Who will hand Cotto his first defeat?

[Left2body]

Yeah Yeah even though Paulie ain't a powerhouse I realy think he is going to box circles around Cotto...only the PRs here or ppl who have'nt seen him fight (which I find strange he has been in alot of televised fights) are discrediting him. This organ grinder is fuc king fast and its from crazy angle. I'm actually intrigued at this fight to see if Paulie can handle the pressure. Its funny cause every one of the Cotto fans are saying he gonna KHTFO...how the fuc k they know what kinda chin he has...never even been in trouble let alon dropped. We all know what Cotto brings...I realy think Maglinaggi will give Cotto a tuff bout and a possible upset.

LOL, you start off with your assertion that Paulie's gonna box circles around Cotto and that only PR's think that Cotto can beat Paulie.

BUT......then you whimper out and towards the end of your post you put "will give Cotto a tuff bout and a possible upset"

I mean which is it? Is Paulie gonna demolish Cotto or is it Paulie might upset, think of a concise thought before you run your mouth. Paulie is gonna lose and if you wanna bet that Paulie wins then lets do it.

Now for Cotto beating Castillo, I think Cotto has a good shot at 140lbs with Castillo as favorite and a very good shot if they fought at 147lbs with it being a pickem. I also think the same holds true for Hatton. If Hatton fights Castillo 140lbs I would wager on Castillo if they fought at 147 I would tend to favor Hatton.

Lastly this thread is seriously biased, you can tell from the vote options, they are will he lose his next fight, next next fight or not sure but pretty soon(summarizing). If it was "When will Hatton Lose: versus Collazo vs PBF or Just a matter of time before someone KO's him there would've been a lot more flaming.

I honestly think Cotto beats Castillo at 147. castillo has been in one too many wars...Cotto would be too big, too strong for him at that weight. It's not like EVERY punch Castillo lands on Cotto is going to hurt him...plus the added 7 pounds will do wonders for Cotto's balance and equilibrium.

At 140 it's a pickem fight.

Great post man. Agreed 100%.

Anyway like I said before I dont think Paulie will beat Cotto, he doesnt have the power to make Cotto respect him, making it a lot easier for Cotto to cut off the ring on him.

Cotto has a decent shot versus Hatton and Castillo. I think where Cotto will struggle is with slick boxers that have pop in there punches and he cant just cut off the ring with blatant disregard i.e. PBF and Zab type of fighters. I think those type of fighters will be a real test for Cotto and wouldn't mind seeing him fight Judah for his next fight either. Dont want to see him versus Gatti because Gatti can get hurt and I like Gatti to much. Gatti has shown more heart than almost any boxer I've ever seen but he just doesnt have the talent or skills to beat an elite fighter and an elite fighter who has a lot of power might severly hurt him and I dont want to see Gatti talking like Holyfield or Meldrick Taylor.

I think Cotto has a better chin than is suspected and I think he will be faster at 147lbs because he is appearing to look like a plodder at 140lbs, not as fluid and fresh looking with combos and body movement which he had earlier in his career at 140lbs.

LMAO @ any imbecile that thinks Paul Malignacci beats Cotto. That square italian boy is gonna get wrecked and I finna enjoy that. I'm not even that big of a Cotto fan, I think this Paul Malignacci fight is a waste of time, I'll be surprised if Paul ain't decapitated within 7.

If Torres couldn't KO Cotto I doubt very much Castillo can, Torres has some kind of power. If anyone is going to beat Cotto it's going to be Floyd Mayweather Jr. if he can stay away from Cotto's power, he has great speed to give Cotto problems but it remains to be seen because at 147 Floyd has no power and Cotto will keep on coming and land his shots and hurt Mayweather.

What's funny about all this crap about Cotto is that, when Cotto beats the backstreet boy malignaggi- people will say "ah Malignaggi was a bum anyway" then if he beats Castillo (which I feel will be a very tough fight) people will say, "Castillo is done", or they will say "Castillo is not a true junior Welter".

Either way, the Cotto haters will hate so what's the point of discussing this topic with biased Cotto haters?

mark my words, if Cotto beats Castillo, people will go on about how Castillo was done, out of his prime, out of his weight class, etc...etc....

It wouldn't be too big of a stretch to say that he's shop worn and out of his prime.

If the fight took place at 140, there isn't much room for saying Castillo is above his best weight because he's a HUGE lightweight.
