Did you know that Ivan Calderon defeated Cotto back in the day??

He whooped Mosley and Oscar both when Oscar was fighting Floyd in 2007. The people who saw it said it was embarrasing!!

Calderon did not WHOOP on them. He just do what he does best and thats move and evade swiftly. Roach just said Calderon made Delahoya look ****** cause he couldnt catch him. Thats what Iron boy is good at making people miss and look ******. But he doesnt whoop on them, he throws a combo and get outta there. Beautiful work he does but him whooping on Delahoya or Mosley aint happen.

I heard an interview they made to Calderon b4 his last fight he said that he did put a clinic on Cotto whenever they sparred. But that was then Cotto was like 13 or something, to bad he can't ko a baby

Yes he did years ago.When cotto was a skeleton skinny.They're practically good close friends,at one point he was going to use calderon as a sparring partner for pacquiao,till calderon's gash opened in the moyel fight.

when was cotto skeleton skinny didnt he say he used to be fat

Sparring is much different. Williams has beaten up guys like Glen Johnson in sparring...but lost to a smaller guy like Quintana. Styles make fights. I'm pretty small at 5 8 157 and spar with a 5 11 240lbs HW and I actually win rounds against him in sparring. But in a real boxing match, no question he would KO me easily. Sparring is a whole different thing.

I agree 100%. I hope you don't think my post was implying that Calderon would beat those bigger guys at higher weights. I just posted to in response to those flyweights over powering him when he has been up against bigger men. Simulating is the best tool in boxing and if you prepare against larger men that hit harder, then chances are you won't be in for a shock when you face bigger punchers in your own class.

Bigger guys use smaller fighters like calderon etc to stimulate and get use to faster fighters, and smaller men use larger fighters when they are facing big punchers. This is pretty much the only point I was making in my comment.

the average weight for 11-12 yrs old boy is 77 lbs-100 lbs. Overweight could be 150 at that time.

On paper sure, but we are boxing fanatics so you know better than that to rely on numbers.
