Comments Thread For: Cotto: My Brother, a 135-Pounder, Badly Hurt Canelo

[bigjavi973]

cotto used to get rocked by 140 lbers all the time. he wasn't 19 years old at the time, either. he was in his mid 20's, and had a robust amateur background.


if cotto's banking on fighting the same guy that fought his brother he is f#cking ******ed.

He's not.

You need to get your facts straight Cotto started getting rocked at 140 after being at the weight for 5 yrs and was about 25 to 26 yrs old. He barley made 140 for the Corley fight and the Torres fight if that is what you are referring to.

Canelo got rocked at the age of 19 in his debut in the US. By a old journeyman Cotto got rocked by guys with skillz

Lame for Cotto to even mention this. Key reason is this fight was a lifetime ago when Canelo was a frigging teenager. He turned pro so young what 15? I consider that fight part of his amateur career. It's like mentioning guys who rocked Cotto when he was 19 year old kid in amateurs. Cotto didn't turn pro and start fighting grown men till he was 20. Canelo has such a good chin that since that fight against much bigger and better competition you can't find any example of when he was dropped or badly hurt. So you got Cotto and his scared fanbase trying to go back to when he was 19 and stunned for a few seconds then came back and destroyed and knocked his opponent out. If Cotto is leaning on that fight as a clue to beat Canelo then he has already lost. Canelo has a grown man's body now and world class experience.

Yes because with age comes chin, also name calling? Kids these days...

is this sarcastic?


go punch your 19 year old cousin.


then wait tunil he's in his mid 20's and punch him again. he'll probably wallop you back,

[Dinamita 03]

Yeah, when Cotto was a zombie making 140. Canelo was at his "natural weight" and getting rocked.

That was at WW he moved up right after the Cotto fight to JR. MW.

Cotto fought 4 more times at 140 after Corley rocked him badly, a guy he outweighed by 20 lbs.

EXACTLY. Canelo was a kid fighting men when he was wobbled once a lifetime ago. Cotto been rocked, face busted up like bloody mashed potatoes and KO'd MULTIPLE times as a grown man in his mid to late 20's by smaller and less powerful punchers then Canelo. Those fights are all more relevant to who both fighters are now then a teenage Canelo before he had experience or the ability to even grown peach fuzz on his face lol

let's face it, PRs have proven to be unable to be unbiased when it comes to their fighters. you're like little kids.

[Dean_Razorback]

did he just throw his own brother under a bus?

[New England]

Yeah, when Cotto was a zombie making 140. Canelo was at his "natural weight" and getting rocked.

that zombie made 140 another 4 times after the corley fight. he was 138.25 against maligniaggi.
