Miguel Cotto = Fernando Vargas

[-PANDA-]

Where the f@ck is all this Winky Wright is a hall of famer **** coming from!?!?!?!?

winky is a future hall of famer and one of the best defensive fighters ever to make 154 pounds

best believe that

Cotto is much more humble then Vargas. Yes that is true. But career wise he is in the same boat as Vargas. Balloning in Weight between fights, and getting a beat down in the 2 biggest fights in his career. Cotto probably has more gas in the tank physically then Vargas, but where is the man at mentally as a fighter. He took 2 extraordinary beatings, and he had 2 other really hard fights against Mosley and Clottey. Like I said we shall see. I want to see Cotto do well, he is a good fighter. But not getting a real trainer is not a good sign.

TS, I can see some of your comparisons and it speaks to both fighters courage and willingness to get in with the best but Miguel is not done yet.

I think he will beat Yuri and do so in dominant fashion, lets just wait until he is finished before we compare him to Vargas.

Cotto is the better talent, and fighter. I suppose there is a little comparison but cotto was in my opinion on his way to greatness till that cheating **** margarito. The jennings and clottey performances, and pacquiao loss was a consequence of the margarito loss anyone who knows this sport can see that. Against pacquiao physically miguel was there but he has since lost his edge that made him a top 5 p4per.

I think an undefeated cotto on a roll, pre-margarito goes and builds on the good first round against pac and slams home his advantage, im not saying he would definitely win but it sure as **** wouldn't have been that massacre that it turned into in the second half of the fight. Cotto at very elite level does not believe in himself anymore, and is making those mistakes that only fighters who have lost that edge make, ie, anticipating punches coming back rather than trusting your reflexes and instincts, hesitating, self doubt, most of it is mental but I actually think the hard fights and making weight is starting to catch up with him, he has lost his core strength...at elite level anyway

yeah i've been making comparisons between the two since way back in 2007. Vargas didnt rematch tito and oscar to get revenge but Cotto will comeback and beat Pacquiao in a rematch. you better believe that
