If you could take one currently active fighter and fiddle them in Aussie passport, who would it be? For me Id have to say Cotto. Hes just such a classy guy and a consumate professional. No **** talking or anything, just gets on with the job at hand. Stylistically a great guy to watch too. It would really get a lot of people into the sport in Oz if he was a local. Who's your pick?
Id go for the nice guy and great fighter, Ricky Hatton, the way he spoke to Chicos wife after he (Ricky) beat Castillo (spelling) was beautiful......... so respectful and heart felt it was great moment for boxing IMO. Well done Sai, starting some good threads :good
for me its a draw between Kelly Pavlik and Chris Arreola - both are crowd pleasers and would fit in well as Aussies!
I'd go with Floyd, but Muttley has probably already chosen him. Maybe Cotto, maybe Kessler, Hatton has the trademarks of a fighter Australia could get behind.
Both great fighter!!!! Cant wait to see the Nightmare fight again!!! He is fighting Thomas Hayes on the 21st of next month. Hayes record is 26-1 18ko but he fights chumps always , until now of course. His only lost was his 3rd fight to a guy with a record of 5w-33l, who went on to improve his record to 6w-31l :-( Time to step up Chris!!!!!
Arreola has got nearly 6 inches of height on this guy - hopefully another big KO from the Nightmare Whats a good weight for Chris? 220-230 or so?
Hard to say, at 6'4 i think he could be a fit 235 pounds, but he still has some fat to turn into muscle so we will wait and see.
i just wouldnt choose him now because i wanted to pick a fighter with 10 or so pro fights left in them Mosley is going to school Cotto so bad - better get outta hear before MSTR sees this :shock:
**** off ****. Cotto will destroy old man Mosley. I have no doubt in my mind. I was actually more nervous for the Judah match up then this one, because IMO Judah has better one punch power then todays version of Mosley. People still try to claim Mosley as a puncher, but lets face it, while he isn't feather fisted, he certainly isn't a puncher anymore, having taken guys like Estrada, Cruz and Collazo the distance in recent times.
