No, Cotto's win over Mosley at the end of 2007 was a fluke. Gomezis better than advertised but he is to Cotto what Cotto is to Mayweather & Pacquiao. Just not in the same league. His loss to Margrito had just as much if not more to do with Cotto's tendancy to weare out over the course of a match, than it did with what may or may not have been in Margarito's gloves.
It would still be a good win. Cotto is SMALL compared to the other JrMW's. IMHO, he was beaten out of WW. he didn't move up because of weight problems. He had a belt lured right in from of him, and took it. Was a good move, but it wasn't due to weight.
Cotto was coming into his 147lbs fights around 155-160, you can bet he's more comfortable only draining down to 154, plus if he wants he can come in bigger to push Floyd around
Hey ripcity, what a God awful post. I'm trying to figure out, which part I hated most. Maybe it's this part where you say the win was a fluke You obviously have AIDS like Tommy the "Duke" Please log out of life and never come back Dis **** is real y'all and yo **** is whack.
That's only on the assumption he was UNCOMFORTABLE making WW. He certainly didn't fight that way. By what you say, he should be even MORE comfortable at 160. not at all. :-(
Fight is at 154. Floyd isn't a ***** in the ring and doesn't need to drain fighters. A rep for cotto said they picked the mayweather fight over a rematch with pac because they wanted 147 and floyd would come up to 154. Lance your so full of ****. Cotto said after the clottey fight 147 was hard for him.
