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

No he's not.:yep

 

Cotto has been fighting setups against overmatched opponents. His best win was against a guy coming off a one year layoff and two loses. Cotto is supposed to be the 2nd best WW out there, he's on many top ten p4p lists and he's going on 27. There should be no more setups for this guy. I'm sorry but I have not been impressed by Cotto's resume so far. However, fighting Mosely is a good fight for him and is certainly acceptable.

 

Why Im glad Cotto has finally started to to live up to your high standards Reg; That in itself is quite an accomplishment

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl, but true

 

And I agree with both of you. I give this argument every time I see him on a P4P list.

 

:yep :rofl :rofl :rofl

I wonder if they show Sammy Sosa highlights in Columbia?

Boxing IQ test should become mandatory before becoming pro.

 

I dunno....one could make a case that they avoided him. How do you know who avoided who?

 

But you're just assuming these things. Morales doesn't have the same style as JMM. It is conceivable that he was viewed as high risk low reward. Why did Barrera beat Hamed but not try and unify with a guy holding 2 of the belts in that weight class? You cannot assume that JMM avoided them cuz the fight didn't come off.

 

You're assuming here!!

Most inside of Boxing believe it was JMM who was avoided, not the other way around. He is considered to have been the best of the bunch because he was the most well rounded, and had a better skillset than all of them. He could outbox you or,take you out! He was the least known, but the most dangerous, and he was prime then!!

BTW...Nacho turned down the rematch out of spite, not JMM!!

 

No need to be a smart ass. When it comes to crtitiquing someone's resume, there's nothing you can offer except an opinion. In my opinion, Cotto's resume has been suspect so far.

 

You are still assuming here. And the only pattern I see here is that you are pushing the fighters than Pacman beat over the one he didn't.

Yes, JMM went to indonesia to fight an unbeaten fighter. How horrible of him.

 

A fighter that everyone else continues to avoid to this day.

 

The Baby Bull now bring on David Diaz!

 

I am not going to forget Pac. YOU brought him up. I am assessing the situation and following logic. And that seems to be the pattern here.

Like you said, Pacman made JMM famous. Prior to that he was a high risk low reward fighter. The reason Pacman fought him was to unify. Why would JMM decide to take an offer to fight the man who just destroyed MAB but duck MAB prior to that?

See how the questions can be turned around? It's assuming.
