    Have seen you post this on multiple threads and frankly it is garbage. KT had lost the first, applied pressure and caught him with an excellent punch. The way Cotto beat him was more impressive because he beat him down round after round. No one has ever done that to Zab before. Mayweather in comparison went neck and neck. Zab showed up ready for the fight of his life, and showed great heart, and was still absolutely punished.

    OF course Zab sustained more punishment in the Cotto fight because that fight went 11 rounds. Tszyu just embarrassed him like no other. In 5 years they will still talk about what Tszyu did to Zab, not what Cotto did to him. :good :yep

    Cotto couldn't do to Zab what Tszyu did because regardless of how hard Cotto hits he has nothing on Tszyu's power.

    oh and for the record based on your logic if Ricardo Torres did what he did to Cotto (or the light hitting Corley for that matter:smoke ) WTF do you think Tszyu would have done. :deal :hi: :bbb

    you are kidding yourself if you think the way Cotto beat Zab was better.

    Tszyu took on the best Zab Judah (undefeated) when he didn't know the meaning of losing, and destroyed him in 2 rounds. End of story. :good

    Castillo is a good win for hatton, but he still was expected by most to take this one out, and Castillo had appeared to be on the decline and has been in a lot of wars. Cotto has been very impressive in knocking out his opposition consistently, where as Ricky has looked average in recent times going the distance with fighters you would expect him to dominate.

    excuse me it was not my logic, i was just countering to the 'if ricky hatton could beat tszyu who ko'd judah imagine what he would do to cotto'

    and for the record cotto won those fights he was in trouble in unlike kostya

    people still remember the fernando vargas beating do they not???
    thats the same type of beatin judah received

    in 5 years people might remember kostya's ko but what does that have to do with anything?? that does not mean it was the worst beating zab received just because people remember it.

    people remember alot of events.

    and puleez stop using emoticons its obvious you are using them to hide your insecurities.

    boo hoo hoo.......

    Cotto and Castillo were both pound for pound top 10 at the time of thier

    losses to Hatton. Cotto beat a guy who has not won a fight in 2 years and

    all of a sudden he is Sugar Ray Robinson. I like Cotto but if you think he hits

    Hatton with a couple body shots and the fight is all but over you are crazy.

    Cotto has never been in the ring with anything like Hatton. Hatton would be

    by far the hardest puncher Cotto has ever faced, he is also much quicker

    than Cotto. Hatton ate shots from Tszyu and Castillo and will make Cotto

    fight backing up. Cotto is a beast but is very methodical and slow on the

    inside, Hatton will carve him up will his combonations and movement. Cotto

    is a one handed fighter because of his square fighting stance. Hatton by

    late stoppage. Cotto went from being under rated to over rated in 10 rounds.

    KT landed a great shot, where as Cotto showed that he is all round the superior fighter. A lot of question marks where apparent after KT won as to what would have happened had Zab continued, or had he not been caught with the one big punch. KT certainly seemed to be troubled up until that point. No questions were there after what Cotto did. It was a dominant performance. IMO more so then what KT did, although it is matter of personal opinion. On paper KT's victory would appear the more decisive, but IMO Cotto's proved more by beating him round after round

    So what if he won those fights, Tszyu never got rocked by a fighter who hit like Corley, and Cotto was rocked bad. If you are going to talk about Tszyu getting hurt by Phillips then you have to use that same logic for your fighter. Can't go one way.

    Something you guys never realize, it's not the loss that matters its how you come back from a bad loss that shows a real champion. Boxing fans have such a big hard-on for undefeated records these days. :good


    Zabs KO loss to Tszyu is still remembered a one of the best KOs ever. That tells you everything you need to know.

    Tszyu was troubled for one round and then came out in the second round and dominated. It wasn't just a great shot, Tszyu was clearly winning the second round and made the neccessary adjustments against Zab. The first flush shot by Tszyu would have ended the fight, whether it be in the second round or 3rd. It was going to happen and happen early. :good

    This post is so biased it is not funny. Hatton would not be the hardest puncher he has been in with. Torres, Quintana even Judah are harder punchers then Hatton. Hatton has one of the worst KO ratios in boxing among elite fighters. You talk about square stance, but Hatton squares his stance up constantly in close quarters. You don't know what you are talking about. To compare KT to Cotto is silly because they are different fighters.

    Also had something to do with him losing and getting badly rocked by a light punching journeyman like Baldomir

    Torres :lol:

    Look at the guys he's KO'd then come on back and tell me who they even are. Then watch Hatton's KO's of Maussa and Castillo then come back and tell me those guys hit harder than him
