    do you think cotto is a dirty fighter?

    what do you guys think? jsut got into a debate with a friend of mine who thinks hes fights reall dirty. I have noticed Cotto likes to put his forearm on the back of his opponents head and kind of push them down sometimes....and he did kinda body slam Clottey...but other than that what do you think?

      No. A dirty fighter is someone who refuses to take a blood test.

        if you're talking about the Judah fight, the first one didnt look very low to me. It was a little low, but not super low. The 2nd one was extremely low and looked sort of intentional to me.

          He's fairly dirty. Not in the Hopkins/Golota realm, but has used his share of illegal tactics. Most fighters do.

            He is not different than all the other fighters. Some hit with elbows, some punch in the back of the head. All fighters have their own little bad habits. It is normal when you are in the heat of the moment.

                some of his low blows look suspect but overall i dont think he intends to hit low. he just throws a lot of shots to the body.

                the one shot on judah looked intentional though. looked like he wanted to slow judah's work rate with a good shot to the nuts.

                  No hes just badass at times. I wish he would have slammed Pac the way he did Clottey and Urkel tho.

                    Nah. I think it's because he throws a lot of body punches. When he slammed Clottey, I was pretty convinced that wasn't intentional. Clottey sort of landed awkwardly on Cotto and Cotto didn't mean to throw him off the way he did. Never noticed the forearm thing
