Comments Thread For: Cotto: Canelo, Golovkin Have To Be Calm, Wait Their Turn

Yeah, but a guy walking around on 2 feet for 27 minutes means he's a cripple. Ya'll some dumbass muh ****a's for real... BWAHA!!!!!!

"He only ran for 3 seconds doe."

He was only on his feet for 27 minutes. Can someone show these fools the knockdown in round 9 where Sergio didn't even get knocked down? His knee nearly hit the canvas but... he stood up. Yeah, a guy with a bad knee is going to do that lol. Keep trying haters.

Lets be honest knee injuries are some of the worse for athletes.. be it from boxing..mma.. football whatever..

Sergio looked awful the fight prior to the cotto fight as well..

For someone who's whole game was about using his feet and movment.. you dont think two major surgeries hurt that??

[MOTHERDUCKER]

Sergio Martinez never made excuses for his loss to Cotto. He gave cotto and his team respect.

Similarly, Cotto never made excuses for his loss to Margarito. He said he got tired after 6-7 rounds, and Margarito took advantage. He speculated that margarito may have used illegal handwraps, but he also admitted after the second fight that margarito's punches felt the same.

Sergio is a good man and a great fighter ofc he isnt gonna make excuses.. fact is his knees were shot he had two major ops at least.. also one on his shoulder.

And to top it of he was forty years old.. Sergios style is all about movement.. I believe roy jones said no one can fight like he did vs chavez.. the guy was amazing and I wish Cotto fought him between the time of the williams up to the chavez fight.. because he would get his ass whipped

Cotto is a good fighter but not a legit MW till he faces the top dogs.. Martinez at that stage was not one and I would put money on even an average Mw like jacobs beating him on thwt night

In effort to AVOID new injury, the brace was used. What he needed was headgear.

Oh if that's the case and the knee was 100% OK and he was ONLY wearing it to avoid a NEW injury, then surely logic would dictate that he would have been wearing a brace on BOTH knees, to y'know avoid a new injury and all? Because you never can tell which one of your supposedly 100% healthy knees will get injured.

I agree. Wanted Heiland or T. Johnson instead of geale. Heiland is ranked #1 by WBC and Johnson is the WBC silver champ.

My problem though is not because of rankings. Even Geale or another 'easier' fight would have been more than ok, but six months ago, so now we would be possibly talking about GGG or Canelo.

If Cotto wants to fight once a year though, then he needs a rather big name, or at least somebody who is making noise. Floyd understood that.

It is in his own interest, losing to GGG or Canelo wouldn't hurt his image too much, but if Cotto , for some reason, was to lose against Geale he'd lose a lot (if not all) of leverage and hype (see Cotto vs Trout, and now Cotto a couple of years older).

Today's boxing is more like you have to lose to get a shot at a title instead of winning.

I believe a gif of sergio martinez running for 2 seconds negates any argument that he had bad knees. Duh.

Geale would be ok if Cotto fought at least twice a year, but as a first defense of his new MW title after a 1 year lay off that's a rather bad choice imo.

I agree. Wanted Heiland or T. Johnson instead of geale. Heiland is ranked #1 by WBC and Johnson is the WBC silver champ.

bullshit!



Cotto-Plasterito face off NO HANDSHAKE from cotto:

[Joe Beamish]

Cotto's only great accomplishment was to look better against Floyd than most (but not all) of Mayweather's opponents. Otherwise he ran in the ring from Pacquaio until the ref stopped it (I wish he hadn't stopped it; I wanted to see more damage), lost to Trout, beat up a cripple and avoided the man that everybody knows is the real stud in his own weight class, GGG.

Everybody knows: Cotto is AFRAID TO FIGHT GOLOVKIN. At any weight.

[bigjavi973]

his meniscus is completely torn now as opposed to the chavez and murray fights where it was only partially torn. truth hurts but he was done. it was a scam.

guess who also tore his meniscus but is coming back asap:



Again, I have also torn my meniscus. It is not career ending. When sergio chose not to operate his knee for that. The pain always stays.
