Cotto vs Mayweather=Gatti vs Mayweather?

[Forza]

Good Lord.

What do you see in cotto that makes gatti look so bad?

Speed? Not really
Strength? no
Power? nope
Defense? Yes, but cotto is no pernell whitaker
Chin? lol

We;re talking about a guy that took like 9 rounds to beat yuri foreman here, let's not get too carried away

In the Duran fight I don't consider it great because Leonard fought a bad fight. Okay, maybe he was in his prime, maybe it was his typical style, but he didn't fight the smart fight.

So basically what you're saying is that you don't give Roberto Duran his props for beating the ever-loving-**** out of a prime Ray Leonard, because Ray fell for Roberto's mindgames, and fought ******ly?

Jesus Christ I wish I could inject you with a vaccine for your ******ity.

Ray was forced to fight that way against Roberto, Duran was one of the great stalkers of all the time, he could cut the ring off, had excellent footwork and would **** you up on the inside.

And what make's it worse is he didn't even fight ******ly.

He fought how he always fought.

Other than Cotto being better than Gatti in most area's, just the simple fact his resume is 10x better.

I think he (Leonard) probably could've done a better job at keeping himself off the ropes, but overall, you're correct.

But I say that as a human being who has no earthly idea of what it's like to be stalked around a 20 foot square ring like a piece of prey by one of the baddest mother****ers to ever draw breath.

Oh, yeah. I think he was just suprised how strong Duran was.

But they both came to fight and for a war and they gave us an amazing show. That's something we expected from both Leonard and Duran. (9 out of 10 times)

You and me both, brother.

It's theads like these that keep the rest of us regular BS users confined to the comfort of the lounge. I know it's kind of cliche for users of older join dates to be like : "Man, this place was so much better back in (insert year here)", but the reason we always say that is because it's actually true.

Threads like this make me want to punch a small child in the face.

I didn't get a chance to read all the replies but I just wanted to chime and say this: If you think Miguel Cotto and Arturo Gatti are on the same level, then you are a ****** who doesn't know crap about boxing. Quite possibly one of the ******est things I've ever heard on this forum.
