Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto To Be Ringside To Watch Chavez Jr Up Close

[Evil Abed]

Im not sure about this fight. Chavez isnt that good but is a giant.

155 might drain him.

He's not like PW. I don't think he can adjust like that.

I think he's a true MW right now.

Word on the street is that it might be at 155 or 156.

I talk to some people around Cotto it will be at 156, but still!!

Im not sure about this fight. Chavez isnt that good but is a giant.

Thats what im saying, Cotto is a small as JMW imaginge him at MW, lol

I dont like this fight, theres nothing to gain for Cotto here. not even money, people overrates Jr.s drawing power, wich is decent nothing more.


I prefer Cotto fighting Cintron or Martinez at 154 even if that means him getting his ass kicked!!!

cotto needs too...............

get some balls and fight the p4p#3 in the world sergio martinez. he needs to quit being protected by top rank fighting half asses. chavez jr and cotto fighting is a joke. chavez jr is overrated just like saul alvarez!

Huh??? Cotto has been fighting the best for ever, he was in line to Kick Cheatos ass, but he still injure. And you know how Arum operates, Cotto will fight anyone at anytime!!!

Lenght and height mean nothing if you don't have boxing skills to use them to your advantage. Yuri is a tall dude with boxing skills and Cotto had no problems with that. Actually I think Cotto can target bigger guys better than smaller ones and he can set them up better for his best punch the left hook to the body.

Being young and lack of big fight experience doesn't seem to be an advantage to me.

Yes he does have a very good chin but again so far he has never fought somoene with elite talent. Lets see how his chins hold when he gets him over 300 times in a fight.

We will get a clear picture in Chavez JR fight with Zibik.

Good points.

Imagine that Chavez will try to brawl and pressure.

Can he deal with taking the same kind of damage Margo took? and he dosen't hit as hard.

Cotto should try to keep it a boxiing match and used that power jab to keep Chavez off balance.

Cotto has been in boxing since 11 years old and had one of the best amateur careers in Puerto Rico boxing history to the point experts compared him to Sugar Ray Leonard. He has fought the best of the best in his pro career so far including HOF and winning titles in 3 different divisions.

JR is going to go from fighting bums to an A level fighter with all the experience Cotto has? There is nothing JR can bring that Cotto can't counter. JR doesn't have great speed, JR is not a big puncher and Cotto faced bigger punchers in his 140 pounds days than JR, his boxing skills are nowhere near Cotto so he can't outbox him. JR has a good chin but that is not enough.

Cotto will KO this dude in less than 7 rounds and become the first Puerto Rican to win titles in 4 different divisions.

So why didn't he KO Mayorga? Mayorga is a bum and about as past it as you can get.

First off, amateur doesn't always translate to the pro's, so let's not go there.

Also, like the other poster said, Jr has some physical advantages that you just can't ignore.

Couple that with the fact that Cotto isn't the same fighter anymore, sorry but he's not. I have Cotto winning but it won't be a cake walk like you think.

Toughness and pressure will take Jr far in this fight.

Cotto TKO'd Mayorga.

Mayorga saved himself from a KO by faking a phantom wrist injury.

im curious to see that too..let's see how many people show up at staple center,if it's over 10,000 thats good,if he wins it will only get better since he'll be a champ...not many fighters put that many people in an arena,not berto,not alexander,not bradley,only the top guys,need to see him do that at staple and at las vegas,if he can do that at vegas,he'll do it anywhere
