WHAT? He got hurt 1 time, you guys act like Miguel was lucky to walk out of the ring alive!!!
TKO 5....that's all I see big guy...Yeah Miguel got wobbled and the ref stopped the fight a little early but Corley was going to get KO'd it was just a matter of time
He was pretty lucky to walk out of the ring without a KO loss, and Corley deserved a chance to fight on, based on how hurt Cotto was one round earlier. That's what I think. And you pretty much defeated your own arguement.. the TKO 5 is all you see, and that's the only reason your saying Cotto did the best number on him. Never mind how competitive the fight was, Cotto knocked him out... Yeeeee haw, punchers rule.Quote:

Yes Corley should have been allowed to fight on but the KO was on the way
Witter from what I hear ;)
But the fact that Judah and Witter were the only ones of the 4 that didn't get hurt by Corley.
My list goes
Witter
Mayweather and Judah tied
Cotto.
Umm Judah got a SPLIT Decision...but I guess it's good enough for everyone else
I don't know how anyone had Corley winning that fight. Judah won rounds 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12. The fight got boring because Corley didn't know what to do with Judah after a few rounds. Judah gave away round 9 by trying to be Roy Jones and putting his hands down. And the second round because Corley was countering effectively, then after Corley tasted the canvas in round 3 Corley wanted no part of trading with Zab. Come on Lyle, you watched the fight, Judah won that by a landslideQuote:

In terms of most punches Corley lands when he gives someone a "tough fight" Witter was hit the least(56 times) Next was Cotto(because the fight was stopped early) And then Judah and then Floyd ;)
this is the 2nd time i watched witter fight. first time against lynes he did not impress me cos he got tired.
but this fight he controlled corley throughout, more than floyd or cotto did.
I think witter would rather fight a guy like floyd n cotto than a hatton who is in ur face. i believe witter would give mayweather nightmares!
I was at the Cotto-Corley fight. Yes, Corley hurt Cotto. Yes, he should have tried to put him away. Yes, Cotto was in serious trouble.
Then, Cotto came back and beat the crap out of Corley. Yes, the ref stopped it prematurely, which made me and the rest of the fans mad. 'Cause I wanted a Cotto KO victory with no controversy. But be assured...... the end was near. And Corley KNEW it.
my sentiments exactly!Quote:

if mayweather wasnt a superfeather weight and not just a fighter who is so talented so fast so pretty so smart!! :D then corley would have been murdered worse!!
nuff said sweetcheeks ;)
Cotto was the only one to stop him...that is all
Agreed. Well said.Quote:

Tough to call. Cotto hurt him the most no doubt. The judah fight, shoulda been Unanimous, not split, Judah had Corley hesitant and in survival mode by the end. Mayweather, aside from bein rocked big time, dominated the whole damn fight. From what I heard of the Witter fight, up till the 10th round then I had to go pick up my little brother from the bus stop, Corley had won AT LEAST 4 rounds, and that's from the bias UK announcers point of view. So I'd have to say Mayweather did the best, then Cotto, then a tossup between Zab and Witter, maybe with an edge to Witter. But let's remember this UK fans, Corley was not the same man who first fought Judah, and Mayweather, or even Cotto. Just as Ben Tackie was not the same man who fought Tzyu or Mitchell by the time Hatton faced him. Its the truth.
he was lucky. i don't see how anybody watching that fight could say chop chop was gonna get KOed. especialy since chop chop hurt cotto way worst than cotto ever hurt chop chop.Quote:

as far the PBF fight chop chop might not have been the weight he should of been but lets not forget it was PBF first fight at 140.
Corley should of took his medicine like a man and stop taking knees. Why would a fighter take a knee? Dude was hurting and was gonna get hurt some more and he knew it. The ref saved him any further humiliation.Quote:

Taking a knee gives a fighter time to recover from an instance and it can save a fighters win/loss column if used wisely. Syd Vanderpool was just about to take a knee in the Lacy fight right before the ref stopped it which is why he was so sad.Quote:
