Hahaha, hahahaha, ha.....wait, that's not remotely funny. What is funny, however, is that you feel the need to laugh at your own unfunny statement.
Cottos stamina is awful? It sure as hell wasn't awful in the Judah fight were he only got stronger as the fight wore on but because he loses one fight his stamina is awful?
Well his stamina Wasn't good against Mosley, went 12 rounds. Wasn't good against Margarito, went 11 rounds. Wasn't good against Lovemore N'dou, went 12 rounds. And of course, if you get hit directly in the jr.s you're going to look more tired than your opponent.
Oscar also has made it too the 12th round on many occasion, but that does not hide the fact he also has bad stamina and fades second half of the fight.
I make no secret of the fact Im a big Cotto fan but how he can say he doesnt like a clean fight when he has no problems with the odd shot to the balls just does not make sense. Cotto is general is a clean and fair fighter...But holding on every now and then to clear your head is far more acceptable then planting one on the your opponent's meat and potatoes. Regardless this is good though...sometimes when a fighter finds clinching it ruins them for me, as a fighter I enjoy to watch...Hatton is really pushing it IMO. He was a fighter I used to look forward to watching, that has gradually changed. Ruiz believe it not was just your average stand up heavy when he started out, not exciting but not the kind of fighter he became where you wanted to claw out your eyes after the only 45 secs.
His stamina is generally good, i think he was anxious in the Margarito fight, he also used too much energy in the 1st rounds. He should clinch more and he did clinch with Margarito when he was about to get knocked out.
Hatton hasn't held much in the last couple of fights, it was Paulie doing almost all the holding in November.
I'm a 100% Cotto Fan and I have to agree with you fully... If all that isn't macho talking he needs to wise up fast before he gets beaten again.
I agree and Cotto is one of my favorites. He needs to clinch against Margarito. Shane will show him how to beat the Tijuana Tornado.
Well it was good enough for Mumammad Ali,Sugar Ray Robinson,Archie Moore and company,so it should be good enough for Miguel Cotto.
