LMAO Cotto vs Mosley should have been a draw

JabCross727 · Jul 5, 2008

Although I believed the fight was close, Cotto did a little more to earn the well-deserved unanimous decision.

Cotto looked scared in that fight. The old 37 year old Mosley gave him clean flush shots to the body and chin.
Sure Mosley took some shots but thats cause hi's d ain't that good. Cotto himself even said he pulled out all the stops in that fight LOL.

Still with all that fight was a draw in my book. Mosley at 37 years gave Cotto a draw and people think Cotto is this saviour? If people think think this Cotto character has any chance against the Real, and only P4P King (PBF) you need to check yourself.

This the classic case of finding a new man to beat the school bully and when the bully beats him up then they find another (PacMan). Then he beats him then lets find another imaginary fighter but then you realize that theirs isn't one.

Mosley was 36 during that fight.

Cotto is an unrhythmic fighter. Mosley had no idea what was coming the whole fight. It wasnt that he looked old or tired, he just was out boxed. Cotto out boxed him and the people that saw it are still in shock to this day. They seem to forget that Cotto is an olympic boxer with a stellar amateur career. A fighter that is left but fights orthodox and shares equal power in both hands. A fighter with a great and very fast jab that comes unpredictably and without pattern or remorse. A fighter, that with a left hook to the body, can stop, drop or halt any opponents chance at flustering him. A fighter that fights anyone, anytime, anywhere and a fighter that will forever be reguarded as the underdog until he beats Mayweather. This, becasue Mayweather has chosen to hang em up, will never happen. Therefore Cotto shold be held in regards with all the other greats who were GREAT but never considered TOO GREAT becasue of their competitions mishaps and not theirs. Fighters like Mike McCallum and what not. It's a sad turn of events when a man like Cotto who never argues money or venue and who fights everone can no be regarded and universally respected as great. At least great, for an era in which so much of boxing has been about business rather than the sport itself. Cotto, a fighter who fights about 3-5 times a year against top competition can not gain the respect of fighters who fight once a year against less than stellar opponents. But thats boxing and thats boxing fans. Its sad, but hopefully one day, after being the underdog for so long, Cotto will somehow find a common ground amongst all fans. That's his goal, he has always said he is about legacy and not money. So far he has proven it, and i think, based on that alone, he should have the respect of all of you.

hehe great post man :good

You should have just seperated that into your own thread!

EpsilonAxis · Jul 5, 2008

I thought it was a draw, too.

But I can't really argue with it. Mosley showed enough to impress everyone...he's really the only guy to take Cotto's shots like that, and not even flinch...

EpsilonAxis · Jul 5, 2008

That being said, I don't think anyone, even Mexican fans, dislike Cotto much. He is just a beauty to behold in the ring...does everything perfectly. He is truly a special fighter and I think history will show that...

There's no agenda Benny. Why did Merchent score it a draw? He hates Mayweather, what's his agenda? Lederman scored it 7-5 and he gave the 12th to Cotto. Many would score that 12th to Mosley. I don't even like Mosley that much. And whether or not, anyone scores the fight for Mosley or scores the fight a draw really doesn't change anything. All 3 judges scored the fight for Cotto, and it wasn't considered a controversial decision. Furthermore, most expected the fight to be close.

I usually make a scorecard during fights live but trash them, kept it and saw the replay with my scorecard not changing much. I'll probably watch the fight again, make one and post it for you whenever I'm bothered enough to do so.

dru · Jul 5, 2008

just like yall talking bout gayweather fans taking ssm in the fight? well i saw the fight a draw? and i cant stand money gay? but same goes for all the cottos notice there all puerto ricans? with puerto rican aviators.. but in all honestly cotto fought damn good! threw alot of great punches in the fight but alot of people thought he blew it due to body language late in the fight can we all just respect that close fight either way.

BodyShots · Jul 5, 2008

Hey newbie!!!!

Why are you talking about this now? Floyd didnt have the balls to fight neither one of these fighters. He would have lost to both Cotto and Mosley. Floyd only beat DLH by 1 point with a SD. Mayweather is retired now, without fighting any of the top welterweights, while miguel is fighting Margarito ( the guy PBF turned down 8 million to fight ) Miguel Cotto is 10x the fighter Floyd will ever be. Cotto actually plans on proving his dominance over others by taking the hardest and best fights out there.

I had Cotto winning 8-4. Cotto outboxed, outslugged, and outfought Mosley, easily.
