Comments Thread For: Cotto's Coach: We Plan To Use Golovkin For Sparring

[pacmanis1]

They say a doctor once asked Cotto to remove the grapefruits in his pants, to which Cotto responded "those are my testicles". Props to Cotto.

He faced Pac and Floyd. Who else wouldn't face them for the $$$$$? In reality he hasn't really faced the best @ 140/154. He's only fought ONE top 10 154 pounder in the last couple years. Overhyped to the extreme. Yes MYTH!

Money, that is your take. Damn, 147 Pwill. 140, Hatton, Harris, Witter? Wow, way too many HoF there. 154, he was under TR. You know how it works for them. One of the most skill 154 is Trout. On his own without Prom Co, he is choosing one of the best challenges, but you are ignoring it. Stop your Cottardism. You are worst than us

I just can't see Cotto beating Trout at this point in his career. I give him all the credit in the world for taking on the toughest challenges, but at a certain point, size overcomes skill level. Trout is simply too big for Cotto and If trout fights a smart fight and uses his size there's no way Cotto can win. This is the reason we don't see Floyd jumping at Martinez, because even Floyd knows natural size matters at a certain point.

Oh u the mean size of there balls??

Cotto has never ducked any challenge..................................except Martinez.

Funny how people praise Cotto for sparring with GGG when Canelo already did it but they're still calling Canelo a duck.

But more seriously, why would Cotto spar with a flat-footed orthodox fighter to prepare for a slick southpaw?

1) Canelo just fought someone who's spent most of his career campaigning 2 weight classes below him.

2) Presumably because he got the opportunity to spar with someone like Golovkin and figured it'd be good experience, regardless of his opposition.

He sure did but I just think it's funny how Cotto gets much more respect for doing something Canelo did.

But Cotto is not a prospect, he's already an accomplished fighter he doesn't need experience, especially damaging experience. Not very smart.

That's for 2 reasons - Canelo sparred him before he ever fought in the US and on HBO(i.e. before many people knew what a good fighter he was) and Cotto just carries more respect than Canelo because of who he's fought and his career in general.

Also, you never stop learning. Regardless of where you are in your career, offering fresh challenges it what keeps it interesting.

That's true but learning by sparring a guy that you don't need to spar, a guy that could seriously hurt you, is not a smart thing to do when you're preparing for a fight.
