Cotto vs Chop Chop Corley

[AirJordanIV]

Hey all! Just watched this fight and can't help but to think Manny will hurt him the same way Corley did in the 3rd round of their fight. Corley hurt Cotto with a right hook from the southpaw stance and I feel Manny would too. I think that Corley was strong but not as dynamic as Pac... Or is this an unfair assessment being that Cotto was a lot younger then and still dealing with a learning curve a the time. What do you think?

first off Cotto was already having trouble making weight, Corley's power was underrated (he managed to rock Judah and Mayweather), and Cotto has since fought opposition that is leaps and bounds above Corley and has performed very well, using the same logic as the one you put forth, Pacquiao will probably fold cause well he was stopped very early by body shots, and Cotto is the best body puncher with killer power that he's faced in a long long time

[JonesJrMayweather]

yeah that a while ago, and since cotto has been at his proper weight he's only seriously been hurt by margo. And that was from an accumilation

It's sorta funny how before Dirrell fought Froch people brought up how he was knocked down in his 7th pro fight as evidence of a suspect chin. But if someone brings up the Corley Cotto fight in terms of him being stunned people will say it was a while ago and it doesnt count now

[amat]

I fully expect Cotto to be stunned this fight but Cotto has maybe the best recovery in all of boxing right now. He's been stunned multiple times and often his best moments in the fight come immediately after he's been buzzed. Seriously, it's a pattern and if Judah could sneak in the left hand as Cotto comes forward then Pacquiao surely will. Will that be enough? I don't think so. This is a GREAT fight.

[JT Rock]

Im with AMAT on this one, Cotto is as cool and measured operator as there is in Boxing, sure he might get stunned but he keeps his wits and manages to be effective and dangerous even if he's seeing stars..

JMM wobbled Pac a few times with his counterpunching and IMO Cotto will inflict more damage at 145+ than Marquez will when he lands clean on Manny.
I am not convinced that Pac can take the kinda punishment a solid guy like Cotto can dish out.

Apples and Oranges.

I don't recall dirrel ever moving up a weight class? He's always been comfortable at Super Middle.

Majesty i understand exactly where your comming from. People often bring up how chop chop hurt PBF as evidence of how PBF can't take a punch But when you mention chop chop hurting Cotto people act like it was forever ago. If i do recall PBF fought Chop CHop in 04 and Cotto fought him in 05. Also Cotto was way more hurt than by Chop than PBF was. People tried to use the chop chop fight as evidence that PBF couldn't handle the strength of fighters at 140 and above. Now all of a sudden people act like PBF is Paul Williams. Anyway all i'm saying is if you wanna use PBF Corley which was in 2004 than we should be able to use Corely Cotto which was in 2005.

By the way whats Chop Chop doing anyway. I haven't heard from him since the Writter fight which i still haven't seen.

you didn't finish your sentence. It should have said: "And that was fron an accumilation of loaded leather

Some one pleeeease kills this ''Cotto was rocked by Corley'' drama and post up that pic of Cotto at the weight-in where Cotto is so fucked, he looks like that alien out of Mac & Me...

People are using that logic.

i agree

[Dark Lord Al]

The outcome is far from being certain , i personally think PACMAN beats him inside 4 , i think PAC will be to fast for Cotto.
If the fight goes into the later stages the body punching of Cotto may be vital .
But as i said PACMAN jumps on Cotto and wins by stoppage.

DeMarcus Corley also shook up Floyd Mayweather Jr, more than once in there fight. In the 3rd round he hit Floyd Mayweather Jr, with a straight left hand, that buckled Floyd Mayweather Jr's knees. And in the 4th round he rocked Floyd Mayweather Jr back with an overhand right ?

A similar punch to what stunned Miguel Cotto, there was also another moment in that round. Where DeMarcus Corley, hit Floyd Mayweather with two overhand rights that hurt Floyd Mayweather Jr aswell.

DeMarcus Corley has some pop and is slightly underrated, he was a bit unlucky against a prime Zab Judah.
