Re: Upset gomez over cotto!!!!!!!?
The only upset will be the people upset cause Gomez got his ass kicked. ;D
Re: Upset gomez over cotto!!!!!!!?
I just don't see Cotto losing this one. If it was against Margarito, then I would have reservations.
I think he takes out Gomez in 8.
He is gonna pot shot Gomez while taking away his body. Gomez will be competitive for the first few, but Cotto will wear him out.
Re: Upset gomez over cotto!!!!!!!?
Well cotto is yet to really face a natural welterweight yet so im a little cautious about saying cotto will win. Im kinda getting a little bit of a kostya tszyu vs phillips vibe. Phillps was use to fighting bigger guys and kostya didnt take him as seriously as he should of...im thinking this could be an upset.
Re: Upset gomez over cotto!!!!!!!?
gomez is the bigger guy going into the ring, but lacks the experince and skill, cotto should win but it'll be a long hard night, gomez has gained in confidence from his last couple of outtings and can take a decent punch
i feel a points win or late stoppage for cotto..............thats if cotto has taken the fight seriously ( keep hearing how he hasn't but he's never seemed that way ) if not a upset could easly happen

Snake you say Cottos never fought a natural Welter what do you consider Urkal and Quintana? Just curious...

Not to mention Mosley who is in no way a natural lightweight, has been fighting for almost 10 years at 147 or above now.

Mosley was at his best at Lightweight but yes that is not his natural weight, Quintana is natural Welterweight he has spent most of his career at Welterweight i believe. And Urkal is a natural Jr Welterweight he spent majority of his career at that weight.
Re: Upset gomez over cotto!!!!!!!?
So Oscar De la Hoya is a natural Super Featherweight/Lightweight??? If Mosley is a "natural" lightweight then so is De la Hoya.
Mosley hadn't beaten anyone or had any mega fights before he moved up to 147

If your directing that at me then you obviously didn't read my post properly you need to read it again. I said Mosley was at his best at Lightweight but that isn't his natural weight.
Re: Upset gomez over cotto!!!!!!!?
Shane won titles at 147 and 154 vs Oscar De la Hoya when Shane was past his best???

I stand corrected, give ya some rep mate ;) But urkal isnt, he fought a jr welterweight and well mosely he has been at 154 for the last couple of yrs meaning he had to drop weight to fight cotto. So i mean he hasnt really fought a guy whos consitently at welter but you got me with quintana, i forgot about him.

I would pick the Mosley who fought ODLH in there first meeting over the current Miguel Cotto.
Re: Upset gomez over cotto!!!!!!!?
Well Miguel Cotto isn't a "natural" welterweight by your standards so give the guy a freaking break

Lyle what are you talking about ?? Cotto was weak and drained at Jr Welterweight. Its obvious Cotto is much stronger and has much better punch resistance at Welterweight meaning he is for certain natural Welterweight.
