Cotto will pull the upset wagon... Who's in it??

Guys, I totally understand that no one gives Cotto much of a chance to win when Floyd has displayed greatly plus it's always hard to imagine what you have never witnessed anyway... I have a saying in boxing that for every Sugar Ray Robinson, there's always a LaMotta in their careers. The way I am analyzing this fight is as follows.

Since 2005 when Floyd came to 147lbs he has fought business fights more than anything else, however, most of us will agree that all his opponents since he came to WW have been shot, on their way to retirement, green or in the wrong weight like Hatton and Marquez.

We've seen Cotto beaten... Once against a known cheater which he manage to redeem last year and the fight with PAC in which he came in with the wrong mindset... First the weight was not his optimal weight and second he had a **** for a corner in Joe Santiago. jS had no business to be directing that camp and corner for that big of a fight... Plain and simple.

One thing that those two losses brought is the fact that each guy had an average of 60 thrown punches per round and used effective pressure which is not necessarily Floyd's prime style. Compare that to the amount of punches per round that Floyd average agains SSM and ODH which is 40.

I'm expecting for Cotto not to gas as this will be a slower pace fight for him. Yesterday he looked bigger than Floyd and tonight he will be at least 160 lbs. I know that Floyd is a surgeon in the ring but again.... For every SRR there's always a LaMotta... And we all know that SRR was simply the Best of All Time. I am predicting the upset, so enjoy the fight and I'll see you here after the fight.

I can totally see that some of you will say that I am not touching fundamentals like power, overall skills, speed, footwork and ring IQ which I know that Floyd it's better in some of those areas than Cotto but in boxing, you don't necessarily have to dominate on paper on all areas in order to win... Look at RJJ vs Tarver, ODH vs TIto (don't cry robbery), etc... In boxing you have to be great at certain things and just good enough on others... That's why styles make fights...

 

Dude i am not comparing Cotto to LaMotta by no means... What I am saying is that SRR who's the best fighter ever had someone in his career who had his number.... Perhaps Cotto has Floyd's number
