if you are to be champion, you have to beat the champion clearly.

:boohoo

Cotto got beat 10-2

 

well, in that case... Cotto was stripped a few days ago, so that wasn't a problem then.

 

Canelo easily outclassed Cotto, his him harder, more often, and at way better connect rate. Canelo defense was better as well.... Cotto put up a good entertaining fight for the most part, but he absolutely did not win 6 or more rounds.

 

Boxing is scored on a 10point must system and scored round by round. To beat a Champion, all you have to do is win more rounds than him. ie: 12 round fight win 7 rounds

 

You obviously didn't by the thread topic. You said you have to beat the Champ clearly. Umm, no. You have to win more rounds.....


Get it right... atsch

 

yup, belts are nothing anymore when boxing is just won by rounds. the challengers are not considered challengers anymore since all players are equal once in the ring. there is no more advantage of being a champion and challenger putting on more effort to get the belt so all belts are meaningless now and does not deserve any fees whatsoever as the organizations do not protect their champs. all is well then. it leads the way to eliminating all boxing organizations.

 

Wtf? All players should be equal, no? Should a lower seed baseball team get fewer outs to play with? Boxing has been scored by the round a lot longer than you've been alive so I find it funny how some of you guys get on here and pretend to reminisce about the good ole days when boxing used to be great.
