i don't think too many will because above welter it's pretty slim pickings. but i agree with you on principle.
yeah but most of the guys at 154 are gonna be retired when he gets there:Winky,Shane,Mayorga,Verno Phillips,Cory gonna be a little old,Oscar,Daniel Santos
Cannot compare Cotto to other boxers (like Pacquaio) . . . "other's medicine is poison to others" I'll say 147 is his best weight . . . if he moves up one more to 154 he'll encounter more difficulties.
yea I think 154 is goin to be it. Even as a cotto fan, being realistic, i don't think he can get anymore success at 154 more than he already has had at previous weight classes. It's sad to say but, IT IS HIS HEIGHT that holds him back :-( As for him fighting winky, that would be a very tough and interestin fight
i dont' know. if any indication, it would be the margo fight. at 154 he would of fought guys as big or bigger than him. 147 could be his limit. doesn't mean he cannot be a great fighter anymore.
He would have to learn how to deal/fight with guys taller than him that either have the same or more punching power than him(i.e. cotto-margarito) and from the looks of it as of right now, he's got a long way to go, so a winky fight would put him in another ****ed up situation.
Are you on crack???? Pacquiao was 16y/o on his firs pro fight. If you are going to go by that I can tell you one thing. Cotto fought Ivan Calderon as amateur
I agre with you on that 1. if he fought delahoya , delahoya wouldve probably made him fight at 150 which is above welter, so I think he could win a couple fights at 154, but 147 is the weight he needs 2 stay at
Well he aint gonna learn in this fight. Only thing he'll learn in this fight is that this fight would be very similar to him fighting PBF.
True True...Brings me to another quick question...what about a winky vs pbf at 154??? and what would that look like??
