He's beaten nothing but faded champs and inexperienced fringe contenders barely out of the Olympics. A lot of his early wins were mainly at a weight class that he was too big for. People consider him to be this much of a threat to Money in a rematch even after knowing these facts. atsch Listen. I am being so honest when I say that Cottoe is absolutely nothing without PBF. It is so undeniably hilarious that Money almost gets no credit for utterly destroying Zab, but Cottoe does, even with the year lay-off and previous 2 losses. It bewilders my mind! Cottoe's status among some of his deranged fans is unjustified. Moving up from 140 before winning a lineal title is already a bad sign and he still hasn't won one, yet Money did in his 18th fight. If Money leaves the sport then it is up to him to fight for lineal supremacy and not be a crybaby about it. Work like Money did and tell your fans to stop *****ing. Maybe someday you'll be as great as Floyd Money Mayweather Jr. Btw...Paul Williams would have killed Cottoe.
:dealYou tell 'em Jakeoaree... The May/Cotto fight was a joke. All those Cotto fans ooing & awing when he threw combos that were immediately shoulda rolled. They need to stay home & watch the fight on TV so they know what is actually landing next time.
Exactly! The crowd was ooohing and aaahing all because Cottoe was throwing wild and semi-retired shots which were mainly picked off by Money's magnificent defense. It was a thing of beauty.
:thumbsupHis defense was on BLAST that night like no other. Loved it, like watching him roll those punches off the ropes. Meanwhile Cottoe cryin' in the locker room bout how he thought he had it (the decision) atsch
Yup. That was inexcusable and poor sportsmanship yet he gets a pass. Imagine if Money left the ring without even granting a post fight interview? He would be CRUCIFIED on here! Talk about double standards. Smh
There was a repeated cycle with Cotto when he was young. He would start having trouble with the opponent, then resort to low blows, and HBO would rave about his vaunted body attack, when replays, and video ****ysis showed, Cotto was blatantly low blowing the opponents. If Cotto doesn't punch Judah, Corley, Torres, etc. in the nuts repeatedly, he doesn't win any of those fights.
