why do people still doubt cotto??

Those four would not rank as Mayweather's four best wins. Cotto beat all of them after Mayweather. And Cotto beat two of them at a higher weight than Mayweather did(alot of fighters aren't as efffective when they move up). Lastly, look at both fighters, it's obvious which one is more highly skilled(that being said I still think Cotto is a very talented fighter).

 

Are the same people making both statements? I doubt it. Therefore, it makes perfect sense that both are criticised for their brashness or lack there of. Some people like their fighters to be brash and talkative like Mayweather, others like their fighters to be quiet and reserved like Cotto.

 

dude mosely was on a show with players from the NBA and NFL and it was like battle of the superstars or something like that and they did the 100, benchpress, longjump, and all sorts of other things. I saw him bench 315 12 times and he finished 5th in that event. All the others was amazed because shane was so small. All and all he didnt fair that well in that show I think that he finished like 12 out of 15 guys, but he did benchpress 315 12 times.:good

 

Floyd was never had any problems with those fighters and Cotto did. Him stopping those guys and Floyd not doesnt mean that Cotto beat them in better fashion. that would be like saying a fighter that pulled out a late round tko was more impressive over a fighter that another fighter beat the **** out of for 12 rounds but didnt stop him. Or a better example is the fact that Paulie Mags beat N'dou much easier or in better fashion(to use your words) then Cotto did...What does that mean???

 

Impressive but doesnt do much for boxers, I hear Cotto squats a more than impressive weight, don't know about benchpresses though I do know squats add to your preformance in the ring improving overall strengh and helping the body release testosterone on a more regular basis.

 

It's not ONLY Cotto buddy, every fighter have doubters. :good

 

Dude, WTF? You think most people actually like what comes out of Floyd's mouth? :-(

I don't understand the point of this thread. If Cotto took the kind of heat that Mayweather or Taylor receive, you might have a point. As it stands now, most of the people who trash him are the same fickle boxing "fans" who exploit any minute flaw that a fighter displays so they can talk ****. There were a lot more idiots ranting about his "glass jaw" after the Torres fight despite the fact that Miguel dusted himself off after talking a huge shot and came back to stop the guy. Most of them have shut their mouths after Cotto's past few performances though. If anyone still questions him, it's because his opposition has been good but not great. Mosely is by far his biggest challenge, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he handles himself.

If Cotto puts on a good show against Shane and a significant number of people still question him, then I would understand a response like this on your part. Until then, calm down.

 

Sad but true.

 

Who cares about bench presses, when technique and handspeed gives you more power than strength alone does.

 

OK I say this if Cotto wips Sugar shanes ass everyone else must shut the **** up finally. Cotto is a world class fighter a special fighter. Shane is a hall of famer who I respect for taking tough Challenges I have more respect for Mosely than any other fighter in the game today. The guy has fought the toughest comp of any fighter out there period. Cotto is supposed to kick his ass the table is set for Miguel this is his moment. Shane is not going to fold or just give in, Props to both fighters for taking this challenge. If Miguel wins then he is confirmed and everyone must shut the **** up, if he loses but does well, then a measure of respect please. I cant wait for this fight its the final test for Miguel.

 

Cotto is a good fighter, but he is a very flawed fighter?atsch

 

One thing for sure this fight will not go the distance.

 

Really?

I happen to think the fight will go the distance with someone winning a UD or SD.

 

Like I said NONE of them could dent an egg! & Don't forget the powerful Malignaggi! Ha,Ha!

 

Damn Mexicans raining on our parade....

Q is actually a pretty big puncher when he puts them together, Joel felt some of those shots but he played it safe and didnt go in for the kill for fear of his own possible KTFO outcome. Joel Julio might not be the brightest bulb in pack but he sure packs a punch when he lands flush.
