More Skilled, Calzaghe or Cotto?

[goblin213]

Cotto might be that more fundamentally sound boxer but Calzaghe is way more craftier and can adapt something Cotto has trouble doing. Cotto only way of adapting is getting on the bicycle and circle the ring while Joe can tie up, slap, etc.

Calzaghe has been getting some love here recently.

As a Calzaghe fan I find it shocking. Normally, he is getting torn to pieces.

Cotto has more skill, but Calzaghe had the heart and determination! He beat Hopkins, enough said!!

I think Cotto has more skill but if they were the same size Calzaghe would probably beat him.

He just finds a way.

Calzaghe was terrible against Hopkins and he still won. He shortened up his punches and just stabbed at 'Nard like he was holding a bayonnet after the first four rounds when it was looking bad. He found a way.

I would've loved to see Calzaghe faced with more adversity though because that's when he showed greatness. Even his KO of Byron Mitchell was great - Joe was very close to getting KO'd in that one.

Cotto is technically better and punches straighter, Calzaghe had more tools in his arsenal.

[AnimalisticMeth]

Cotto has better boxing skills. His jab alone is miles better than Calzaghe.

Cotto. Atleast he knew how to throw a proper punch, unlike Calzaghe.

why isnt there an even vote?

joe ability to throw volumes of punching while not getting hit and keeping his fluid upper body and foot movement is amazing. most vulume punchers throw but take damage jo throws constanlty but keeps the movement going. his stamina and his abilityt o take it it into another gear when needed is good too very tough. underated footwork.

cotto throws very technical punches his placement is sick an accurate. he has a great jab and when his feet is planted he punches with the best he has undderated speed and his timing is great.

joe punch placement isnt that great reason why he throws volumes of punches.
and because of his bad hands he doesnt really punch hard more like chopping punches.

cotto squares up alot when he get into gun fights which causes him to take punches
and he also leans in past his lead foot which leaves him open to uppercuts. when his feet is planted and his punches short working behind the jab he was a champion.
