Do you think that Cotto now is better than he WAS pre-Marg/Pac

So let me adk this. Since Cotto is so garb, shot and overrated according to most of yall. Does Floyd get 0 credit for a win?

Of course Floyd gets no credit, he gets no credit for any win.

He's damaged, but can still perform under the lights. You can't really measure him come May 5th, unless we measure how much of a beat down he will get.

Can somebody explain to me how is it exactly that a fighter becomes "better" after taking two tremendously painful ass whippings?

Of course Floyd gets credit, but when you claim to be the greatest and undefeated (which I think is so overrated these days) people become more critical of you.

Easy,

He hires a new trainer, good trainer and everyone expects a new much improved Cotto.

Come May 5th Cotto will be the same Cotto,
One thing you can't teach though is heart and Cotto has plenty of that.

The name will look good on Floyds resume and thats why hes taking the fight but its a shame floyd dont fight these guys when he should have and there was most interest in it.
Floyds basically filling his resume up, rather than take the massive risky challenging fights that he could take. I guess this is another warm up for the main couse.

As a fighter I think he's worse.

I think what it is is that his hardcore training camp vids are making you guys change your perception of him as a fighter. His overall training seems a lot more solid, with the help of Diaz.

I don't see how he can be better.

he may have his confidence back after margarito but he's a bit older and a bit shop worn. He's certainly not shot as some would say, he's still a solid fighter but no mistake he's at the tale end of his career.

I'm tired of trying......

Good post here man. I did the poll for this thread that Cotto is a better fighter but I didn't post. I am actually tired of trying to reason with these so called fans. They are bogus and don't put a lot of thought into what they are saying. Mayweather is a boxing GOD I guess and cannot be defeated. I know why he is still undefeated; it's because he does not take risks. Little does he know, on May 5th, 2012, will be cherry-picking gone BAD. When you fight for money and not legacy, eventually your luck runs out at some point. I am a fan of fighters who show a willingness to fight the very best in boxing, Floyd is not here for that but Cotto is and always have been. It could come down to level of opposition on May 5th as well. If that is the case, Cotto has already won. You get green K for posting level-headed remarks in these threads.
