Comments Thread For: Chavez Jr. Ready: I Hope To Fight Miguel Cotto Next Year

[Realizniguhnit]

I agree with you here as well. Cotto used to enter fight night at around 155 pounds when he was at 140.

You can't downplay a 15-20 pound difference in a boxing fight. That is a alot of difference in weight. When you don't lose any speed or stamina, that is a big advantage.

Still, I think Cotto has got the better boxing skills. I wouldn't completely rule out a Cotto win, but with the weight factor, I would have to favor Chavez in a decision.

But here's the thing, who would you favor in a fight between Martinez and Chavez. Martinez would be easily give away 15 pounds to Chavez. In this case, I'd have to favor Martinez because he is more of a boxer than Cotto is, but, I don't think Martinez can win a decision against Chavez, so, it would have to be by KO>

Yup, no denying Cotto's the more seasoned an skillful boxer, but when it comes to that weight and not only that once you factor in the difference and height(MAJOR), man IDK, thats a whole lot. People don't realize how much energy it takes to hurt someone that much bigger than you ala Margarito who smaller then Chavez, its no joke. Best bet would be for Cotto to just keep attacking with his patented body shots that he's seemed to have sold or put back in a lock box somewhere lol...

As for Martinez/Chavez I'd have to go Martinez unless he gets old overnight which is absolutely possible at 36. But for one, IDK why but although he wont admit it, I think Chavez is already a bit weary about facing Martinez as it is now, so thats not good to go in a fight unsure or with a sense of fear of being knocked out for the 1st time, it will have him fighting scared, u know? Chavez is a young guy as it is already, i just don't think hes ready yet and he knows it. Its different with Cotto who's already a lot smaller than Chavez. But the way Sergio recently handled a (surprisingly) very skillful undefeated boxer in Barker who's 6' like Chavez idk just think Sergio is a little to seasoned for Jr at this point see Cotto doesn't capitalize on mistakes quite the way Sergio does because Sergio usually hits u with a punch u won't see coming, unlike Cotto...

“I was supporting Tony due to the fact that he’s a Mexican boxer, but at the same time I didn’t want to face him because I’m Mexican too


Translation: Hes scared of Margarito.

[ksan]

@cotto fan2 your nuts this fight aint gona have no catch wieght thats why canelo fight didnt get done cuz chavez cant make nothing less then 160 maybe 158 but i doubt it

Did you knew that De La Hoya wanted the fight at 156 or no fight?

Arum said at 158, but Hoya said no... only 156

I love how Jr is trying to fight smaller fighters and justifying the fight cause Cotto beat a mexican.

Next thing you know he will say that he wont fight Rubio cause he is mexican too.

The WBC will make sure they will sidestep Martinez at all costs.

Jr continues to be a joke

Is the same thing Martinez is trying to do

Trying to get fights with Pacquiao, Mayweather and Cotto

[peter stark]

Chavez will kill Cotto. I think he would beat Martinez, too.
Cotto is a shot fighter. Margarito was going to take him out in the last
two rounds.

Really? When have you seen martinez box? He fights with his hands down and brawls.
