    Wats up my ***ish brother.
    I meant that PBF is overated at Jr. Welter. He was the best in lighter weights but I dont think that he can beat Zoo or even Cotto.

I don't think I'm the only one who thinks Cotto will drop like a ton of bricks once he gets in with a legit Top 10 opponent. HBO wanted Cotto to face Pinto because it looks like he was able to survive a real punching threat on his record. Hatton would easily outsell Cotto in America...NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!

      Well, as far as Cotto tiring easily....I haven't seen any fight that gave me that indication as he is easily one of the most cool, calm, composed fighters in boxing today. He's like Barrera...his expression never changes. If you are referring to the N'Dou fight, well sure, N'Dou makes every fight look bad. He's also never gone the full 12 before...he was probably a little winded but he was still landing crisp punches and never looked sloppy. He can't box? Have you seen the man's punching? He is a great counter puncher...has a solid jab, and puts his punches together very well. He threw some sick combinations against Sosa. He also cuts the ring off very well and the only knock against his boxing that I have is that he's a little left hook happy...but that'll change. He also does a great job of setting his opponents up and breaking them down. He throws to the body well and has a sweet left hook.

      I dunno about his chin, it's relatively untested...the verdict is out for everyone. He has taken good shots from N'Dou and from Maussa if I recall correctly, ate them, and kept on comin. It seems solid enough.

      Survive a punching threat? I don't understand. Do you mean they wanted it to look like he faced a dangerous puncher but thats not the case?

      The only reason Hatton would EVER sell more tickets in America than Cotto is because he's a Gatti like fighter. Once Hatton is beaten and his defense is exposed he won't be on anyone's mind. That's if he even COMES TO AMERICA!!!

          Har Har!!

          I joined boxingscene two months before his fight with Garr...YIKES! His "win" over Garr was nothing compared to his "win" over 8-2 Patrick Thompson two weeks ago.

            Well Mayweather knocked Corley down 5 times and Corley whooped Bailey who is now scheduled to fight Cotto. If Judah can do well at 140-145 I think FBF should be fine. I would take Salita or Mailignaggi over Cotto but thats just me. ***S UNITE!

              I would say me, I'm very overrated. People call me the King of The Ring sometimes, and speak of me as if I'm some kind of God of boxing, it's pretty scary, but um yeah...I still think I have room to get better as shocking as it may sound to all of you guys who are fans of mine, and to the women who are hoochies of mine..

                I say Ricky is overrated with padded rec. Have yet to see him fight in the mecca of boxing. Heard he will fight KT in his hometurf. The guy maybe suffering from US ALLERGY SYNDROME.

                  Actually he's fought in the US three times. I saw him in his 2nd pro fight at MSG so I'm not quite sure what your talking about.

                    Phillip N'dou was overrated. So is Isaac Hlatshyawo. They're not the most overrated, though. I guess I'll go with...Spinks. I suppose. He's beaten Zab Judah and Ricardo Mayorga, of course, but I thought they were overrated too. Actually...I thought Vernon Forrest had been overrated. I guess there's just something about welterweights.
