    LMAO at that avatar :yep
    I think your spot-on with the bold. No need to get on Cottos back here. If he would have fought his mandatory we would be hearing the same **** so he's damned either way

    Ok, this is interesting. Floyd beats a "so-called" shot Zab Judah. Zab is then inactive for over a year. Miguel Cotto dispatches of Judah a year after Judah lost to BOTH pbf and baldy. However, now the "so-called" shot Zab is somehow a tough guy even though he already lost to pbf and a "slow snail guy".

    Yet, you consider Floyd to be taking easy fights by beating Zab first and then beating the "slow snail guy" who beat him. While at the same time, you indicate that Cotto has been fighting tough guys, which would seem to include Zab Judah.

    Sorry, but you can't have it both ways. Just like if you give Cotto credit for beating 36 year old Shane at 147, you have to give PBF credit for going up to beat a 34 year old DLH at 154. I won't argue if your consistent with your analysis, but you start to lose me when you show such an obvious bias.

    this fight is worthless. he shoulda fought Margarito or Clottey or Cintron or that ***** ass mother ****er Oscar De La Hoya who runs his ****** mouth wanting to fight a fighter that will go to war with him but ends up making a fight with mayweather so they can have gay sex together after their sparring match. I'm sorry I respect all boxers but DLH, he is ruining this sport and needs to ****ing retire. This just prolongs Cotto's career and its basically ridiculous in every sense of the word. I know Cotto is young but this is a waste of time and you are only in your prime years for so long. I don't see Cotto performing the way he does into his mid 30's at all. With that said, he should be fighting one of the bigger name guys, not ****ing Alfonso Gomez.

    How can he fight Floyd when Floyd's either:

    A. Out on vacation
    B. Possibly fighting DLH again?


    And I have no problem w/ Cotto vs. Gomez. It'll be a pretty good fight. Besides, Cotto has fought 4 times in the past year. 4 times. How many others do that.

    The Cotto camp is going to play it cool until Mayweather comes out of retirement, they have to go for the payday like everybody else. They don't want to take the risk of losing a fight before Mayweather. I believe the fight everyone should want to see is with Margarito, there styles will match up well. They both start slow, they fight on the inside, they apply pressure, and the Mexico vs Puerto Rico factor will make it a huge fight eastcoast or westcoast. I like Cotto, but his camp must know that his time to stay on top might be short. You can't get hurt that often and keep winning again and again. If he gets hurt by a true finisher he is going to have real problems. After the Mosley fight I felt that Cotto could actually box better than I thought, but I also felt like he wasn't as strong on the inside as I thought. So if you can fight Cotto on the inside you can give him problems, that's why he goes down on exchanges. Maybe a Cotto vs Collazo matchup might be good too.

    Mitchell was so shot it was unreal, Gatti was always a bum and Judah had just lost to the very, very limited Baldo...who Floyd also fought!

    and how r u gonna compare fighting delahoya vs. fighting mosley? ssm is till an active fighter he fought wat 4 may b 5 times in 18 months? while oscar fought 5 times in 5 years! not to mention he lost 3 or 4 of those fights! while mosley was on a 4 fight winning streak while many analysts picked him to beat cotto.
