truthfully in my opinion Gomez looked worse than Cotto looked good no doubt Gomez looked bad at the hands of cotto but it wasnt fair to begin with gomez not in the same class and there are several fighters you could have put in the ring with gomez and they would have looked just as amazing.. Cotto No doubt is one of the best in the game right now period.... keep in my that his opponent was not ready for that level of skill....
Agreed, everyone knew what was going to happen but then acts like Cotto beat the greatest fighter in the world. We all knew what would happen and all Cotto did was do what HE WAS SUPPOSE TO DO against a fighter of Gomez's caliber. and I like Cotto but come on...
Well you just stated why Cotto is getting tons of praise. "Cotto is no doubt one of the best in the game right now" so what more needs to be said? There was absolutely nothing you could even nit-pick about his performance. Mayweather surely knows Cotto would be the best he has faced
I honestly thought Gomez would be much tougher due to the face he fought at the higher weights. Cotto impressed me
Eh I think most of us that were picking Gomez did so just because he was a big underdog and could possibly spoil plans that Cotto was looking for down the road. I guess we were all just thinking about how he overlooked Corley and how he nearly paid the price for that. But he seems to have matured since then. He looked just right against Gomez. And Gomez just showed what level he is on. No more or less than that. Gomez is still a tough nugget though. While you should rightfully see Cotto as a big threat to Margo, you should also realise that Margo is much better than Gomez. Margo-Cotto is the premiere welterweight fight and that's really all there is to it. We don't need Mayweather in the welterweights anymore. Bring on Cotto-Margarito!
I agree with the thread. Cotto is my favorite fighter, but we all knew Gomez was a bumb. However, I'm glad Cotto got in some rounds to show people his hand speed, footwork, and his overall boxing skills that have always been there.
fitz is an idiot. he might not show his face for a while. or he may just change his name and come in as a newbie.
