    His resume is better but i think Sergio is the better fighter prime for prime.

    Cotto does have a better resume slightly though.. Not sure Cotto beats prime Paul Williams. Cotto also has a better resume then Mayweather.. Resume don't mean Cotto beats either in the ring. I'm a fan of both men n I'd love to see that fight get made, but Arum won't put Cotto in the ring with Serge until he slows down significantly.

    Considering that Sergio has only been at the top for the past 3 years, its not surprising that Cotto has a better resume.

    Cotto has been near the top of the game for almost a decade.

    Don't see how that view is even arguable unless you're looking only at opponents faced alone and not wins/losses or you're only looking at work above 140, and even on those two scores I think Cotto might still lose.

    "LOL gay *****s acting like Cotto is a great opponent"
    "Cotto is better than the #3 P4P fighter in the world"

    ******* bipolarism at its finest.

    Did the bookies know Foreman was fighting on one leg. :rofl


    Look, Kirkland, Angulo, Lara, Williams, Molina, Alvarez, hell even Bundrage would have beaten the Foreman that Cotto fought.


    There is absolutely nothing impressive about that victory. Hell he got KO'd by Pawel Wolak in his very next fight, a fight where he lost every round. A featherfisted, handicaped one legged boxer. Lord save us from Cotto's dominance. :lol:
    Pacquiao's offense nullified Margarito. Mosley's defense was what beat Margarito however. Margarito only landed 70 something power shots. And Mosley isnt known for his defense. Which shows you how porous defensively Cotto was and still is. Margarito landed 150 punches, about 50 more punches against Cotto, then he did against Mosley. While throwing pretty much the same amount.


    Scuff marks. :lol: Youre eyes dont start bleeding from scuff marks.
    Umm he's slower, there's less pop on his punches, less stamina, less punch resistance. Umm you do know that just because a brawler fights the same that doesnt mean he is the same especially considering he's been knocked out and brutalized in his last 2 fights at the championship level. And his only other fight against a journeyman he looked terrible. Clearly this isnt hte same Margarito. And still Cotto was tiring and being worn down.
    Margarito's eye closed because of the damage that was caused by Pacquiao. Look at the rest of his face. Why are there no marks?
    You're claiming Cotto could be competitive against Margarito. He better have some shining points on his resume at 154 if you are claiming that he can contend with the Middlewight champion of the entire world.
    No he couldnt. Barkers style against Martinez was predicated on the height and reach advantage. Did you even watch the fight? When has Cotto ever fought in the manner? And how would fighting in that manner against a bigger, stronger, taller longer opponent do anything for Cotto but get him KO"d even faster?
    Uhh yeah thats what I said. He forced him to lead and he got away with it because of his height and reach advantage. :patsch
    If Cotto allowed Martinez to lead and get off first he would be beaten to a bloody pulp. Cotto does not have the defense, the head movement, the timing, nor the height and reach to get his jab to Martinez before Martinez obliterated his face with right hooks and left hand leads.
    Name them. :rofl
    Barker was static behind the high guard because he had the height and reach advantage to do so, and it was the perfect defense against what Martinez was trying to do. Again it was BArkers height him being 6'1 and his reach that allowed him to nullify Martinez aggression. Cotto cant stop Margarito from busting up his face. How the **** is he gonna stop Martinez?
    Oh god. :lol:
    Not only is he miles superior to Foreman in every conceivable way, he is not fighting on one leg. What a dumb comparison.

    Pavlik has a better jab then Cotto. A far better right hand. The punching power isnt even comparable. And defensively I dont think Cotto's that much superior to Pavlik. Considering the fact that in pretty much every fight Cotto's been in so far he's been marked up. Hell he lost 2-3 rounds to a shot Mayorga.


    Williams has a higher workrate then Cotto. Much better offensively at overwhelming his opponent. Much better stamina. Much higher power. And his chin is or was far superior aswell before Martinez cracked it.


    Neither Williams nor Pavliks shots had much effect on Martinez. And they are both miles more powerful then Cotto. And you believe Cotto is going to able stick behind his 67inch reach jab, against Martinez who has a better jab, more power, better timing and better footwork then Cotto? Are you high? :rofl

    What makes you think there is a large gap in skill? the only fight we've seen from Darren Barker at a high level is against Martinez. And he did fairly well. In comparison Martinez would obliterate Cotto in 8 rounds.


    Well your wrong. Martinez has a better jab, better timing, better footwork, far more power, and is far faster then Cotto. While at the same time being 4 inches taller, 5 inch longer reach, and 20lbs heavier.


    Martinez would destroy Cotto. Why dont you ask Uncle Bob to make the fight *******?

    Cotto is nowhere near the skill of Marquez, and Martinez is nowhere near as dumb as Pacquiao. When Barker had Martinez confused, Martinez started going to his body. Pacquiao doesnt know how to adapt inside the ring. Martinez does.

    MW, you're not really good at addressing arguments holistically. I can't be bothered to reiterate points you're clearly not addressing in the way you chop up my posts. Sorry.

    You're a moron. Cotto can make Martinez give up his height advantage. Make him lead and time him coming in. Use superior lateral movement.:lol::rofl:lol:


    I know you are trying to hype up Cotto *******. Tell your boy to beat a top 10 fighter at JMW first before you think about saying he'd be competitive with the Middleweight champion of the world.


    But you're right. 6'1 170lb Barker did it! Surely 5'6 67 inch reach 154lb Cotto could do it!!!

    ****ing moron.

    Pavliks jab is far stronger. Plus his length and reach advantage make it far harder to counter. Hell Pacquiao was countering Cotto's jab. :roll:


    Cotto is a southpaw who fights orthodox. Pavlik is a classic fighter. Who's 1-2 would put Cotto to sleep the first time it landed.


    But I see you got a Cotto avatar. Can you tell your boy to fight a legit JMW. I wanna see him bleed some more.

    How many knees would Cotto take against Martinez? Or would Martinez be merciful and just knock him out?
