    this bull**** bandwagon crap i've been seeing is ridiculous. Tito loses, oh, he's overrated (despite all his amazing accomplishments). Now Tszyu loses, and he's overrated (despite his overwhelming dominance and p4p position). Go to baseball and hang w/ the yankee bandwagon morons.

      Cotto needs to step up in weight class. There is just something not right with coming in to the fight 17 pounds over the weight limit. I know its legal, but why does he need to put on that much weight? Either he feels better near 160 lbs (step up in weight class) or he knows he can not compete at this level with out being able to throw his weight around.

      when Cotto beats someone like Tzsyu or Corrales then he has a claim to the highest spot in the division.

          You're also keep forgetting that Cotto has a fight coming up.

          How come no one listens...
          THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE UPSETS!

          Abdulayev KO Cotto! I haven't been wrong in any predictions since I joined.

            Cotto wont be a good fighter ever, he got rocked by a guy who was 20 pounds lighter than him, and a guy whos not known to hit hard. Now imagine like Gatti or Zab hitting him. **** Diego Corrales would lay him out.
            As I recall, Chop Chop also rocked Mayweather. Let's not forget that. Still, I do believe Mayweather would beat Cotto by UD.

              I am with you on this. Tszyu is no fraud. Just remember he is 35 (nearly 36) years old. He is a champion and has a great Legacy (runined a little by not retiring when he started getting injured). He was never over rated. Infact I think he was somewhat under-rated for much of his career. He is an aging champion just like De La Hoya, Chavez (was), Trinidad etc.. Does that make every great champion a fraud?

                About Cottos chin, come on, he'll mature from that fight...

                Anybody remember saying Hatton got knocked down by Magee so he has a glass jaw?? Tszyu landed lots of hard right hands and didnt do **** to Hatton...

                Just wait and time will tell...

                I don't think he's best in the division
                The best would be Floyd Mayweather Jr.

                Vicious Vivian Harris has got Emanuel Steward trainin him now so I think Manny might take him to the top......

                  Its Mayweathers division now i think if Gatti dont KO him. Its not fair to say that Cotto got a glass chin..Corely hits pretty hard he wabbled Mayweather, Anyone can get rocked by a punch you dont see. Cotto is up there with the top guys in the division, its ab awesome divison where the number 10 ranked guy has a chance at beating the number 1 ranked guy. I think its the most talented division in boxing right now.

                    That's not all that uncommon. Gatti does the same thing

                      Cotto is a joke. They way he was dimissing Hatton's chances of victory. Who is laugjing now, punk?

                      I also dont have time for this KT is over-rated **** we are hearing from ****** Yanks. KT deserves his reputation as a grat boxer, one of the best in our generation. Read his frank comments about his defeat to Hatton. This is a honest, decent man. Gracious in defeat. Sir, I salute you.
