There's a difference between disliking a boxer and simply acknowledging his weaknesses. Check this out, I like ODLH but I won't fear talking about his weaknesses. When he fought Forbes, remember my comments? And yet, I like ODLH regardless of me mentioning certain flaws even WHEN HE WON! Disliking and even hating a boxer is what I see here everyday with topics about how ODLH is so terrible for doing this and that, for Mayweather for being so terrible about this and that. I am not talking about Cotto being a chicken or whatever. All I am talking about are his clear weaknesses/flaws which many Cotto fans somehow can't dare themselves mention.Your dislike of Cotto practically oozes out of your pores
And some of us even talk about our favorite boxers' weaknesses/flaws.Nothing wrong with that.... we all have our favorites.
What keeps Cotto fans from talking about them? I talk about my favorite boxers' flaws as well, not only the good things.Flaws? All fighters have them
In many of his fights (if not all) he gets rocked, cut, tired half-way through, etc. Volume? It was round 2 when he went to sit on the ropes after a body punch. Mouth opened from early on.b. weak-chinned (disagree there also... it was the volume of punches he took from Margarito that finally did him in)
Age has nothing to do with someone being in their prime or not. Look at Hopkins.And Judah was past his prime? What is he.... all of 30 by now?
You are not the only one around here who dislikes ODLH. There are lots of threads every week about how terrible ODLH is. Still, nobody says a thing. Then you have me here observe Cotto's weaknesses/flaws, resume, etc. and I get negative reps, a nasty message here and there in my inbox, etc. Talk about fans getting all sensitive. And I am not even talking about him in a derrogatory way as people do with ODLH or Mayweather ("He's a pussy...he's a faggit...Oscar de la Fishnets...Oscar is an idiot..." and so on) which seem acceptable. If someone ever started a thread "Cotto is overrated, we saw that a few weeks ago" or whatever I can guarantee lots of people wouldn't be happy at all. Start another thread about how terrible ODLH and Mayweather are and everybody will be fine with that.But again... I understand your intense dislike. You see... I've always had the same dislike for De La Hoya. I only grudgingly give him his dues. But suffice it to say I will not be making a pilgrimage to his bronze statue wherever the hell that is.
