    Williams and Clottey were never busted up as bad as Cotto was.

    Against Margo he was hit with many shots before going down, and it was more of him being tired than anything. He was never stunned against Mosley. Judah wobbled him but if I remember well it was a nice uppercut.

    No you're right. I am just saying from a personal standpoint. It was my position and belief that Cotto would stop Margo. I thought Cotto hit too hard, and he would land far too many clean shots on Margo. He landed the shots, they just didn't have the effect. Then it was my opinion that Margo was just made of steel. But then Shane came along and destroyed him. Which made me look back and reconsider two things....Is Margo really made of steel and does Cotto really hit as hard as I thought. :deal

    I don't hate Cotto. That's simply a myth perpetuated by his dick sucking fans who want everyone to swing from his sack like they do. I comment on a variety of subjects. Shameless Cotto cum guzzlers like yourself only pay attention to Cotto threads.:deal

    He was wobbled by Margo in earlier rounds before he went down. Mosley had him stunned in the 9th round I believe.

    I am a Cotto fan and I have to say that his stamina it's an issue. To me, Cotto is a 10rd guy right now. Yes, Margo might have cheated, but still... He seemed a little tired or cautious like he likes to call it in the last rounds of the SSM fight... so I don't know... To me that's one of his weakest assets.

    Any criticism I give is deserved criticism. Many people have question's concerning Cotto's durability. It's hardly hating to say that Cotto has durability issues.

    Interesting post. Some reaching, I think, but no more than you have to do for the opposite argument.

    It says one of two things -

    A - Cotto got hit more.

    B - Clottey/Williams are tougher than Cotto.


    And that's all, for me.

    Cotto is the most overrated and exaggerated boxer i keep hearing about in this forum....
    Just give it up already....Hes not great just pretty good....Margo smashed him fair and square in my opinion...No need to cheat against cotto...
    Mosley i also thought beat him....If you recall cotto ran at the later rounds...He fatigues to early and cant endure any kind of punishment...That's why he always runs..
    Just find a new real boxer to cheer....Period!

    Put Cotto in with Paul Williams and you'll quickly find out how durable he really is. :smoke

    Styles make fights and right now Williams doesn't appear to be a good style match for Cotto

    Also re Cotto I also thought he would chop Margo down. He didn't, but was that because margo was too strong, or his gloves loaded. Although Cotto outboxed him through the first six, even then his power shots were off the back foot.

    Only a rematch will tell, if it happens.

    i cant assume something just like that. Being wrong at one point doesn't mean you have to carry the sins of the world. Cotto imo, have problems in that department, as soon as somebody can take his punches, he gets in trouble. Shanes punches wore out margacheato because they were fast, surprising and was landing from different angles, Cotto's was kinda anticipated by Margo.

    It doesn't matter if his gloves were laced with metal, Cotto shouldn't have let that guy beat him like that.

    "Pride" is a mutha and it seems like Latin fighters have it bad ... tie him up ... push him ... he's like a tall walking punching bag and Shane Mosley exposed that --

    Cotto shouldve blew him out ...
