GET 2 KNOW: Miguel Angel Cotto

[borikua]

cotto's improving every fight. a serious focused boxer.he's good for the sport.

any updates about what he's going to do after he beats branco? he seems to be splitting at the seems at 140. will he move up to 147? would his 67 inch reach hinder him against the likes of judah or mosley? would it be a smart move to fight hatton in england? there'd be big money there.is he ready?

I heard that after fighting Branco on Sept 24 he should fight again on November/December....And IMO he should fight Hatton anywhere for the right amount of $$$...

i know this is highly unlikely but i would want to see cotto vs kostya and mayweather vs hatton in a lil tournament. that would be pretty cool and great for boxing

if it works out that hatton stays languishing in england padding his stats with easier fights i think next year he's going to want to pick between corrales,castillo(both would gladly go up in weight) or cotto. imo it would be a win win situation for either three. mayweather has more to loose and would challenge hatton to come over here.even tho i think floyd would school hatton.

What do you mean by good for boxing? You mean those are the people who can make it popular?

Stealthic and finesse this is what i mean good for boxing

cotto - a young guy, but stilll mature, not a idiot, has his head on straight
wright - lost his first fight when he was knocked down 5 times, n if it wasn't for that he would've squeaked out a deciision. loses to harry simon, and a close decision to vargas. than comes back with some wins against mckart twice angel hernandez also robert frazier. n well i mean u can't really explain this on papaer, but he had to wait so dam long to get his chance. like ****in 5 or 6 years. it aint ez man. he was the IBF champ, but no one would give him a chance. i give him credit for staying in the game for that dam long
then beats mosely, ppl said he got lucky, so he says "ill give him a rematch whenver he wants", and he did, and he beat him again
then faces trinidad n ppl thought again, "hell get smashed", n he hammers him... n still he says ill give him a reamtch whenever he wants


klitschkos - smart dudes, who prove that a boxer doesn't have to be an ex-con to be a good fighter
taylor - have to adjust through a lot of **** when he was young.
father ran away from him and his family, also uncle killed his grandma, but look what he has done since then. also , he said himself about his dad " i have nothing against him, ppl make mistakes".
hopkins ( until he retires) - proves that old is gold. old guys can fight jus as well as the younger guys.
40, and counting

Yeah, but like u said, unlikely to happen...I only see Tszyu returning for a rematch against Hatton.

Judah on Cotto

Zab “Super” Judah Fighter Quotes:

Miguel Cotto...
“I am honored to be mentioned together with Cotto, but I would destroy that dude if he moved up to 147. He doesn’t have the experience to be in there with me.

Yeah, in that sense I agree. I'm sure there are a few names that could be added to that too.

But honestly, a couple of those guys are actually killing the sport's popularity right now. When Hopkins has been the champ for nearly a decade and couldn't hit a serious payday until the Tito and DLH fights, something is seriously wrong.
