You're playing semantics because you want to make a distinction between non-existent defense and shitty. Whatever you want to call it, I dont care. Cotto's defense sucks balls. And you have no logical reasoning to disprove this because you are a ****ing idiot. No **** sherlock. Its when you get rocked over and over and over and over again, bleeding out your nose and your ass every fight. Dont you think that qualifies as a shitty defense lol? Cotto doesnt slip ****. For every punch he slips he gets hit with 2. The amount of highlights of Cotto's head getting rocked back in this fight are gonna be legendary. Did you not hear kellerman scream out "His head is getting turned off his neck" or some **** like that? Yeah it was because Cotto looked like a pez dispenser in there. He's only slightly above those guys. He can run better then both of them. SO I guess I can count that as a form of defense lol. At one point Clottey hits Cotto so hard his head nearly comes off. What do you call that dope? And he's terrible at both. His high guard sucks because he can easily be caught with upper cuts, and he's terrible at fighting off the back foot as manny steward alluded to. Sorry he just cant do it without being hit repeatedly. Fighters with good defenses dont bleed every fight dumby. Again learn the sport then attempt to comment,
Cotto's defence is not Mayweather esque but it is sufficient enough, he does square himself up up too much but on the whole his defence is okay its not spectacualr and its not shitty like you claim. Did you think Benitez had a poor defence when Bruce Curry was walloping the **** outta him ? well there you go its a Boxing match, you get hit. Well Cotto's style of fighting has a lot do with why he has taken punishment sometimes, but that does not = bad defence.
Props to Cotto, he won the fight, however close. I think alot of ppl thought he wud be alot beta than he is but he is one of the top fighters in a tough welter division and one of the most entertaining. Its fighters like cotto that make boxing. Ive never thought cotto was a genuine threat to PBF but hell not many ppl are, so plz he got the win wheres the respect?
The thing with Cotto is............he has a decent defence but its ring generalship/stamina that is questionable see Cotto/N'Dou,Mosley, his questionable ring generalship gets him trapped sometimes, and it has him using up more energy moving because he does not navigate the ring well when he is backed up. However his defence is pretty decent, he avoided plenty of shots against Clottey and Marg, he had problems WHEN he TIRED from not navigating the ring economically enough, his defences started to drop along with his punch output and lateral movement. Danny_Rand, why is it he never showed any signs of a poor defence BEFORE he got tired against Margarito ? The cut was a huge factor in why Clottey had a lot more success breaking through Cotto's defence than he normally would. You know this is the truth. Like i said if you knew the intangibles of Boxing you would ALREADY know this.
It doesn't matter if it is Cotto, Mosley, or Mayweather, because they are too big and strong for pacquiao, seriously because he beats a shot DLH and Hatton who has never been that good to begin with and more of a product of brittish hype who doesn't belong in the elite of the sport, you think he can beat a real top WW who isn't shot? i say if the fight is at 144+ he has no chance.
Pac will beat Cotto even at l47. His speed, power, workrate and stamina will be too much for Cotto to handle.
stfu and get your face outta manny's anus! fans would love to see pac fight Cotto, love it!two great warriors; one is going out on their shield! what is not to like about that?
