Corely was able to outbox him? If you say so. It was like any other Cotto fight he takes his time, moves side to side, pick's his shot's, of course he gets hit the opponent will take advantage of this style. But that Corely outboxed Cotto one can argue that statement he probably did in a couple of round's BUT ultimately what matters is that the number in your record next to the WINS: moves one up and NOT in the LOSES:.Quote:

I've said it before and I'll say it again if they fought today Cotto vs. PBF or Hatton they would beat Cotto. Miguel is still a little green he still need's a couple of more fight's under his belt. I would hate to see happend to him what happend to Vargas, Anchondo, Bojado and thats take fights against people out of their league I like the way they are hadling his career Cotto is of a New Generation, one day he will be in the spot light against a champ but let's NOT get ahead and destroy what is the future of boxing. Give it time Cotto will be GREAT.
And to be honest with you I think in about 2-3 more fight's I could see him facing any of the top fighter's.
ok. I agree with you on that. you must be missing thw point.Quote:

i told you the flaws in his style and also that he has bad style matchups against all top 147 lbers.
I think as far as change it would be I say he get's a new trainer the father/trainer does NOT work well into a career at the begining yeah! it works but it has to change. But as far as his style I've heard opinion's go both way's, some say good others say bad. You say it's bad thats your opinion, you say these top contenders can and will see his FLAWS, well the last time I checked Cotto is not blind, What? He can't see his opponent's FLAWS? Every boxer learn's something new everytime they step up in the ring. You mean to tell me Zab, Kostya, Hatton etc.. are flawless. Actually come to think of it. Can You name a FLAWLESS boxer??? You talked about his stands, for him to change his stands and other thing's I can asure you that another FLAW "as you call them" will turn out. If boxers didn't have FLAWS then we would have a lot of undefeated boxers cuz they would all be FLAWLESS. As I end many of my replys once I feel I've stated my case well.Quote:

he will never chance his stance because that will change his whole fighting style.
corley is an extremely talented fighter and former world champ, he even beat zab judah on one judges score card.Quote:

i dont remember all of the knockdowns but the one in the first was a slap on the side of his head and when he realized that corley was off balance he kind of pushed himQuote:

zab beat corley easily regardless of the judges
