Will Cotto ever be as good as Tito?

I can't even believe tito had a 6 pack after he came out looking like a butterball against RJJ. He was so out of shape it was ridiculous.

 

I wouldnt take it as far as saying his body looked pretty good but I am pretty sure he was in shape. :yep

 

Torres was WBO #1 contender at the time. Quintana would have been given the WBA title had Cotto not fought him for it. He didnt cherry pick anything. These guys proved themselves. Same as Cotto. They werent the only fighters that were green. Cotto was in the same situation.

 

Nobody is saying that he is THE champion yet. But from his body of work, he is the #1 contender for Mayweather. Dont you agree?

 

didn't Torres take the fight with short notice? Who was on Q's resume prior to Cotto? Cotto was a little green but, he was a titlist at 140 when he fought torres and had vacated to fight Qat 147, so he already had championship experience unlike his opponents. True?

*notice you didn't say anything about mali, do you agree with my statement about him?:yep

 

Got damn it!!! You keep stealing my answers!!! Speed typer!:yep

 

Cotto took the fight on short notice as well. Torres was in fighting shape and I even predicted he was going to give Cotto trouble in the early rounds. Many people (especially from the Isla de Puerto Rico) gave Quintana a great chance at beating Cotto.

I thought Cotto was going to KO Malignaggi inside 4 rounds. I was impressed with his toughness. :yep

 

:think

Cotto can surely equal his Island brother in accomplishments if he continues on the right path...it will be difficult to equal the amount of title defenses but I'm sure he can equal in quality of opposition. While some feel Cotto's competition is average one can point out the success of fighters he basically "beat up" also think about the different stlyes Cotto has faced it shows true versitility. Wins against PBF, winner of Margo vs Cintron taking Q's belt away possibly 4 or 5 solid defenses against the likes of say Berto and a trip up to JMW and capturing a title would possibly catapult Cotto to ATG status.

 

so what you are saying is that Mali couldn't knock out Cotto with brass knuckles? :rofl I wouldn't argue with you there. But I do give Mali credit for taking a stomping like a man. His face was literally broke. Still don't like him, but he can take a punch... or a bunch of them.

 

Sorry to point out the incorrect statement but Cotto was not prepared for Torres he was also a late sub who was preparing for a fight against someone who sports a tradintional stance(at the time Torres was fighting quite frequently and his team wanted this because Torres was a notorious lazy man when in between bouts) meaning Torres fought frequently. Cotto was training for a southpaw so there is you unprepared/prepared theory.

 

No. he won't.
