I had Cotto-Mosley 8-4 to Cotto too, but im bit of a Cotto hugger. He is my fav international fighter.:deal
I don't know man, there's something about Cotto i don't like.......... the guy never smiles, i don't like the way he holds out his left hand, his stance and his right hand looks awkward, his defence is head down and cover up, he just isn't flashy enough for me, he is quite effective though. What it probably is is the fact that i keep betting against him and losing my money atsch His timing is brilliant and he is an intimidating figure in the ring. Agree about the Johnson fight, i think you just talked me into putting cash on the Dawson KO :good
I need to watch it again maybe, i had money on Mosley so i was probably abit biased. From what i remember though it was Cotto first half and all Mosley second half.
Yeah even before or after the Zab fight, i would not have wanted to put Cotto in these with Shane. I felt it would be a too dangerous fight. But he proved he is one of the top guys in there.
Mosley did not lose the fight with Cotto and those ****in commentators were pissing me off. The fight was a draw. I thought Cotto would win the stand and trade action and Mosley the boxing action but it was the opposite. **** Cotto, he def is a future Gatti just wait and see, he will lose little bits of form over the years and end up copping beating after beating to my delight, actually he's probably closer to being like Vargas than anything except Vargas had a health issue.
Yeah future Gatti that just beat one of your favourite fighters by OUTBOXING him hahaha. Are you saying that Gatti could outbox Shane Mosley then??? Prime Vargas was a very under rated fighter, who just didn't QUITE have enough. Cotto has shown on a couple of occasions that he succeeds in the face of adversity, where as Vargas simply could not. I agree with you though that Cotto will probably not have the longest career with his style of fighting. I can't see him doing anything good beyond the age of 33 to be perfectly honest.
Fair enough.... Dawson KO is paying alright as well, doesn't look like a bad bet. Johnson has a pretty good chin, but Dawson is a class above, against an older fighter. Dawsons power is under rated IMO also, and Johnson isn't as big or strong as Adamek.
Well the adversity Vargas had to endure was Oscar and Trinidad in their primes, how would Cotto fair against those two :think Bring on the Mosley v Cotto rematch **** :twisted: I want some ****er to tear Cotto a new arsehole
