Are We Overestimating Cottos Greatness?

We shouldnt count Mayorga out thats for sure. Mayorga will be a tough one and I dont think Cotto will dispose of him in four rounds maybe eight rounds.

 

some people are.. cotto is a real good boxer, but not great.. mayorga will definitely be tough for him, especially in the early rounds.. cotto just needs to box smart and not get caught in a war and let it last out to the late rounds when mayorga's smog filled lungs catch up to him, but he does look like he trained and prepared better for this fight than the mosley fight..

let the hype begin

 

Cottos not great

 

if he does the cotto fade, it could be ugly, but i think manny will get him ready, and have a good plan in place

 

Who's talking about Cotto greatness?? :think

Anyway, i agree its a tougher fight than what most people are expecting.

 

The Mayorga who fought Trinidad and Oscar was significantly younger and fresher than the 2011 version.

 

Cotto is a bigger favorite against Mayorga than Pac against Mosley or Vitali Klitschko against Solis.

 

And the Mayorga who was so awkward and difficult to adjust to (Mosley's word)?

I may be wrong (hell it's boxing!) but i'm anticipating a tough fight for Cotto (still think he wins).

 

cotto is great

 

Cotto's greatness has nothing to do with his skillset... it has everything to do with the fact that he'll fight ANYBODY, he doesn't make excuses, he's humble and he's a true warrior. That's what endears him to boxing fans and his lack of punch resistance is part of what makes him so exciting. Watch his fight against Torres and you'll see what I mean. Cotto has the heart of a champion.

 

I think the fight will be either one extreme or the other. Very tough and competitive or a total walk-over win for Cotto. Not much in between.
