*TYPO* The fight is Dec 2nd and not the 3rd.
How can Cotto undercard to Margarito?
I can see at leaqst one upset being made that night, I am not sure which one, but Clottey is talented......
no one can talk shit about Cotto about ducking opponants, cause at his first fight at 147 he's taking on one of the future stars of the division
Yo Danny bro,our boys have got some hard hard fights coming up!! I fancy Margarito over Clottey,very hard fight though and will be close but I am less confident about Cotto but what a man,to take on Quintana,maybe the most dangerous man in the division! I don't care who headlines,as long as they win,that's all I care about!
Dam right bro,and who has he ducked anyway? CC for the news.Quote:

no doubt he has my credit for taking the fight, but i fancy him to winQuote:

Wow!! props to Cotto if the fight goes through Quintana showed he can boogie wether you think Julio was all hype or not he faught a good fight that night.
Like Lyle I expect Cottos bodywork to win him the fight and his pressure of going forward and hooking him with both hands.
Not an easy fight for it to be his 1st at 147 IMO.
Will we see Miguel's chin at work that night? heheh (147lbs now)
Quintana caught Julio with excellent counters. If I remember correctly, wasn't Julio hurt?
To me this fight may reveal Cotto's true nature of his shaky legs. ;D
Was it because he had to drain so much weight for a 140lbs fight?
Or was it that Cotto's chin really is glass-like?
(I think the former,but I could be wrong. :) )
Time too step out from under Arum's wing and earn your keep, Welterweight is full of talent.. 2007 is going to rock!!
is a damn shame when HBO and Showtime go head to head.
poor old Winky... I know what card I'd prefer to watch. ;)
i agree with thisQuote:

Hatton fought Tszyu, then REALLY stepped it up vs Carlos Maussa...ooooh impressive
You know Quintana is a bunch better than Collazo and he has more pop on his punches.
I WANT to like Hatton but jesus, when is he going to fight another good fighter??? It's not like he's in a division devoid of talent!
For me Collazo was a step up for Hatton I cannot underrate Collazo after watching Collazo vs "El Gallo" Rivera that was a great fight and after watching that I give Hatton credit for taking that fight as for Cotto I give him credit to after what Quintana did to Julio
You're underrating Collazo, he's a good fighter. So is Quintana, Hatton should have received credit for fighting Collazo in his first fight at 147, and so should Cotto for fighting Quintana.Quote:

seeing as u brought him up and in Hatton's defense since winning the IBF and more importantly the LINEAL CHAMPIONSHIP he has UNIFIED and won a belt at a SECOND WEIGHT DIVISION in TWO fights. Since Cotto won his all-so-valueble WBO belt he has DEFENDED it SIX times!! whoooo... ;D
Agreed. Collazo was no push over he gave Hatton a helluva fight, and stunned Hatton for that matter. Especially being his 1st fight at Welter he faught a TRUE welter. unlike PBF who for his 1st fight at welter took on Sharmba. :-XQuote:

I'm still waiting :-[
it's great to get the props for fighting the tough fights...but if they keep you from the biggest fights because of a possible loss...where does that get him???Quote:

I expect more from Hatton, URANGO? Give me a BREAK! JLC, Chico, Harris, Witter, Judah...ANYONE that is a BIG match up
Quintana isn't shit. Cotto will walk through him in 5 rounds
Not the easiest opponent for Cotto. Lot of credit to him for taking the fight. I see him winning on points.
Your posts lose alot of credibility when you just plain out hate...Quote:

yea Hatton became unified champion against a guy that Cotto had already whooped before he even was a championQuote:

if we see the brawler cotto come out and try to ko quintana then i think were gonna have a big upset on our hands.
but i think miguel is smarter than that, were gonna see the boxer/counter puncher cotto come out and earn himself a late ko or ud
Quintana was too skilled to get caught by Julio although Julio did make Quintana#s glove touch the canvas in the 3rd round or something if my memory serves me correctly.Quote:
