    Did you see the Margarito fight? I'm not doubting that Cotto is a warrior, but he has quit iin the past...

    I can see your point regarding the wraps, but disagree in this instance.

    I simpy think Margo broke him mentally and physically. Imagine hitting someone countless times yet all they do is keep chasing harder and firing back faster and harder?

    That was why I brought his stamina into question.

    Margo probably decided to cheat vs Mosley because he knew Mosley had a better chin and a style more likely to cause him problems. As I posted yesterday, I was amazed with that performanxe. Having picked Margo to stop Shane, he was totally beaten up. I could understand Mosley outboxing him to a points win, but a stoppage, never!

    I still think Margo would always beat Cotto because even against Clottey he lept backing away and takimg breathers. The difference was that he was allowed to do so!

    Lotta love for Ricky Hatton but I've always thought he should stay away from Cotto and to fight him now would be a massive mistake.Too strong too powerful and i feel that Cotto's body shots would end early. Dont want to see it.

    is this a joke?
    Hatton was never on the same level as an elite like Cotto, never. Hatton is not shot, he's just been progressively found out as his level of comp. has gone up. Cotto knocks **** out of him like he would've done to 2005 Wicky too.
    2 different levels of fighter, simple as that.

    Harsh, but spot on. No version of Hatton beats any version of Cotto. Cotto faced much bigger punchers (Quintana, Torres) than Ricky at 140, and still prevailed. Even on his best night (against Tszyu), Hatton was felled by a legal bodyshot which wasn't counted. Hatton doesn't take shots well to the body and Cotto is a devastating body puncher. Cotto is - and always has been - on a different level to Ricky.

    By saying that Hatton isn't shot.

    'The man of the people' disappeared after the Castillo fight as I have said before, the excuses for less than stellar performances impeded reasoning, its Ray that annoys me more I must say!
