    i do, because he is mean looking all the time and he has unbeleivable punching power. IMO. I know that most of you guys won't agree.

      Thats true if you saw him fight Peter Mcneeley and Peter had a goofy ass smile on his face and Tyson was just stare a hole in him.

        How the hell can you consider that when he hasnt had one fight at WW? Tyson was a monster puncher and very scary looking. Cotto is not scary looking as you think and we dont know if he's any kind of puncher at WW. He definatly wont hurt guys at 147 like he did at 140. Alot of those fights at 140 he was much bigger then his opponent and the weight difference was huge. It wont be like that at all at 147.

        They also have very different styles and Tyson wasnt getting rocked all the time like Cotto has. Cotto has also been dropped. No way he is like Tyson was in his younger years. Not to say it in a bad way, there just different

            No, not even close IMO. Tyson had a chin and he left guys on their ass every fight. Cotto doesn't look mean to me.

              that sums it up.

              people would rather die then step in the ring with tyson. lol

              but it seems that everyone wants a piece of cotto.

              stylistic in the ring, hes very different, but his main attributes are similar... i guess...

                Cotto's punching power aint all that, he got pretty good arsenal though.

                  I love how people say Cotto always gets rocked. The guy has been rocked in 2 fights out of 27 give him a break, not to mention he was weight-drained. And as for people saying he was dropped. Truely in denial or never sene the fight. That was so clearly a push that if you couldnt see that your ******ed. The guy was 100% clearly pushed down, people make it sound like he got clean clocked and fell on his ass. A non weight drained Cotto is going to be serious business.

                  And Cotto is nothing like Tyson at all. Cotto is an accumulation puncher not one punch KO's. His power was just built up before the Paulie fight to make it seem like Power vs Speed. Cotto's style is nothing like Tyson either. The comparison honestly makes no sense to me at all.

                    Seriously its not even worth arguing with people about it. He was pushed down. The commentators even agreed it was a push after the replay. He was stunned yes, but by a hard puncher. Hatton was stunned in his last fight. Floyd's been stunned too...
