IF corley gave him fits in the beginning think of what Zab would do. Zab would pounce as soon as he sees Cotto staggered.
    Corley gave Cotto a lucky punch, not a fit. Cotto controled the ENTIRE fight except for those 2 minutes in which he was dazed. Cotto dominated Corley totally dominated him.

      LUCKY PUNCH ? what ???
      No punch is ever lucky and Corley did not dominate that whole fight. That fight was closer than that while it lasted dude.

        i wrote that Cotto totally dominated Corley, the only round that Corley won was the one in which he rocked Cotto.

          well if you think that Cotto dominated then thats your opinion, but the way I saw it was closer than that.

              Only Chico has more power than Torres. Castillo and Hatton accumulate their punches, Torres and Chico have two erasers under their gloves.

              Don't get me wrong, I don't think a Castillo or Hatton fight are easy for Cotto, but he'd have a much better chance against them than against Chico, IMHO. Corrales is too tall and has too much power for Cotto right now. Even though Corrales likes to fight on the inside where Cotto might be able to hammer the body, I still think Chico would win that fight.

              I do think Cotto would beat Hatton and would be a very live dog against Castillo, tho. Hatton is over rated, IMHO, and Collazo showed Ricky has a weakness against someone who shows angles and has a good jab (someone like PBF would eat him up) and Cotto has a very good jab and is an under rated boxer.

              BTW, Castillo or Corrales eat Hatton up for dinner at 140.

                You make very good points, out of Hatton, Castillo and Corrales, Corrales would have the best chance at KOing Cotto. Corrales has huge one punch power, and he follows up nicely. But we also need to see how Corrales would hold up to Cotto's power, as Corrales does not have the best chin either, and he drops his right hand alot, leaving openings for a left hook, which happens to be Cotto's best punch.

                    So, your point is? Where was Chavez/Whitaker? And Chavez/Laporte was in NY. If Cotto losses to either Castillo or Corrales he sucks and is overrated. Not because they are good, but they suck.

                      My point was this whole ****** debate started when I said Cotto is NOT the elite fighter everyone is making him out to be. He is good but he is not "great". IF he steps in up in class he will get his ass handed to him. Put him in with a Tszyu or Judah and he will lose. The whole Corley/COtto thing was just an analogy Macho brought up for a Judah/Cotto comparison. But as far as the Corley fight went... I though it was closer than that. Cotto looked to be in a tougher fight than the score cards indicate. Cotto survived after getting buzzed but any other elite fighter could have finished him off.
