Comments Thread For: Ariza: Chavez Will Overpower Miguel Cotto Like Margarito

[ralph22]

I don't think Height will be much of a problem for Cotto. Like I said before Cotto's kryptonite will be pressure and high volume punchers with Iron Chins. If Chavez can keep coming foward all night swinging and smothering Cotto then He can take it. But If he lets Cotto breathe then I can see Miguel taking this kid to school. Another thing this kid has problems making weight how the hell is he gonna make 154? oh yea I forgot he has Ariza.

cotto does well against fighters that wait that are patient that move and box but guys like margo(plaster or not) pacquiao zab judah intil he got it 2x's in the BALLS.mark my words cotto cant handle presurewhen you have fighters that do that you have to do some clinching

If Tony not had the PLASTER OF PARIS hand wraps, he would of fallen just the same as he did (without his PLASTER OF PARIS) when he fought and got KTFO by SSM.

*yawn* *yawn*

Si el Jr le gana al Cotto, JCC jr >>>> Canelo x1000000

I would of rather seen Berto vs. Cotto.....this is not a smart move for Cotto. If he wins he would not gain much props given the kid hasn't been tested yet by a top opponent. If he loses...well he might as well retire. Bad way to follow up a good performance against Foreman.

The only outboxing Cotto did was going to the head. A lot of you people just can't seem to count body punches these days. *sigh*

If Cotto was really outboxing Tony, he wouldn't of gotten hit so much to the body.

During the 1st 6 rounds (Majority of rounds btw because of how many round the fight last) althought getting hit, Cotto was dominating that fight by landing more jabs and power punches than Margarito by far. The only reason that I beleive that Cotto didn't go to the body as much is because it seem to be very easy for Cotto to **** Margarito's head which didn't do as much damage because of Margaritos's chin. He should had gone to the body more, I agree and we all know that Margarito's defense is not great.
After those rounds, than Cotto started to feel the effects of Margarito's continues blows, which should had been avoided by Cotto boxing skills and quick hands, just by going in and out instead of staying an exchanging especially on the ropes. With or without the plaster, Cotto could had won that fight if he would had avoided lots of those exchanges. He did prove he can beat Margarito with a proper gameplan and is he sticks to it. However there will always be a cloud of doubt over that fight because of the plaster issue and the effect that it might have had on the outcome of the fight.

chavez and power dont belong in the same sentance lmao
but i hope chavez jr takes it!!!

Chavez power might not be great at his current weight but if you have Chavez current power at 147 it could be very dangerous and that's what Chaves wll be facing. Althouh the fight will be at 154, I don't see Cotto as a legit 154 yet.Cotto can not come over confident with this JCCJ nor his power.

I don't think Height will be much of a problem for Cotto. Like I said before Cotto's kryptonite will be pressure and high volume punchers with Iron Chins.

I hope you are right about the height issue but 5" of height and more than and 6" reach makes a difference. It might take several round for Cotto to study and find a way to get to Chavez without getting hit and I'm pretty sure Roach will tried to use this advantage as much possible during the fight.

Majority of the rounds BTW because of how many rounds the fight last??? The fight ended in the 11th.
By far?? That's why by the 8th round Cotto has taken as many power punches than any other fight? Including Mosley. lol

No it's because he didn't find an opening. COTTO HAS SAID IT HIMSELF. In interviews after the fight. Maybe you all were too busy accusing him of steroids to actually know.

After those rounds, than Cotto started to feel the effects of Margarito's continues blows, which should had been avoided by Cotto boxing skills and quick hands, just by going in and out instead of staying an exchanging especially on the ropes.

Margarito is just the wrong opponent/style for Cotto. Plaster or not. Only reason I pick Cotto over the same style in Williams is cause Williams leaves his body too open for that "Saca Pedos". Something Margarito doesn't vs Cotto.

I agree with what you said about Margarito although I do think in a rematch Cotto can possibly beat Margarito and vice versa they both have wear and tear plus Margarito hasn't been active much. But as far as the Judah fight He would've beaten Judah with or without low blows. Zab doesn't have heart and is only good for 5 or 6 rounds.

[kingfaze19]

cotto will knock him out the ring, or make him jump out kermit cintron style.

this guy ariza just tryna make chavezjr get some confidence going on in his head, but he is going from fighting a whole flock of nobodies to face cotto, a warrior whose fought the best out there.. il take cotto by a left hook to the gut round 9

[MarkKO]

Hahahahahahahahaha

Yeah sure...
