Isn't hilarious how Cotto now sucks?

[ELHURACAN58]

the cotto that fought pacman would beat almost anyone in the welters

Nope never. If there is someone who is fast or a good counter puncher, Cotto gets beat.

Now the Cotto that fought Mosley would at least have a better chance of beating Pacquiao and would definetly beat most of the guys at welter.

The Cotto that fought Mosley knew he was getting in the ring with someone bigger, who had fought bigger guys, and was known to be faster, so Cotto jabbed him and boxed catiously save for some short moments.

On the other hand, Cotto thought he could bully Pacquiao into submission, and save for the first round, and the 8th and 9th, where he was already on his heels anyway, Cotto started to trade with him, and that was his downfall.

Thats not smart, and this version of Cotto would lose against any fighter with smart trainers. I think Pacquiao's history of fighting smaller men influenced heavily his decision and gameplan in the Pacquiao fight.

He didn't look like he was tarnished when he fought Clottey and he certainly didn't look tarnished in the first 4 to 5 rounds against Manny. I'm not saying that you're making excuses, but i don't want to here **** excuses like this to tarnish Manny's win against Cotto or to tarnish Cotto. That would be completely BS.

Good Answer. When a fighter loses they always say he needs to retire or fighter is damaged. Cotto looked pretty good against Manny first 5 rounds despite the knockdowns. Remember Hatton got KO'D in 2nd rd and went on to beat Malinaggi.

It seems like there are more *****s than the ones that voted. Why so many dumb posts? The way they post you'd think the consensus was with them. LOL hahahahaha!

People who say that are ****ing ******. Cotto is a great fighter, a great man, and he's great for the sport.

Cotto and Ricky Hatton suck to all these morons on here, the fact are both only lost twice to very good opponents, even the greatest of all time lost some fights

Do you think his corner/training is responsible for alot of this?

[Impervious]

Don't you know yet? When someone you don't want to win, wins. Its because the other guy "was never good" or "is washed up!"

Same old story that has been going on for centuries.

Only 1 word needs to describe it.

Jeaolusy.

[ELHURACAN58]

Do you think his corner/training is responsible for alot of this?

Not his training, yes his corner.

It was proven in an interview, Santiago was shocked at Pacquiaos power, he clearly underestimated Pacquiao. You can never underestimate anyone, not even a journeyman, so his corner failed at getting Cotto the right gameplan to fight Pacquiao.

Idiot man groppies in this site behave like 13 year old girls. All of the morons ****ting on Cotto are ******ed Floyd groppies that are enfatuated with one man and don't care about boxing. They are just jealous of Manny's success and want to **** on it by downgrading his opponents.

The difference between Floyd and Cotto is that Cotto wanted to proved he was the best unlike Floyd who wants people to perceive that he's the best. This is what happens when you challenge yourself sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. Cotto is a great fighter he was just beaten by a greater fighter, it's a simple as that.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Then you haven't seen the million ***** topics.

People saying I knew Cotto was never good and **** like that, when Cotto has one of the best resumes at WW.

Thats because they're *****s.


They think that because Manny beat Miguel,

it somehow takes the sting out of Floyd ducking Cotto.

It doesn't, it stings even more as now there is another conquered fighter that could have been Floyds,

but belongs to someone else.

Shane and Pacquiao.
