Can You Think of Another Fighter Who Has Been Managed as well As Cotto?

This is the problem with boxing. Too many promoters are trying to perfectly match their fighters who don't have much of a chance of beating them instead of putting them in with the best fighters availible. Say what you want about Vargas, but his career is where it is right now because he just wasn't good enough. Unfortunately, because of how the sport is set up, promoters are motivated to pad their fighters record for years before putting them in a big money fight, which may or may not be against a legitimate threat.

 

Plenty of fighters have been managed well it all depends on how they rise and complete each hurdle thrown at them. I can think of a few but one that comes to mind is surely ODLH, he fought good names that where either past their prime or fighters that had previously fought Tito and got smashed small enough for DLH to consume, similar to a bird regurgitating already half digested foods for their offspring.

 

you need talent look at valuev he was managed very well

Vargas has fought some of the best and for that my hat goes off to him. One thing he had was balls of steel, I'm sure his preformance vs DLH was effected by being shell shocked by Tito. Though DLH would have probably out classed him anyway. Nuff respect to Vargas he does have a win against Winky who thrashed Tito and would have probably made DLH look a bit silly as well. Vargas always had a better preformance vs Ike when compared to DLH's last second dramatics.

Well you never officially know until fight night, its pretty much rolling the dice once you hit mid level fighters. I'm sure Joel Julio's management thought their fight with Quintana was a sure win. Then you have guy's who almost got done in like Berto vs Cosme.

 

That kind of mentality can get you a custom made pine coffin messing with the wrong type of fighter that just had a child and needs money for the milk.
