miguel cotto:i am in love with boxing again

Miguel Cotto is an awesome fighter. IMO probably the best win of Pac's career.

People forget the time when Miguel Cotto pretty much singlehandedly cleaned up 140 lbs when it was one of the deepest divisions...maybe ever.

 

Wait a minute, when the hell did Cotto clean up 140? He never fought, Tszyu, Gatti, Hatton, Harris, or Mayweather. He never unified at 140, he never even beat a reigning champ at 140.

 

I don't think he's lying but wouldn't expect him to say the opposite and kill interest in the fight.

 

Yeah.. I have no idea what that bull**** is all about! He has never even tried to unify any division. And he has never beaten a reigning champ.

 

Who's the best guy he beat at 140, Paulie? He beat better fighters at 147.

 

foreman will present a good challenge but cotto will beat him

 

Torres, Abdullaev, Corley, N'dou and Maussa are all good wins at 140.

 

By the time Cotto was on top, Hatton beat Tszyu, PBF beat Gatti, and Harris was blown out by Maussa. He didn't get to fight Hatton or PBF, that's true.

Who he did fight, however, is (although some of these were at 147 but guys who moved up):

Torres
Bailey
Abdullaev
Branco
Corley
Pinto
Maussa
Judah
Malignaggi
N'dou

A lot of these guys went on to win titles after getting their ass whooped by Cotto, and all of them were very good fighters in a very deep division.

While guys like Gatti were picking on lightweights and PBF was fighting tuneups, Cotto was kicking serious ass in the division.

 

These are all B/C level guys. I can't even believe you mentioned Maussa and Abdullaev. Corley was a gatekeeper when Cotto got to him. N'Dou is basically a journeyman. Torres was a solid fighter.

 

Cotto will beat foreman by a comfortable margin...and will suprise some people...

 

:rofl

 

The funny thing is three guys in that list Mayweather beat before Cotto got to and Cotto at the time was considered green and still rising.

You need to correct something, while Cotto was fighting top notch opponents there, Mayweather failed to get Hatton(the top guy at 140 since beating Tszyu) in the ring because Hatton wanted two more fights to be ready. Then Mayweather moved up and Cotto went on to fight those "impressive" guys only to move up and fight the same guys Mayweather fought and beat, but for some reason it wasn't cherry picking and tune-up material for Cotto, it was legacy. Why didn't Cotto at least try to get Hatton at 140?

 

Maussa, despite his obvious laughable limitations, went on to beat Harris for the WBA title. Yes, the same Harris that the media was hyping as the most feared man on the planet at the time.

 

I have a feeling that your little terrorist will get knocked out
