Who is the better opponent/left hook? Miguel Cotto or Brandon Rios

[King of Sting]

Who is the better opponent and who has the better left hook, Miguel Cotto or Brandon Rios? Please vote on the poll.

I realize that, that version of Cotto and PAC, when they fought each other are not the same ones today. But still, in my opinion, if Cotto couldn't do it, Bum-Bum "The Mexican Gatti" Rios, sure as hell can't(puncher's chance yes).

What do y'all think?

I think you're right. I sure as hell hope Manny shows up 100% because if he does bum bums getting a beat down.

Cotto is such a bum. Paper champion at 154, got destroyed by Margarito and little Pacquiao. Cotto always be taking a knee. Forget that noise. This is box. But, wait, stop to presses. Wait a minute. He beat P4P elite Rodriguez. Uh oh, Cotto's a beast, Cotto's a monster. He beat P4P elite Rodriguez. Cotto, the immovable object. Guess what, though? Pacquiao-Rios, as long as it lasts, will be a guaranteed war, there's no quit in these two. Unlike Cotto, paper champion at 154. Cotto, who got destroyed against Margarito and little Pacquiao. So, at least Brandon won't quit.

Rios has a good one but it ain't a notable punch the way Cotto's is. What Rios has over Cotto is a two handed attack in close, he is also a really good uppercut artist. Cotto got neutralized so easy because of his lack of a right hand.


I like the Rios-Pacquiao fight but I'm expecting Pacquiao to win impressively due to Rios' slow feet which has hurt him in the past. Rios is beastly against the aggressive type that like to sit in the pocket but any kind of movement/ or angles and he's neutralized. I don't think I have to make much of an analysis further than that. Now if Rios can close the gap against Pacquiao, should be interesting.

Cotto busted up Floyd pretty good. In 30 Days of May Floyd said he wanted to retire after the Cotto fight. Floyd won rounds but most rounds were close, I've never seen Floyd get beat up like that.

I'm just assuming you're a Floyd fan, since your sig is Floyd outclassing the very formidable p4p king Robert Guerrero.

Did Floyd fight Margarito or Pacquiao or did he make excuses?

And to answer the TS question, Cotto is superior to Brandon in every way, maybe Brandon has a better chin.

Cotto isn't a bum but he did fight like a wuss against Pac.

And I don't blame him. LOL.

Rios could get happy feet too when he gets hit with a bomb.
