It was not the breakout star calling of Cotto Salami..... Outside of Clottley who has Margarito looked sloppy against ? I would love to see how Cotto would react to more offensive minded fighters with punch such as Clottley or Margarito?

Help me understand which one of these boxers on Cottos' record is feared for punching power and a successful offensive attack? Help me understand which ones went on to be successful world champions?
So rather than argue with you regarding obviously your favorite boxer, I chose to present facts. Of those fighterss with records that appear good I invite readers to view their records and the caliber of opponents. Of those That Cotto has knocked out or beaten PBF, Zab, Hatton, V. Harris, Shamba Mitchell and lesser foes have also put a whooping on. So cease on the anointing oil Cotto Salami is not there yet !!
Cotto profile in some haters eyes:
No chin
No stamina
No boxing abilities ( man Cotto was cracking Judah with that Jab all night)
No speed
Judah Profile in some haters eyes:
NO Heart
He has the other qualities
All I can say is this: ---> :rofmaoal:
I like Cotto's chances against Mayweather and Mosely. Cotto just fought arguably the fastest hands in the division in Judah and look what happened to him. Mayweather may defeat Cotto but he won't destroy him physically. Mosely has the combination of power and speed that might give Cotto more problems than Judah and Mayweather.
My FOTY also
judah is not faster pbf..he just looks that way because he uses a slow jab to set up his fast left...pbf lead with the straight right and still beat judah to the punch....Quote:

Cotto - Judah was a great fight. It is precisely the vulnerable fighters that give us great fights. You are not going to tell me that Gatti didn't look vulnerable in ALL of his great and memorable fights are you?Quote:

He kept his cool and showed great heart, something that was missing in many of his previous fights.
Another reason this was a great performance for Cotto is because most (including myself) predicted that this fight depended mainly on one thing: which Judah will come to fight. If the good Judah came to fight, Cotto would lose. If the bad Judah came out, Cotto would win. Well the good Judah came in to fight with guns blazing and Cotto still won. Don't knock on the guy for giving us all a great fight.
I can't wait for Margarito - Williams, should be another classic. Keep em coming guys, Boxing has a great future ahead of it.
It was a great fight but I think to be fight of the year it has to be competative and equally matched and this really was just a beatdown.
Mormeck Bell 2 is still my favourite fight of the year, even if Mormeck did run like a lil bitch at the end.
dammit i aint still see the fight yet
It was a fun fight...but for me, fight of the year is still Barrera vs. Marquez...tremendous combination of skill and heart...and it was damn close.
I almost forgot about that oneQuote:

Bit too one sided for fight of the year.
