Thoughts on Miguel Cotto

it's the alt reunion

 

it's unbelievable how he has gotten himself in his best form for floyd. most of floyd's opponents step up anyway. still, cotto lost widely to floyd. it ain't even close. floyd just made it interesting by staying in the pockets but for the most part, it was a clear win by floyd.

 

I said he'd do well against Floyd at 154. The guy is criminally underrated. Just because you lose bad doesn't mean you can't learn.

I hope us young guys learn from in when facing adversity.

 

Feel sorry for Cotto, it was a close fight but cuz Mayweather edged most the rounds the score cards fell in his favour making for quite a wide points margin.

He did far better than i thought, against the best boxer on the planet, against anybody else that could of been a win for him last week.

However hes not very fast and is basic, like Ricky Hatton when your that good at being a brawler type it can take you a long way in the sport but i wont take you past a Mayweather or a Pacquiao.

I have to admit i thought he was lookin a bit shot but last week proved me wrong.

 

He's very good, but not great. He was not compitive against Mayweather. He had moments in the middle rounds, bujt only really deserved the 8th due to Mayweather's lack of action. He spent the other 11 rounds including the ones he at times looked good in getting beat up.

 

How did you et a score of 118-116?

 

On point!

 

Are you serious? Miguel Cotto is no brawler - he is one of the most versatile fighters in the game right now.

 

Uh.. I say it probably backfires. Canelo impressed me last week and it seems he'll only be getting better with every fight now.

 

I think ive only ever seen him fight the exact same style for years.

 

Cotto was drained in his fight with pac, cheated in his fight with margo. Funny thing is all the people now saying that floyd was exposed. I was one of the few that thought cotto had a shot at winning. Cotto is a good fight who floyd beat clearly and clean with no ifs and buts

 

:deal
pacquiao lost some early in his career and learned from it.

 

Cotto is a far superior fighter to Hatton in nearly every department. He is a harder puncher, has better punch variety, is more intelligent in the ring, has better defence, a better chin, FAR better boxing skills, is bigger, stronger, more adaptable. Everything. Cotto is far more than a brawler - he outboxed Mayweather with his jab during stretches of the fight with him and he boxed beautifully against Margarito in the second fight. Cotto can actually feint a guy to land punches with consistency, Hatton did that only very occasionally. Hatton applied ridiculous pressure I'll give him that, and his footwork was faster, as were his hands. But he blocked punches with his face and that's why he fell down at top level.
