howd he look against corely?
torres?
zab beats the latest bob arum hype machine with a tko inside of 10 (winning at least 8 rounds on the way) or at the very worst, it ends in a lopsided decision in favor of zab
Thats a bold statement.
bold, yet strong
Honestly, you can't compare the Cotto of today against the Cotto against Torres. He has grown exponentially since then. He's not just a guy who bullrushes inside with earmuffs on and hopes not to get hit. I used to be as down on Cotto as anyone but he really is a changed and complete fighter.
Zab on the other hand is not a complete fighter. He's just not a very good fighter and a fighter who's will has been broken time and time again when faced with any sort of relentlessness. The last guy he beat who actually tried to fight him was Rafael Pineda. And an old and past his best Pineda almost beat Zab. Before that it was Corley. That fight was just as close as the Pineda one.
You go at Zab, he crumbles.
he lost to tszyu (a prime tszyu ;)) once....................... kosta didnt want any part of a rematch
he lost on points to spinks (one of the slickest boxers in the sport today, but had that fight lasted 30 more seconds then spinks wouldve been koed FOR SURE) but crushed him in the rematch
he had an off night against baldomir (dont forget that mayweather/judah was already a done deal at the thomas & mack here in vegas, so needless to say he was looking past a fighter that was well prepared) although i still think that zab won that fight
and he lost to the best fighter of this era on a decision, but looked like the best welterwight ive seen for a VERY LONG TIME in the beginning portion of the fight
and people are actually screaming about miguel cotto because he beat............................... carlos quintana???
seriously??
judah exposes cotto for the the super overhyped propect/arum hypemachine (remember margarito a few months ago?) that he is
cotto isnt ready and its gonna show
easy work for zab O0
Zab exposes Cotto?
LMAO
You mean like Malignaggi exposed cotto?
Malignaggi was supposed to be super fast and untouchable in the ring. (he is and was) if you know what I mean.
People like you said Cotto was slow and that he would get exposed, that he was one dimmensional blah, blah, blah.
Cotto was catching Paulie over and over again. What happend to Pualies foot and hand speed? Cotto's power was too much for the kid in the early rounds. Paulie got dropped.
Now you might want to argue that Paulie lasted 12 rounds but you have to consider that Cotto was done in 140. Not only was he done but he broke his hand in the 5th. Considering all of this, did you see Paulies face? Did you see it? I am not trying to make any excuses for Cotto because he beat the shiet out of Paulie. Now just imagine what Cotto would do to zab?
I said Cotto would take Zab out in 1 if he wanted to but that is not Cotto's style. Cotto is patient and that is what I like about him. He slowly chops down his opponents until they bow down or their corner waves a towel ;) or if it goes the distance, you can hardly tell it is the same person Cotto was fighting and they look like they ran into a brick wall face first ;D
Zab got floored and queered by Kostya Tszyu and if Cotto wanted to, he could do the same.

Zab got beat by Carlos Manuel Baldomir. LMAO
Old, slow azz and hits like a girl Carlos Manuel Baldomir.
Cotto's camp has been training Cotto for slick, fast fighters like Zab, Paulie and PBF for a very long time. Cotto is more than ready. Cotto is not one dimensional but you would not know this since you have only seen 3 of his fights. He has more weapons in his arsenal than you think.
While Zab is busy avoiding those body shots, Cotto will just break Zab's face and give him something else to worry about.
No matter how Cotto and his team decide to fight this match, Cotto wins.
People are not screaming about Cotto over Quintana but it was an impressive win over a young, undefeated, slick, fast, southpaw with heavy hands. (mind you it was cottos debut at 147)
Did you see when Cotto switched up and starting fighting southy? He said to Quintana. I am a converted south paw and I am going to show you a little something, something here.
The rest was history.
If I were Zab, I would avoid Cotto unless Zab want's to be out of the ring for another year licking his wounds and waiting for them to heal or get's medically cleared.
