Excuses come from fans. Call it what you want, spin it in your preferred direction, but it still does not change the facts. To interpret things like practice, training, conditioning, etc. having no bearing and being excuses, leads to the opinion that these guys were just born this way, with all skills and attributes predetermined. This is like saying no amount of teaching will improve your level of mentality. Failing the test because you didn't study is just an excuse. You would have failed anyway.
Not being adequately prepared for a fight is no one elses fault but the fighter himself. 1. for accepting the fight without the resources needed to help you be at your best. 2. for being an arrogant ***** who thinks a good preperation is not needed and taking the fight anyway.
The thing is that Martinez fought REAL, HEALTHY middleweight. He fought a 180+ JJCJ. He was not looking to fight WW like Cotto. Plus he beat a 28 year old Palvik, not a 39 year old, 14 month layoff, torn shoulder having no leg having fighter.
No he wasn't. He still on has two losses, one to Hopkins and and on to Martinez. Plus Martinez was already 35.
Another meeting of the "I Hate Miguel Cotto Because He Brutalized And Exposed My Favorite Fighter" Support Group. Come on guys, let it all out. It's good to talk about it.
stop complaining bro! I could care less about Martinez! HE WAS THE ONE THAT DECIDED GGG WAS NOT A DRAW AND TRIED TO PICK ON THE LITTLE GUY!! And you trying to blame Cotto for this?? Tell Martinez he should've got some ***** and fought GGG then deal
Agree, Cotto is a fraud who will get KO'd by the first decent, non crippled opponent he faces. he ducked Alvarez because he knows he'd get wrecked.
yeah these cry babies!! I was literally the only one that was picking Cotto and i picked him by KO!! (maybe some other ppl picked Cotto but didnt make a thread about it and didnt say KO for sure) But Martinez never had defense and Cotto was the best skilled fighter he ever fought so it wasnt hard for me to Pick Cotto! Now there fighter gets destroyed and all they wanna say is bum knee like his knee blocks his punches!! DUDE KEEPS HIS HANDS DOWN ALL THE TIME!!! So he did it again against competiton hes never facved before and got his A$$ whooped, stuip ppl need to deal with it. Chavez jr could be 180+ pounds, he doesnt compare to COTTO AT ALL!!! He sucks and will never be on Cotto's level...EVER!! PPL need to stop complaing weight like that alone wins fights.
That's because you and Kid Cincinnati are die hard loyal Cotto fanboys and you'd have picked him anyway, and now because you all lucked out with Sergio being a gimp and are acting like you were geniuses. Austin Trout dominated him any legit MW without an injury obliterates him.:deal
you think I just pick Cotto all the time because Im a Cotto fan??? right..... http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=150824 SO whatever bro :hi::hi: and I picked because I already broke it down. name a fighter Martinez fought with Cotto's skill level...just name one....you cant.. he was down 4 of his last 5 fights...am i lying. Easiest $2500 i ever made...and made that in 30 mins :good:good:happy
Golovkin will become Cotto's mandatory. What will Cotto do? Cotto will give up his title rather than fight Golovkin. Golovkin will knock Cotto out if that fight happens, but Roach will try to keep Cotto away from Golovkin.................
You picked Cotto because he's PR. If Cotto was English or African you would of bet the house on Martinez. Your loyal, I'll give you that. BTW if Chavez Jr was not on Cotto's level why doesn't Cotto fight him then. Chavez would rip Cotto to pieces. The Different between Cotto and Chavez is Chavez takes his beating like a man, unlike Cotto ...well you know the rest.:hey
No it's an "I hate Miguel Cotto because he talks in the thrid person, fights shot and old fighters and gets full credit for it, punches low and body slams when he's hurt, starts to look for a way out when the fight gets tough, and never beat a A level fighter in their prime". Support Group :good
