People call Cotto a knee-taking diva *****, but in reality, he has more courage than most of us ever will just by getting in the ring. He's been in some great fights against Margarito and Pacquiao.
Merely stepping back in there with Margarito again took massive cojones, and required climbing all sorts of mountains of psychological baggage.
Yep, mentioned indirectly on the last page, but you'll never find a trilogy more brutal, nor as mutually taxing.
The only reason hes a Diva is cause hes holding up the so called linear title while refusing to fight The Man No shame in what he did vs Margo at all - i was stunned at how tough Margo was as Cotto beat the utter **** out of him yet the Tornado never stopped comng forward
I agree completely but let's not underestimate the influence Arum had in making that second fight with Margarito happen.
I'd like to throw in Katsidis after JMM but I'm not sure if Guerrero finished the job in his next fight.
Here's one for all of you. What about Randall Bailey vs. Mike Jones? Randall not only knocked him out, but essentially knocked him out the sport?
Ali/Frasier I fight took A Lot out of both. Neither had taken anything remotely close to the punishment they did in that one. Both ended up in the hospital and reports were that Joe was in very bad condition days after the fight. Neither fighter really the same after that one. Ali would go on to win the title 2 more x but his reflexes eroded quite a bit.
