rubbish. when you take on the top guys your not gonna walk through them all. Hes obviously an elite fighter.
look at that fight again between Margarito & Cotto ... if you ever been in a fight before, you know when physically you've met your match and he wasn't able to overcome the psychological part ad******g during the fight - he was stuck on the fact that Margarito wasn't showing hurt or showing signs of slowing down despite eating everything Cotto threw at him ... he fought the same way and couldn't understand why Margarito was eating his punches.
Cotto is an elite fighter ... there aren't many welterweights in the world that would be able to beat him and you can base that on experience. He's a professional as well (even though I don't agree with him thinking Margarito cheated against him - that was Cotto's fight to win, he was undefeated and he was the champion) Mosley Clottey (by way of rematch) Margarito Mayweather Pacquiao Berto are the only guys in the world that I see beating Cotto _
it never ceases to shock me how atlas can pick out the exact things a fighter needs to do to win on friday night fights and is usally right but yet can never use the same lofgic to predict a fight correctly.
It wasn't a prediction, he was talking about the mental state of Miguel Cotto ... Brian Kenny asked him what he thought about Cotto as a fighter, then asked him a prediction, which was a stoppage win for Pacquiao ... The same thing Hopkins had said ...
he already beat mosley.. he fought clottey with a bad cut for nearly the whole fight! margarito is a big question mark...if they fight again and its legit i say cotto wins. Go to that body this time and slow the 'tornado' down. He was hurt too vs mosley mayweather- I would love to see that. Pacquaio- I would love to see that! Berto- this better have been a joke
He doesn't have to walk through them just beat them convincingly. I say he's elite but not a truly elite. He probably just makes the cut.
Guys, these the Pacretards talking their ****. We as Cotto fans are not making any excuses. Cotto is not damage good... Actually, yes he is... please tell Roach that... Please sleep on that crap so you can see how PAC gets busted up. Stop your crap with Cotto not looking great against Clottey... Let me ask you... who would look good against Clottey? Even PW is ducking that ******* that Cotto had to beat with only one eye and could've retire from the fight while ahead on the cards so please... stop with the BS and stop making excuses in your mind as to why would Cotto loose and think about how would PAC would really fight when he feels a true WW in his prime landing a straight shoot to his head and ribs. When was the last time that PAC really was in the ring with someone that could bang with him? David Diaz? JMM? Sorry guys... but Cotto is bigger and stronger than those guys at a 130 lbs
Mayweather: "After the Margarito fight, mentally, Cotto is not the same ... Pacquiao's a fast starter and if I had to lean towards a fighter, I'd pick Pacquiao." Hopkins: "I pick Pacquiao ... Cotto's game, sorta like Arturo Gatti, Pacquiao is a sharp shooter ... Cotto will be busted up, I don't think his face will hold up 12 rounds. The Margarito fight, he suffered punishment ... the last fight he had a nasty cut, but showed grit."
