    it makes you opinionatedly right. can't see him beating any of these bigger guys at this stage of his game, except maybe judah.

      Cotto is the real deal guys...Cotto and Taylor are the future kings of this sport...

      And Cotto is far away from replacing Tito or to getting to Tito's level but he has all the tools to do it, but it won't be easy...

        That doesn't make you ignorant or right...That's just your opinion, and my opinion is that he beats Zab, Mosley, Gatti, and DLH. He should stay away from Floyd and Margarito for now...

          he's going to have to become a more skilled and powerfull boxer to make up for his 67" reach if he's going to have a chance against mosley and dlh..like i said, even an out of shape dlh would out gun cotto after watching last nights fight. his power is questionable. abdulaev was very hitable and he couldnt knock him down. at 147 he's going to need more power against the bigboys. just my opinion.

            "Abdullaev was very hittable"...you were watching the wrong fight amigo. Abdullaev had his best Winky Wright defense impression going on every place except when Cotto was against the ropes. If anything he was fairly difficult to hit at least cleanly that is.
            He was blocking a lot of punches on his gloves and elbows.

            Hatton is there to be hit, Castillo is there to be hit, N'Dou is there to be hit...Abdullaev, not so much.

              I was pretty impressed with Cotto last night...and I agree that Abdullaev did have a pretty good defense...not a lot of movement on his part though but Cotto showed he has some decent boxing abilities...I think he can hang with any of the other guys at the top of his weight class...

                I think Cotto could be..good or maybe even great..but whenever he stopped moving against Abdulaev..and was back to the ropes..he got hit entirely too much..especially since Abdulaev wasnt throwing alot of punches
