    Quite a lot of people truly believe this, even seen a few comments on here with people saying he looks the best version of himself since getting with Freddie.

      It's bad. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but it's borderline misinformation. They should get people knowledgeable in boxing that will provide real insight and not repeat myths mixed in with facts.

        They should not be allowed to speak on boxing.

        I'm not sure which is worse, Skip Bayless' flat out lack of knowledge of the current sport or Stephen A Smith acting like a ****!ng connoisseur when he himself knows jack.

        Cotto is at the peak of his powers
        Cotto has won 6 straight by KO
        Cotto would beat Mayweather (despite an easy 117-111 last time)
        Cotto, after 7 years, has just recovered from Margarito 1

        That's just some of what they had to say.

          Let's see how he looks against Canelo. I truly believe he's benefited from great match making in his last 3 fights. Also what boxer is at his "peak" at 35?! Save for the alien Bernard Hopkins of course

                    which is significant

                    those two get paid half a million a year each, last i checked. they could at least, you know, watch a couple of fights before they talk boxing on national TV

                      Screamin A's old contract was rumored to be 2 million a year. He re-upped this year, so lord knows how much he is being paid now.
