Miguel Cotto vs. David Lemieux

Are you kidding me?? Margarito is like a 3 time world champion with about 10 title fights won and names like Miguel Cotto, Kermit Cintron, Andrew Lewis, Sergio Martinez, and Joshua Clottey. Also, Margarito's hand was ALSO injured against Clottey so I would say they fought on even terms.

Lemieux won a paper title and failed to successfully defend it.

Margarito > Lemieux No comparison

 

This should be a great fight but I kind of hate it in a way because I’m a big fan of both Lemieux and Cotto, and I hate to see one of them lose. But I guess I really can’t root against Cotto in his final fight...although I would have to slightly favor Lemieux here.

 

cotto might go in to survival mode and lose a decision in which he will run out of the ring crying that he was robbed.

 

Havent seen how much Cotto has left.

Im a huge Lemeiux fan, but havent followed boxing that closely in some time, now.

My take is how much Cotto has left, because he is a way better boxer than Lemeiux. But if he is shot, Lemieux might murder him. But i dont think David can decision him.

 

Lemieux doesn't have the chin nor the skills to trouble an elite fighter, let alone an elite fighter with Cotto's skillset.

Lemeiux fights in straight lines, he only knows how to come forward, he paws, paws, and hooks (repeat over and over). Lemieux also has very little to no defense. His ONLY chance at beating Cotto is landing a hail-mary punch.

 

Good post. The only way I see DL beating MC is if Cotto is shot. Not a knock on DL who I am a fan of too, Cotto is just in a different level.

 

This whole "bad style" excuse BS has got to stop.

 

That has nothing to do with what I posted since none of those guys are fighting Cotto. To prove your ass wrong for the umpfteen time there are posts scattered all around this forum claiming that Canelo (who is superior to Cotto) would lose to Monroe, Rosado, Macklin, and Ishida made by you GGG fanboys.
