Cotto's Resume vs. Floyd's Last 10 fights

Good counter-post Gandul.

18 months ago I would have given Cotto a chance, but a slight chance of an upset. However, after seeing how steady he has been at 147, seeing how well he not only handled Mosley & Judah's speed and power, but bettered them in both departments. Combined with the new wrinkles he has added to an already awesome arsenal and his activity. Now, Jux-to-position that against PBF's antics, competition and activity level and you simply have to give Cotto a very serious chance of toppling PBF. PBF is an amazing fighter, but anyone who doesn't give Cotto a chance is deluding themselves.

 

Thanks, that's my point. At 147, I think that Cotto has a serious chance. Bottom line, let's say that noone should be surprised if either fighter wins. Unless is a total 1 sided fight in which I don't see that.

Anyway, I hope Steve Forbes wins against ODLH jajajajajaj :good :woot :cheers arty

 

Again SSM beat DLH in their prime. He proved THAT NIGHT who the better fighter was. Its been polled numerous times throught the years and it's KNOWN SSM won. That SD the first time and Floyd's SD are both happy busllhist, given to DLH(Golden Boy), by inept or corrupt judges.

It's you who should perhaps check out some honesty.

Cotto has beaten more top WW's than Floyd. That's fact not perception. Its precisely why the perception is changing around the Floyd cheer leading squad:good

Cotto ko'd the same guy Floyd didnt:good Cotto has fought guy's Floyd WOULDNT. And you give Floyd credit?

:nono

 

Cotto has the better resume at 147 and Floyd has the better overall. I would say the only reason Cotto has the better resume at 147 is because his win over Mosley. If he beats Margo then there shouldn't even be a dispute over who has the better resume.

THREAD ENDER!
:deal

 

The one common opponent they share on that list is Zab Judah and Cotto beat the **** out of him, worse then Floyd.

 

I don't see this as a legitimate knock on Floyd though. He beat him how Floyd beats fighters, and Cotto beat him how Cotto beats fighters. They both won, and convincingly.

 

Floyd lost 3 or 4 rounds in my book, and then took over the fight.

It could just as easily be argued that Zab had Cotto hurt, and while got the flash KD on Mayweather, he never hurt him.

I don't rate one win over the other really, both were great in IMO.

 

Why do you keep discrediting Floyd for the Baldomir victory because you don't think that Baldomir was on his level ... who gives a **** ... Baldomir had something that Floyd had to take ... his lineal undisputed title.

Judah was coming off a loss to Floyd and 400+ days of inactivity when he fought Cotto, so Cotto's win is much more tarnished because Zab hadn't had any rounds for over a year and was coming off 2L's and lost 3 of his last 4 ... I don't get why you discredit Floyd for his win against Zab but give Cotto all the credit in the world.

You arguement is getting repedetive and isn't making any sense ... you say that he hasn't fought anyone yet ... all the guys he's fought after fighting Sharmba Mitchell we established fighters and had accomplished something at the time they fought Floyd.

He's fought more champions than Cotto ... thats apparent and if you don't see that, then you're just a flat out hater.

There's no denying that Cotto is good but to give him so much credit and to put him a notch above Floyd based on having more fight at WW is ridiculous.

Floyd has fought the harder guys ... you can't tell me that anyone of those guys Cotto has fought would last against Floyd. Even Mosley ... he would get blownout to a UD ... he's shown that he can box and that his fame and accomplishments above lightweight come from fighting DLH and when he has attempt to unify title against anyone outside of DLH ... he's lost.

Maybe Cotto has fought more fights at WW but the truth is he isn't fighting anyone. He's just defending his belt ... if that gives him the better resume then hey he has the better resume.

Thats not boxing ...

 

Everything looks different depending on who is looking at it. Rankings look different in every organization. We also could point out that Malignaggi, Torres and Quintana are champions right now. So that tells you those boxers were comming up like Cotto and not going down the hill. If we only look at numbers then Ricky Hatton was 43-0 but we also know he looked very poor against Collazo. I can't wait to see Hatton against some other good 147lbs. Or maybe against Paulie or Torres. I would love to see that. But like Cotto would say. Is time to worry about Margarito. We can think about Floyd later.

 

Baldomir!!! Well, he had his moment of glory against Zab and Gatti. Same Gatti that got KO by Alfonso Gomez.
