    Just because a fighter gets caught off balance doesn't mean he got stunned. If that was the case then Cotto "stunned" Margarito several times on Saturday. But we all know he never actually stunned him. Just like it's absurd to think Malignaggi stunned Cotto.
    the magic man landed a right hand, if i can remember correctly, cotto had to hold on. thats if i remember correctly

        I've never seen a Tszyu fight, so I have absolutely no clue... I've just seen a few comments that make me really feel like I'm missing out... Someone on Youtube said he ranks Tszyu's ability and skill right up there with Duran, Hagler, Leonard, and Hearns...

        Saying that about anybody makes me cringe, but he didn't seem to be alone in that opinion...

        What do u guys that have actually seen Tszyu fight have to say about putting him in there with Cotto...

        Extra credit if u tell me how this fight would play out at 147 too
        They are dead wrong, Tszyu isn't an ATG or even close to being an ATG and didn't have a fraction of any of those fighters skill.

        As for the question Tszyu would probably beat the 140 version of Cotto, I dont think he'd win against the 147 version though.

          You're obviously not remembering correctly. This isn't really debatable.

          Malignaggi landed a right hand and Cotto got knocked off balance and stumbled backwards a tiny bit. But Cotto haters feel the need to view that and go "oh my god Malignaggi hurt him" blah blah. Please.

          Cotto knocked Margarito off balance plenty on Saturday, he landed a left hook at the end of round 8 that knocked Tony back literally several feet. But no one thinks it hurt him because it didn't, it was balance related.

            Cotto was a little firecracker at 140, but his lack of chin/weight drain benefits an already better Tszyu.

            At 147 the outcome is much different

              Kostya Tszyu is a much greater fighter than Cotto. He'd destroy Cotto with bodyshots.
