Cotto Is Not 5' 8"...WTF?

[Guest]

Yeah Cotto is a midget.

He fought well last night though and didn't keep his legs so far apart when throwing shots so he did fight taller last night.

Did you notice despite being a midget, he had a longer reach than Foreman?

He looked like a lil tank tho. I think he can beat Angulo and Spinks at 154.

I agree. Him beating anyone else at 154 would be something to see.

Yeah, and Yuri hunches and leans in too much. Easy to hit.

They were talking about how he fights low. They said Stewart was trying to make him fight taller.

^^^^^^^Cosign....I don't know if you guys caught that. They weren't saying that cotto shrinks to 5'6". They said that he crouches/ fights low and that when he does that his 5'8" frame goes to as low as 5'6". They didn't say that he actually shrinks in stature to 5'6.

The funny thing is people wanted to see Pac vs Yuri. Yet Pac had to look up to Cotto and Cotto had to look up to Yuri. Can you imagine the height mismatch it would of been if Pac fought Yuri? I'm not saying he couldn't have beaten the guy because Yuri looked pretty damn mediocre in there, but it might of been a freak show.

Waz up man? Cotto is about 1/2" to an inch taller than Pac, but I get what you're saying.

Hell yeah Cotto can. Angulo chin hasn't really been tested. Angulo will bring the fight out of Cotto and get KO'd.

I think HBO adds an inch to all the short fighters tbh. I think Floyd, Cotto, are really 5'7 and Pac, Hatton are closer to 5'5. Just a guess...

HBO always have the worst stats for their tale of the tape, including height and reach advantage, the listed I think Mosley at 5'9 when his entire life he's been listed as 5'8, same with Cotto sometimes 5'8 when he is really a short 5'7, a little bit over 5'6 1/2, I saw another fights when Williams was fighting I think Martinez or Quintana, I don't remember which fight especifically but supposedly the other boxer had some reach advantage on Williams when obviously it wasn't true.

they have williams as 6'1 when he's really about 6'3

Can't stand that either... Cotto is 5' 6 1/2 though.
