of the water in the first or second round, and he didnt.

And last night we all saw what Corely did to Cotto, however the punch Corely landed was really a lucky shot. If they were to have a rematch, I highly doubt he'd land that punch again. The punch Corely landed used leverage from Cotto in the same way Jackson did from Graham (left image in my sig), Graham was teeing off on Jackson and Jackson let that right hand go..BAM, lights out. Rarely do you see a beautiful shot like that where the punch is landed with the combined leverage of the 2 fighters.

lol

Judah wins the fight I think, but with Judah's chin, which isn't great in my opinion, Cotto has a shot.

I think moving up to 147 might actually make Cotto more powerful, in a sense, because he will have more stamina and be able to take shots better.

nah, I don't think he'd do well at 147. He won't be able to bully welterweights like he's doing the juniors. From what I've seen in cotto is just form and power. He'll need a lot more than that at a higher weight. ****, you'll have DLH, Mosely, Cintron, Marguarito, Judah, Tszyu (soon I hope) **** that he'll never make it this early in his career. lol can you imagine Marguarito's 73" reach against his 67". Oh man he'll get eaten alive.

I dont think cotto's chin would be a factor in this fight. I think Judah would box circles around Cotto, potshotting while Cotto patiently stalks.

I think Judah is up on the cards throughout the fight. maybe cotto could wear him down to the body, maybe someone fails a
chin-test.

just as that 3rd round punch may be overrated. So is that concept that Cotto dominated that other rounds of that fight. I had it pretty much even on the cards going into rd 4. Emmanuel steward pointed out that even if Corley lands 5 shots to one, he'd still lose this fight. He landed a lot of shots due to his speed, just wonder what Zab should be able to do.

Both of these guys chins are underrated. Cotto got caught by a punch he didnt see and most fighters are going to fail a test from the Tzsyu right hand.

Judah W12 over Cotto

Judah

Judah will KO Cotto. But Cotto could also KO Judah.

BRILLIANT

Cotto would win there is way to much talk about that punch. First off it was only because it was not seen lots of other clean shots landed and did nothing. Also Cotto usually does not come out like that. Judah would not be able to take his shots with his chin, he is not ready for Zoo but to say Cotto has a bad chin is crap it was a big unseen shot that could happen to anyone.
