Comments Thread For: Lemieux: Cotto’s Scared Of 160, Not Real Middleweight

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

See it hurts me as a cotto fan to admit this but its true. Miguel Cotto is very much afraid of the 160 division he jumped up for an opportunity and it panned out now he has that belt hostage which I dont like at all. I wish he just officially announce he relinquishing the belt and move back down to 154 and campaign their.

Cotto admitted he wasn't a real middleweight. Thanks Lemieux for confirming

That is almost exactly how I see it.

Cotto > Lemieux hands down, but this is a young mans sport, and 160 is suited to Lemieux.

But I would not back Lemieux at catchweight.

Catchweights fkn suck.

Yeah the more I think about it. David's bull in a china shop approach is not good for Cotto. Once Lemieux puts him on the defensive, it is all downhill. Cotto's last few fights are a mirage. He is a past peak fighter. Roach and careful planning has prolonged his career some, but the foundation is still aged and has cracks. Lemieux seems no worse for wear after his losses. In fact he seems completely refreshed and completely confident. Losses when young are not as bad I guess.
