Comments Thread For: Ali Expects Critics to Discredit His Win Because Miguel Cotto is 'Old'

I give Ali full credit..

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Lol, so he's going to pretend like a 37 year old Cotto is close to prime? Cotto wouldn't have gotten stopped to Vargas, lol.



Same thing the anti-GGG boys are trying to do, making it seem like Golovkin's age has no affect .

Well Joshua gets more than credit for an older than cotto inactive Wlad

[slimPickings]

of course it's going to happen,,,i mean a prime cotto would beat him easly,and ali is in his prime himself and barely beat an old cotto,,i don't think ali is that good,i don't like how when he had cotto hurt he didn't do much to finish him,even his corner told him he has to let his hands go,he won't get away with that against say charlo who is in his prime,he won't be a champion for long,he's a champ because cotto is old,not because he's any good

Saddam was "cherry picked" for a reason.
It backfired!! Big time.

Whether he loses his belt in the next fight is irrelevant.
Whether you or anyone think he is any good is irrelevant.

As far as what happened last goes , the history books will list his name as a belt holder and the man who brought the curtains down on a great fighter who along with his diehards thought this would be a walk in the park...into the sunset.

Somebody must have forgotten to send the script to Saddam!!

Or maybe they forgot to "talk" to the judges ahead of time to ensure victory!!

I suspect a lot may me chocking on a healthy dose of crow!!!

I give Ali full credit..

I do too. Even without the bicep injury I think he was just too fast for Cotto and would have won regardless. I wasn't looking forward to that fight at all and I was surprised how good it was.

[Larry the boss]

He should fight Horn next

[nycsmooth]

many of you so-called experts expected Cotto to Steamrolle ali...what happened was he exposed Cotto for what he was, old slow and limited but for the left hooks... so much for your all-time greatest PR fighter... there's three or four still much better than he ever was and that's only in PR ...don't ever ever think Cotto is an all-time great ...not even in the top 20...

[robbyheartbaby]

Good for Sadam, great win, he has a bright future.

[whatismyname]

Cotto did the same to Martinez and got his props...all credit due to Ali. Let's see Ali-Brook good reasonable step for both

[jas]

way to get credit is beat someone else in next fight
