Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Heading Straight To Cotto, Wolak Fight is Off

[KickAzz]

junior ain't ready for cotto. can't believe top rank matchmakers want this fight

[El Rab]

None of those fights have prime Mexican opponents .



Chavez vs Cotto? Ok that's a good one and it's 50-50

Juanma vs Marquez? Are you ****ing serious? Imagine if Baldomir was Puerto Rican and Canelo fighting him would be considered a fight as well?

Calderon vs Segura? Segura isn't even a top Mexican fighter dumbass.

lolololololol

Juanma should beat Marquez. He's a prime fighter fighting a smaller, past his prime opponent. He's an embarrassment if he doesn't.

Calderon will beat Segura as the fight is in Puerto Rico and Calderon will have his track shoes on and run like the little puto that he is.

Yuri Foreman a better boxer then Chavez Jr? What does that have to do with anything? Yuri was never a good puncher. Chavez's size and much more improved conditioning will allow him to take Cotto's shots , especially at 154. Cotto is getting stopped here.

I was surprised at Chavez's improvement, especially in that little time. I will admit that Cotto did have a lot more left then I thought, but Yuri ain't much of a puncher and he ain't that durable. Actually I think I may have overestimated Yuri. However, Chavez at this point can only get better. I see Chavez takin' his shots while Cotto not being able to take his, especially as the rounds go by. The size is gonna play a huge role; Chavez will be considerably bigger fight night and unlike Foreman, Chavez Jr. will take advantage of what little Cotto has left.

You have some very good points of view that i have been thinkin of also when this fight was 1st mentioned. Although I beleive Cotto will win I don not believe it will be a easy fight.

JCCJ youth, good corner, size, power (although not the greatest power but he has been fighting 160's), will be in his favor. It is yet to see if he can take body punches from Cotto although it is yet to see how Cotto's power can affect a guy that has been fighting bigger and probably stronger opponents than Cotto. Not saying that any of his opponents is better than Cotto, but a Great power of a natural 147 can be equal to average power of a natural 160. We need to see how will his conditioning be for the fight at 154 although he does have a good trainer in Ariza.

On the other hand Cotto's advantage will be his quick hands, counter punching, boxing skills, body punching and experience.

Same as JCCJ, we need to see how Cotto takes the decent power of a 160 lb.

With all this said, Cotto should win by UD or KO in the later rounds because of the accumulation of body punching slowing Chavez down but i don't see it as a piece of cake for Cotto.

look cotta fans i dig porta ricans and respect their boxing but there comes a time when u have to let go. how many brutal ass whoopings must cotto take before u realize hes as shot as shot comes. in his last fight he got very lucky foreman hurt his ankle nothing more. u guys should respect jr while he isnt a pacman he cerainly is a good solid fighter . jr beats his ass easily . mark my words, its time u guys respected jr.it doesnt take a genious or boxing expert to realize cotto is damaged goods ,hell even in his prime hed be one step away from losing the guy has taken beatings like ive never seen. hes a nice guy very cool but its time for him to retire.

Come on dude, are you serious? Cotto was whooping his ass even before Yuri hurt his knee

[ralph22]

well he is about to go to court in mexico he needs to pay some money to his uncles and i heard sr is with uncles and its a mess in the chavez family he cant concentrate on a training camp right now with all this family issues.on the other hand he was supose to fight sep11 on the 13 he was flying to the philipines to be pacquiao's sparring partner he was not going to have time to rest.he should have a FULL camp.4 weeks is not enough not even for 10 round fights

The bolded is a notion I don't agree with.

I see so many people say that Cotto is only effective going forward and I disagree.

Cotto is at his best when he's boxing...not boxing off his back foot, but boxing.

Think about how he fought against Mosley...and even Gomez. He wasn't bullying Gomez, but he was boxing him laterally with sharp, accurate punches.

To me, that's the style that is Cotto is most effective employing. When he's bullying he gets reckless and he doesn't have the punch resistance anymore to do that.

I Agree!!
He has very good counter punching hability, very good jab even when moving backward. I just hate when he stays against the ropes exchanging blows and in the process getting hit by punches that can be avoid, but i guess that's what make him so atractive to boxing fans out of his fan base. Everybody like to see KO and blood in boxing matches and that's what you always get in Cotto's fight, win or lose.

For Jr's sake i hope they're talking about jose cotto and not miguel, this dude had trouble with matt freakin vanda and he thinks he will beat cotto ?? Hillarious...cotto has lost a bit but damn not that much, i can still remember 10 minutes ago everyone thought by some miracle cotto could beat floyd, now he might loose to chavez jr ??? I'm not even sure he'd beat wolak, poor kid i'd almost give his dad a better chance. Well i wish him luck...someone better get roach a check up, he also thinks that lateef dude will be champ by the end of the year.
