Cotto Overrated?

[norbak1258]

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.[/QUOTE]

This is what I like the most about him, he is very cautiotios, doen not rush into things that might get him in troble. I think he is a vary mature fighter. This will get him a lot farther than most things.

Abbie was a gold medalist, if he was a bum, he was a better quailified bum than 80% of the bums Chavez ate up in his prime years. Fighters normaly go the distance with unknowns, and Cotto wasnt close to losing that fight, whats the problem? Seems the haters viewed him as superman. Shuting one eye isnt good enough these days?

I didnt like the way Cotto backed himself up to the ropes..or let Abdulaev force him there..he took some good body shots while on the ropes...against the top tier guys..he cannot let himself get on the ropes like that and expect not to be beaten badly

"For many years all the leading record books, including both Pugilato and The Ring Record Book, recorded the first loss of Julio Cesar Chavez as being by disqualification....
This has since been changed to a knockout victory for Chavez, based on confirmation from the local boxing commission in Culiacan that it altered the verdict the following day.
Ramon Felix, manager of Chavez, happened to be a member of the Culiacan commission at the time."
