Comments Thread For: Arum: Cotto's Surgery Won't Postpone Chavez Battle

[taino78]

im positive that roach will want jr to make cotto use that arm a lot. whether hes blocking or throwing a punch. thats the smart thing to do, make it a long night. but is cottos surgery/recovery as serious its made out to be. if miguel is going foward with the fight. then that says hes fine, hes real at heart and will not go if he didnt feel comfortable. absolutely no excuses.

Damn, I want to go so bad. I wish I lived closer to New York because I can't afford two trips there in just a 6 month period.

I think roach will definitely target that arm to see if there is any weakness there, but the game plan will probably stay the same for the most part.

personally, I think cotto is nuts to go through with the fight but he has a ready made excuse if he loses.

also, chavez better beat a one handed cotto.

Everyone needs to STFU about Arum running Cotto's career, he isn't. I think it was an article on here that Arum stated Todd Debouff (Top Rank's future owner) is running Cotto's career and has his ENTIRE career. Cotto had the surgery a month ago and it was minor, he would have had well over 6 weeks to rest it he'll be fine for training camp.

Chavez Jr. is now a sacrificial lamb for Cotto`s resurrection.

Pacquiao seems to be a sacrificial lamb for Margarito`s resurrection.

All in favor of Bob.

You really think Arum is using his #1 earner to set up Margarito's comeback? Seriously?

Cotto needs to cancel the fight and simply wait until he heals and fight a better tougher opponent. That would be my solution.

Cotto take your time brotha don't listen to that old **** Arum.

I really liked his dad and haven't seen much of him.

Cotto should win with comfort.

I am confident that Steward will have the answer to any problem Cotto has,plus he is truly southpaw,which will make his left be extremely effective like when he fought Foreman..I think he was feeling pain already by then..And chavez jr aint nothing close to Foreman,even if Roach does come out with a good gameplan,Steward will be there to say "do exactly this mr.cotto"and Cotto will respond and act to it..Chavez has similiarities to Margarito but I doubt he would handle left hooks to the body!!Cotto never threw left body hooks to the body to neither Pacquiao nor Margarito,review the fights...Steward said in an interview that one of his main concerns was bringing the money punch back to its place...Left hook to the body all night chavez,.,be ready mo'****er!!Cause Cotto is BACK in the game,and ready to eliminate anyones "0"from their record..Steward will be there the next four fights..And if no one was impressed with the foreman fight,remember that WAS the gameplan,and it didn't last long did it?Since Evangelista left he hasn't been using his old skills instead he has been trying to box to perfection with full combinations but none leading with that left hook..NOTICED?.mistake!!!Cause he is a brawler and he has to brawl like before to get it done!!!Cotto Fan,big time!!WAR COOOTTOOOOO!!!Cotto will be ready,Steward transformed a glass chin guy,to a master jabber with great defense..Wladimir...He has trained alot of boxers but Cotto is special,he even says it..Cotto will transform u watch!!!!Chavez aint **** and if you think roach can change him,well remember that filipino Juanma fought,trained by roach..KO...roach is only good training Pacman,thats it...Even Khan has his deadline with either Bradley or Marquez or even Maidana.Cotto got this

I've had arthroscopic surgery on my left shoulder before. 4 months is enough time to heal IMO, but then again I didn't train to go to war after it either.
