Cotto Overrated?

[borikua]

Cotto ain't **** until he fights a real name...

Who did Abdullaev ever beat???

The only person I know he beat is Cotto...

I'm not sayin Cotto ain't talented, and he does have lots of potential...

The only way to get a big name is by fighting big names which I hope he does next...

Man you're full of ****, are you still mad cuz you lost your lunch money over this fight?

Who did Abdullaev beat? Everyone at the 2000 Olympics and all but one of his prior opponents most of them by ko...

You can also "get a big name" by showing skills against "good" fighters....Aren't Taylor and Lacy "big names" already?

LMFAO, LOOK AT HIS FACE.

Borikua, you won your 10 million fair and square and after June 25th you're going to lose 50 million. Make sure you have my points ready.

and for right now, until his next opponent is named...Cotto is the truth.

Seriously, Cotto could KO Viv Harris in 5 rounds and he'd probably get the same bull**** from the same people. "Cotto just beat one of the most dangerous fighters in the division, but he looked like **** and he was afraid and his power was average and Harris hasn't beaten anyone anyway and he sucks for taking 5 rounds to do it and the ref stopped the fight too early and blahblahblah."


If that wasn't a good win last night then NOBODY at 140 owns an impressive win over ANYBODY else in the division.

I think youre right about that. Thankfully with Abdullaev quitting like that there is no 'ref stopped it too early' to deal with...theres that much atleast! For some, nothing will ever be enough, but for those of us that like him, he did just fine last night. I cant wait to see him fight again!!

Ya I Know...It will take a miracle for me to win that bet...Are you going to give me some odds?

No, man...**** off...








Lol, nah, I'm just kidding. Since you did agree to take the bet straight up, I guess I can give you odds. 2-1 sounds good?

I dont hate Cotto cuz of the money thing, I only lost $5..
I don't even hate Cotto you idiot...
but he ain't on the same level as Gomez or Benitez...

I said if he steps his competition up now, then he will be on their level if he wins....

Abdullaev beat everyone at the olympics but what has he done as a pro? He is a good fighter but nothing special...

Taylor and Lacy aren't big names, they are prospects but they ain't big names...they have not done anythin special yet...

If Taylor beats Wright, Hopkins, etc. then he can be a big name....

When Lacy beats Calzaghe which he will then he will be a big name...

Anyone can beat up on "good" fighters but it's how u beat the best fighters...

[borikua]

No, man...**** off...

Kid you're makin a fool of yourself right now...How the hell Cotto could be on the same level as Gomez and Benitez with only 24 pro fights? How the **** can he be on their level if he wins his next fight with an elite fighter?

You are not makin any sense kid...

I don't think Cotto is overrated. He's still very raw and can do many things well, not just a single thing great. He has physical tools, discpline, and the brains. The problem is how you put all the parts together and build a good package.

He really doesn't have distinct style or type of fight style. He just changes game plans accordingly to his opponents and sometimes that means he'll get wins but not dominant them. People expect to see a dominant fighter were the other fighters have to adjust to Cotto but Cotto does just enought to win. His last fight with Adu, he was in control throughout the fightby a little bit but he didn't own the guy.

He really needs a dominant punch or a power hand so opponents respect him more so they don't attack him head on. He's pretty much like Sugar Shane Mosley but a slowed down version.

Cotto isn't going to be an all time great. He's a future champ but everytime I see him fight he doesn't pull it all together. He does some new stuff that is impressive but doesn't blow away the competition, no killer instincts. I not sure if that is his game plan or if he's playing it safe but he has no killer instinct. He seems very robotic.
