Cotto does have skills, but he's there to be hit. I'm not convinced by this new Cotto that is suddenly so much better under Roach. The Trout fight told me all I need to know about Cotto at 154 or above. Cotto nailed Trout repeatedly with his much vaunted left hook, and Trout barely blinked. Couple that with the fact that Trout manhandled him like a child in clinches - he pushed him away when Cotto closed in and he was on the ropes. I wouldn't mind if Trout was an iron chinned beast, but Lara and Canelo showed he isn't.
Same thing ppl told me about Martinez "Cotto is a midget and no reach" "Martinez took punches by a cruiser weight in Chavez, Cotto wont be able to hurt him" Same old story bro :deal
Roach wasnt with Cotto for Trout fight so i wouldnt say thats all you need to know about Cotto Cotto actually hasnt got hit preety much at all in his last 2 fights, something i think Roach has worked on also
I think it would be good. Murray can hang for awhile, i just think Cotto's jab with body shots wear down Murray
I know he wasn't there for the Trout fight, but the things that Roach can change aren't where the problem was. Cotto isn't suddenly going to become a bigger puncher in his thirties under Roach. Nor is he going to become vastly stronger. Those were the two reasons he lost to Trout.
he wasnt shot dummy!! That's just yall excuses because you guys picked Martinez. When Floyd whoops pac yall all ready got excuses ready for that too. Just say you was wrong. you didnt think Cotto could hurt Martinez but i did BECAUSE HE WAS DOWN 4 OF HIS LAST 5 FIGHTS!! Are you gonna sit here and argue with me like Martinez wasnt down 4 of his last 5 fights?? Didnt think so! :hi::hi: Like one leg is supposed to stop punches to his face??? atschatsch Martinez got no defense and i thought it was dumb as hell for ppl to pick Martinez based on he's so called bigger but none of you guys didnt think that Cotto WAS THE MOST SKILLED FIGHER MARTINEZ HAS EVER FOUGHT! can you name another fighter that had more skills then cotto" didnt think so. thats why I made $2500 and you sit on keyboard claiming a fighter is shot when all you have to do is realize Martinez just has no defense and is not as skilled as Cotto. It's very simple
Buck I wish we knew eachother in real life so we could make some side bets on fights. I need more people that know boxing to bet with.
and its all because he's MW champ and there mad he is. Why do you want to talk **** about a man because he won a title? this dude has done nothing but fought the best. I promise you dude, if Cotto wasnt MW champ ppl would be loving Cotto and saying Canelo ducked him etc etc. since he's MW King, now "hes scaed of canelo, scared of GGG, a pure diva, one of the worst boxers of all time, fights nothing but cupcakes, scared of everyone, Roach has done nothing for him" Man its just to out of control bro :bart:bart
No way Cotto does what GGG couldnt even manage (though by a hair he missed the bodyshot KO) Murray defense way too much for Cotto, and Murray punches would actually hurt him - and be much easier to land than they were against Golovkin. Cotto was a beast in lower weights where he had a big power advantage. His skill is good but has been drastically overrated by some.
I feel you bro! you should see my crew out here. we be like 10-15 deep at a bar talking boxing loud as hell and ppl looking at us like " wow ppl still watch that" HELL YEAH WE DO!! made a pact to go to at least 4 fights a year in 2009 and stayed to it. Started with Mosley-Margarito..5th row. them mexicans were mad at me next saturday its poppin bro! drumming at Nascar then just got tickets to THurman-Guerrero and Borner-Molina and I get to see Mares live which im excited about. now it looks like Gonzalez-GRJ is coming to Plams on March 28th so i got a packed month coming up fella! if you ever make it out send me a message. you can hang, we'll put some boxing bets in and stuff. :good:good
Murray defesne is to much?? you mean just overing up and laying on the ropes?? thats all bad against Cotto bro. I think Murray punches hurt him to so i think it would be a good fight. i think just to much skills for Murray. I could be wrong :good
Yeah I agree completely. Also he won the title in his last fight. Yet hes a ***** and coward because hes not scheduled to fight GGG in his next fight.
