I thought he was on decline, not based on Tony or PAC fight, but on Foreman and Mayorga. I don't think the match with Stewart was good for him, but he looked fresh and strong bs Margarito. Granted Tony is legit shot...but he's better than the two guys he looked so so against in Mayorga and Foreman. He's not prime bit he's not shot either.
See, you don't even interprete **** right. Your post is a fail. Has nothing to do with what your talking about. ****in *******s..so easy to pick on because they really think they know what a poster is saying, when in reality they are far from wrong. Another fail by canemanatsch are you puga nani, pejevan, boxing rn, or which one of these ****in idiots is your alt?:rofl
I'd take Mayorga over this Margarito..any Margarito really...Margarito was only a good fighter when he was using the wraps:thumbsup
why are you evading my question? is it hard for you to admit that you ****ed up when you said that cotto was damaged before but now cotto is a "repaired goods" once he is fighting your boy floyd? yeah you have the respect of the Klitschko fans, Joe C. fans, Hopkins fans, mayorga fans, malignaggi fans and the rios fans yet you're the ****** who turned his opinion 360 when it is convenient for your boy.
Hey IDIOT, so you're saying every fighter becomes shot before he loses? If that's you're case, all 'PRIME' fighters should be undefeated. Cotto's 27 for God's sake - you call that shot? atsch
Shot? No, definitely not as evidenced by the Mayweather fight. Also, I don't believe Mayweather broke him or something - in fact, Cotto fared better than expected. I do have a problem with people discrediting wins by calling the losing fighter shot when there's little evidence to it. I admit, Cotto is faded but this fight wasn't even close; no 154 version of Cotto would ever beat Trout. Being shot at merely 32 is rather unusual as well.
Past his absolute best but he isn't shot. Every fighter doesn't fit neatly into a "prime" or "shot" category.
Hes not "shot" but there are factors working against him at this point. hes not at his best obviously, thats been a fact for a while. hes very small for 154lbs. Trout is a crafty and good fighter. So when you mix the size, with all the other variables you get a very good fight on Cotto's hands that he just couldn't pull off the victory in.
Very fair and reasonable analysis. Cotto is really ****ed that he can't make 147 (or so I heard) and being too small for LMW.
Opinions about being 'shot' or 'prime' are merely subjective. But I don't think the fighter's performances of every fight's are the only basis of it. Some fighters could have faded earlier but can also have good night performances anytime. Some fighters could be in their best peak but can also have bad night performances. Age can also play a good factor on it but it's not just a sole basis on it as well. This one is merely an opinion basis type of a question. Not absolute But one thing I'm sure is that every fighter ages now and then for every fight they have.
