    Aside from Williams putting his face in Lara's left fist all night i say he looked pretty weak and without much of a gas tank, this guy is not ready for cotto.

    Hope they make the fight, like I said I'll root for the Cuban but will not bet against the Rican, I think Cotto will get out boxed and probably stopped but he is a warrior and a favorite of mine for many years, and is just my opinion ladies and Gents.

    I know im gonna get **** from alot of people for this...

    But Cotto looks good when all is going his way, but when the going gets tough he gets on his bike and starts back pedaling all night long and dosent like to fight it out. Warrior is something Cotto is not.

    Man Cotto is already past his time , he's damaged , Lara will retire him if they ever bout ( unless he gets robbed again of course ) , it won't be pretty . Peace .

    No he wont, your underestimating Cotto and overestimating Lara.

    Yes he is ( imo ) , Cotto , though a great fighter , has had way too many wars over the years , he is at the end of his career ( a great one ) and Lara is at the twighlight of his , accept it , it's the law of nature , years don't pass in vain and Lara is too good and hungry for him . Peace .

    :patsch

    Cotto has a fair number of fights were things were not going his way and came back to win(Torres/Corley), also earlier in his career he was vastly praised for his boxing on the back foot, dont believe me look up his earlier fights they are all on youtube,"back pedaling" as you call it does NOT = survival everytime, "fighting it out" shows how skill-less and inexpirienced some fighters are.Unless you have ever laced your gloves and had multiple professional bouts you have no merit saying any of these guys are not warriors,so check yourself homie. I like Lara but to think he is in any way shape or form somehow close to elite or world class level is just silly hell Mayorga would probably put him to sleep!:hi:
