how do you figure that one? he has lost both rematches he fought in...mind you, against excellent opposition in Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright but still, he came up short. I do however think Mosley, since his last fight and with Nazeem as his trainer, is a threat to anyone and will pose a more difficult challenge for Cotto (from the last time they met) if they were to fight again
shane looked good against margo but by the time these fights happen{cotto2-clottey} i think he will be over the hill imo no matter how good he looked against margo ....i never thought once that cotto beat mosley easily i thought the fight could have went either way....i think shane looked terriable against maroyga and he just put on the performance of his life against margarito ...so i would have to go with another COTTO UD and as for clottey im uncertaint
he had been out of the picture for almost 4 months now..too bad, he really never got hurt in his last fight. i would love to see him fight thrice this year..but it's been the trend that top fighters fight only twice a year unlike in the 1990s when the elite boxers fight thrice a year
I tend to hope Mosley would beat Cotto in the rematch. I had him winning the first fight. But I honestly think Cotto is a pretty tough style match for Mosley, in the sense that Cotto has great ring generalship and knows how to keep Mosley from doing his typical "in out in out" style. I think Mosley beats Clottey, though, specifically due to that in-out style. Clottey's style is kinda similar to Winky Wright's, but Wright is a lot bigger a guy naturally.
Amazing...cotto outboxes the so called better boxer at times he has a game and determined mosely looking desperate wing wild right hands yet he's now the underdog in a rematch?? God forbid you support miguel as your labled a"nutthugger" I like to call it sound recognition. Sure shane has the nutz and bolts...power,speed, durability as his advantages but cotto has the technical ability to soundly counter and outbox shane. I'm a cotto fan no doubt but I can't help him in his current situation its more than apparent that the boxing public is flimsy, one mis-step and your demoted vulnerable and exposed. Cotto need to get on his job and re-establish himself as an elite fighter all this bashing needs to be ceased but he's gonna have to do it himself.
Cotto won that Shane fight. I had it tied but can definitely see how Cotto could be given the decision. But to make it seem like he won easily and completely outclassed Shane is a bull**** lie. Nothing of the sort happened. And anyway, once he gets in the ring with Joshua, all of this Cotto elite talk will cease. Can't ****in wait.
I ain't no Cotto fan, but i ain't just gonna call out all the "spanish cats" like that either. Yall do support your boy kinda hard though.
we have to bro...us Boricuas have to work twice as hard than anyone to achieve what others are easily given...
Cotto's no god...but his ability to be put through the fire only adds to his allure. I was hooked on boxing because of terry norris so I know all about pain and dissapointment
