Comments Thread For: Miguel Cotto Feels "Totally Renewed" As Fight Nears

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Miguel Cotto is ready to prove he is still a force as he aims to close in on his 'destiny' of becoming a four-weight world champion.

The 33-year-old hotshot is looking to become the first Puerto Rican to win world titles in four weight classes as he makes his bid for Sergio Martinez's WBC middleweight crown this Saturday night.

The momentous clash, taking place at the iconic Madison Square Garden, sees the mercurial Cotto move up to the 160 pound division for the first time in his career having started at light-welterweight.

My initial pick in this fight was actually Cotto, then I then realized Martinez is probably the far safer and more logical pick.

But man Cotto looks in beast mode for this fight, I just want to see how Cotto takes left hands from a real MW. I hope we don't see anything dirty either, plus I hope Martinez doesn't fall apart if their bodies clash because of the differing stances.

He always says that then he gets his az handed to him and changes trainers them blames the trainer. Cotto is a fooken tool warehouse

ever since cotto split with his uncle, he hasn't looked like the same fighter. that is until he hired freddie. cotto didn't look good just b/c he faced delvin, it was his renewed confidence, body attack, and technique that i haven't seen in years.

i give cotto a better chance than most people are giving him. i think people will be surprised how well he does against sergio.

I really like Cotto, but he is just too small to be a threat to Martinez. Can't see any way he can win unless Martinez's knee gives out (like Yuri Foreman) and he's a sitting duck.

That quiet confidence and swagger he had during his prime is back.

This would be interesting if he didn't say the same exact thing about Steward and Diaz.

For all those who THINKS that martinez is the better fighter. He has been dropped in his past four fights. Got a gift decision in his last fight vs murray. He beat an old pavlik who has only jermaine taylor has his notable win. An old taylor as a matter of fact who arthur abraham did better than pavlik. Chavez jr. didn't throw any punches until the last round, because he is the type of fighter who needs to set his feet to throw those big shots, so since he was down on the scorecard he just started swinging punches and dropped martinez. Matthew macklin is a nobody, darren barker is a nobody, Serhiy Dzinziruk is a nobody, Paul Williams was a good fighter but he did lose to carlos quintana, and they would have fought a 3rd time but williams got into that accident. Erislandy Lara got robbed in that Pwilliams fight. He couldn't even beat kermit cintron convincingly, and as a puertorican I can tell you cintron is ass. Other than those fighters, he has fought plenty of bums in spain and argentina to pad up that record. Oh, and when he fought for the 1st time in nevada, he got ko'd by margacheatoh and then went back to spain to fight more bums. Now, styles makes fights. I see some people here saying that cotto gets hit alot. yes he did, thats because whenever he used to throw punches he would switch up his stance and that was when he was vounorable(spellcheck). Cotto understands that now that roach pointed that out to him, (the main reason pacquiao was even able to tag him so many times). Stylistically wise, He is back to the old cotto, dig that hook to the liver, something that he has gotten away from in recent years due to his different trainers. Mayweather knows this, (dont get mad mayweather fanboys, im just using him as an example). When cotto was 31-0 and just beat mosley, he was a body hooking machine. Then, a month later after the ricky hatton fight, mayweather retired saying that he has nothing left to prove, meanwhile cotto and him was in the same weight division. He only unretired after cotto lost to margarito, changed trainers, changed his STYLE of fighting, giving up the left hook to the body for a jab and being more defensive.

WAR COTTO!!!!
