Ring Magazine Article on Cotto....Good Read!

[Easy-E]

ricarrdo torres isnt a C level fighter, i think he is a great unkown and if he had proper time to train for cotto ( he was a late replacment right?) he will KO cotto early liek he almost did in there fight on some times, he could beat hatton 2 imo, and id love torres to land a bigf right bomb and see mayweather's goofy ass oww i got ktfo face. RICCARDO TORRES BABY!!!

phew
for a second there, i thought you were actully serious

"Generally, prizefighters that get remembered are one of two things: very exciting, or legitimately great. Very few are both. There’s a good reason for that: It’s vulnerability that makes a fighter exciting. And the great ones are too dominant, at least until they’re at or near the end, to be especially vulnerable."


ala floyd mayweather

Thats the same situation i see in their styles. The only intangible is if floyd can handle extreme pressure.

That would be just like us, wouldn’t it? Praise the guy for taking tough matches and then downgrade him because things got rough. Really, if Cotto proved anything during his seventh-round stoppage of Torres in front of 10,137 fans at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall on September 24, it is that he is all fighter.

Yeah that would be just like you,****ers

Mike Tyson when he was young (don’t deny it now just because he fooled you).

LMFAO.Too true.

Cotto took seemingly dozens of hard, flush shots while trying to make it to the end of the round, which was a long time coming.

This is why i keep saying cotto was way more hurt here than in the Corley fight.

The punchers never hurt him. They never came close. It was the quicker-handed Corley and Torres who broke through and rocked him by beating him to the punch while he was in mid-combination.

More **** Ive been saying.

I also think cotto would benefit,right now that hes young,from working with some top Trainers,like its mentioned towards the end of the article,he could be better without too much effort i think,just by putting some good work in the gym.

Thanks for the article Killer, ****ing nuthugger

cotto is a strong puncher, and torres probably is too, but cotto got rocked by corley and his opposition is weak
i understand they are nurturing him or whatever, thats fine, but dont put him on floyd and hattons level just yet
lets see fight fight a big fight first

I put Taylor on Hopkins level after he defeated Raul Marquez. I was one of the first to claim that Taylor would dethrone Hopkins after that fight, and I had everyone tellin me it he isn't developed yet, needs 2-3 more years of fighting. Well almost exactly a year later he did the un thinkable.

2 more solid fights for Cotto and he is ready to take Hattons IBF strap.

Exactly I dont think Floyd will be able to handle the constant pressure from Hatton. He will get on the ropes and try to counter Hatton, while getting hit himself with some big shots.

Cotto on the other hand I believe will constantly cirlce the ring, not giving Hatton a chance to pressure him to the extent that he would like. At the same time I can see him landing his jab and left hook to the body of Hatton to slow him down for later rounds.

i said taylor would dethrone hopkins 3 years ago on e-side boxing before they banned me

....as far as we know, none of the fatal vices that afflict so many athletes: women, booze, hubris

Wrong, Cotto has some drinking issues he has to solve, he has to be more professional. Part of his struggles to make weight is he drinks and likes to party too much, anyone from Puerto Rico can tell you that, hopefully he does it before he gets hurt in the ring. Yet Cotto is my man and I would take him over any 140 pounder.

[AintGottaClue]

i say cotto beats floyd, floyd beats hatton, and hatton beats cotto
