Why must Cotto continuously prove himself??

So what does that make of Cotto's win over Mosley? I think it was a good win for Cotto but going by your logic the age gap between Cotto and Mosley is even greater. So what do you think?

 

:good

 

thats the thing ... mayweather is considered the top fighter in the world ...he dosn't have no buisness fighting guys like delahoya who are part time fighters...

cotto aparently is a nobody underachiever young up and commer whos unproven .. according to the consensus ... he has every right to fight a mosley ...

 

Just imagine if we judged both of these fighters on their past two fights alone ! This thread would have a diffrent name in the title and the same crap will repeat itself over and over and over and over !!

 

You're still around here? Thought you would have found something a little more productive to do with your time by now, big dog.

Anyway, why is that part of the problem? He's the top of the food chain, so he's EARNED the right to choose what he eats. Whereas the likes of Cotto, and your boy Margarito whom you used to speak so highly of, can talk all they want. When they EARN the right to fight Floyd, he'll give 'em a shot, and he'll lay them out ****ing cold just like he did Hatton.

 

I want to see these two mix it up as bad as everybody else but you have to look at boxing from a couple different point of views. Legacy and Money as both are very important. His first fight with Oscar was not a big deal to me because thats the business side of things. Sometimes you have to go after the lucarative fights while you can. I am positive he will fight Cotto next year but you can't knock him for fighting Oscar the first time. Any fighter would have done the same thing. Now him fighter Oscar the second time it's pretty said as I think he should be fighting Cotto this year.

Now let me ask this If Floyd didn't except the terms to rematch with Oscar do you think Oscar would have fought Cotto instead? That's the only other big fight out there and If I remember correctly Cotto's trainer sad that he would wether fight Oscar instead of Floyd if they had the chance because he brings more money to the table ( that didn't come from Cotto's mouth).

My point is from both ends it would have been difficult to get this fight off like it should because De La Hoya continues to dip his nose in the WW division where the only major influence here is money.

 

Wow !! So are you saying that Cotto's wins over Judah and Mosely didn't earn him a shot at Floyd ?

Amazing I guess that falls in line as to what earned MW a shot at Oscar !!

Beating the likes of Baldi ,Judah , and Gatti surely are held higher than Judah and Mosley alone aren't they ??

Yup I see how things are equal for all fighters !

Then you wonder why boxing gets scrutinized so much !! Money is always the default excuse !!

 

If he keeps making solid title defenses and racking up the Wins, he might turn into the marvin hagler of the welterweight division.

 

His win over Judah was not a big deal considering he was coming off that long layoff and string of losses. Mosley and Quintana was good wins and that's deserving enough if you ask me.

 

Right but couldn't the same be said about MW's win over Oscar ?

But I agree his wins over Quintana and Mosley are more than enough especially the Quintana win ..How much does that win raise Cotto's stock considering Quintana just beat Williams ? If thats not enough to earn him a shot them I don't know what is ?

 

That's it man.

You need to go slap yourself for that comment.

That was about the dumbest **** I've ever heard. Estrada is a tough fighter that doesn't give up. He gives off relentless pressure and he kept his pride in his fight vs Mosley.

Sparring match? You're talking out your ass.

 

I agree with some of your post ... I don't understand why both fighters are being pressed for this match up when they don't need each other. Mayweather is a veteran ... Cotto is an up and coming "star" ...

I do feel Mayweather will win ... no by SD, but by TKO victory in mid rounds.

I think that he would be too much for Cotto to handle down the stretch.

One thing for certain ... after PBF leaves the game ... Cotto will take his place as the top dog in the division.

A loss to the best fighter in the game only solidifys his status, once PBF bows out the game.

 

You're funny ... we're talking about boxing here ... not a tough man competiton.

Just because he's relentless or doesn't give up doesn't mean anything ... it didn't get him a title shot and it didn't give him victories over Mosley, Cintron, or Berto ... who at the time they fought didn't have a championship themselves - and for the exception of Berto those guys were rebounding off tough losses.

Estrada is a stepping stone ... and he's been put in the position to give more talented - more touted - up and comers and tough fight for 12 rounds (if its scheduled for 12) ... he's a guy thats going to take alot of punches and not stop coming ... he's there to test a young fighters progress.

 

I think Cotto v Mayorga is ridiculous because Cotto would easily outbox him ... its some bull**** and a fight that Cotto doesn't need on his resume, unless he rebounding from a loss.

Mayorga doesn't bring anything to the table for Cotto and is too dangerous a fight - even in victory.

Why would Cotto risk getting hit by a bull**** ass punch and possible lose a fight to a guy that doesn't do anything for him in anyway?
