    that's how I feel about him moving up, aside from Yuri and Spinks....Cotto's going to be in a world of trouble if he fights anyone else

      I dont have him beating any of the Top 154 Pounders. Including Foreman.

        Giving a guy crap because he wants to win a title in a third division, that's a new one.

          He's got a right to do it, but everybody has the right not to give him credit for it. Foreman is the weakest champ at 154, and beating him won't tell us anything about Cotto we don't already know. He shines against feather fisted boxers who have a non-aggressive style.

            Thats a good point. Foreman is the weakest champ and even then I still think Foreman will fight tall and out box him. Especially with Steward in his corner.

              Cotto running from WW? He fought damn near everyone.
              If Floyd hadn't run off to retirement-ville, Cotto would have
              taxed that fucker too.

              That article's just pulsing with hate.

                Show me proof he didn't. You see is more credible that he had them bc he already tried to use them. When something does not make sense, it is because it is not true. Tell me this, the Marg that fought SSM would have beaten Cotto? No, Marg did not have anything against SSM, a guy that took six rounds of punishment from Cotto to come back and beat Cotto's face like that could not have done it with out the help. It might sound like I am a Cotto fan and hate Marg, but that is not the case. I was a fan of Marg and a fan of the boxers that go out there and give the fans the fights we want to see. But, unfortunately, for Marg, it does not make sense.

                  I wouldn't exactly call Mosley feather fisted and non-aggressive.

                    Mosley made Cotto ineffective in the late rounds though.

                      How so? Cotto won the 11th and finished the 10th very strong.

                      Neither guy did **** in the 12th. Cotto felt he had the fight wrapped up.

                      Explain how Mosley made Cotto ineffective in the late rounds. I'm curious.
