    I've always hated Cotto and picked Trout to beat him as well, and I rooted for Mayweather to stop him, so no, not quite. Some people I just don't like, like you.

    Lemieux would be too young and too big for Cotto.
    Assuming its at 160.

    And a Cripple Eyed Margarito. He didn't have the guts to pursue an immediate rematch with Margarito he wanted for an injury to exploit and was chomping at the bit like a ravenous hyena, the man is a ****ing ghoul.

    Yo, no lie though. If this fight were to get made, I'd put in some guap on Cotton. I'm sorry, but I just don't see how Cotton loses to a one dimensional caveman like Lemmy. Yes, Lemmy hits hard, yes he's bigger than Cotton, but what else?

    The guy comes forward in one direction throwing nothing but wide telegraphed hooks. The man made GGG look like Floyd Mayweather by getting comprehensively outboxed by him. Cotton's movement, jab and hooks to Lemmy's fat midsection is what wins Cotton the fight.

    A big risk for Cotto but at the same time winnable

    lol yep. I bet he's probably fought more opponents that have been crippled in some shape or form than he's fought ones that haven't.

    Why the genuine hatred for him though? I don't understand, Cotton's a nice guy who brings it all when he fights. Yeah, he hasn't been the same since getting plastered half to death, but honestly who would? Is it racially motivated? There's a lot of Puerto Ricans in Florida and you're a weird, anti social guy. Did you get bullied in school by any chance?

    Why the dislike for me, why so anti-social bro? There's a life outside of this forum, trust me man.... Once you get a real job and some poon-tang, things will start looking up. :thumbup:

    That is an understatement
    This is suicide for Pinky (Sweet Coto) IMO unless he drains David down to like 156

    What? Do you have some kind of ****ing Cotto alert button on your computer? I haven't seen you in months and the moment Cotto thinks about fighting a GGG leftover here you come.

    I love Puerto Ricans, its not racially motivated, I was never bullied by any Latinos, I got along with them great. Cubans as well. I'm not anti-social in the least, ask most of the forum inhabitants that know me, I'm one of the most approachable people on here. Knock it off with the sniping ad hominem BS with me, I just don't like him, because I have good instincts with people, he's a shitbag diva and an unpleasant anti-social weirdo, why can't you see that?

    I'd say one last try to enhance his legacy, "be great or die trying", but why go with David is something i'll never know.

    No he does not bro....Cotto would have to drain David down to 155 and have a rehydration clause just to see the final bell.

    Not sure when Lemieux got rated so highly. +
    There was a time when David Geale was Golovkin's best opponent according to his fans. So I take it he's been demoted to 4th place now? Jacobs, the Welter Weight, Lemeiux and Geale. Is that the right order?

    David has never beat a fighter remotely close to Cotto's level.

    Beating Lemieux is HARDLY legacy defining.. LOL

    Besides quitting against GGG, what has Lemeiux done?
