Marquez would fuck Cotto up @ catchweight

[TitoFan]

Yea thats what i mean why is he not at 147 i mean Bradley fight, Pac fight, and also Jmm fight. Lmw has the ginger thats about it Trout and the other guys name starts with a L are not big attractions. i mean at this point the WW have the bigger names and paydays really no comparison.

You're right and that's another point I want to make.. There are two reasons why Cotto is blowing himself up to fight at 154..

1. He's too lazy to make 147

2. There are too many killers at 147

He fights at 154 cuz the competition is easier.. Businesswise, there is no reason why he should be fighting in a shallow division when there are shitload of huge paydays at 147..

Cotto's "too lazy to make 147", but it's quite alright for JMM to be fighting at that weight. That's pretty damn hilarious even by your standards. Especially when you consider that JMM started as a featherweight, while Cotto began pretty much at junior welter. I actually considered not posting, because you're pretty transparent with your attempts to bait. But your ridiculous claims are a bit much to just let slide.

Think about it (at least try)... One guy travels all the way from 126 to 147 and above, and it's ok. But the other guy, who started at 140, is considered "too lazy" because he can't make 147 anymore. Priceless.

Opinions fall along predictable lines, with some agreeing with you and others not. I'll continue the predictability and state that of course I'd favor Cotto. Adding, however, that I've always been a huge JMM fan, and consider him an all-time great. However, Cotto is an all-time great in his own right, and with more tools in his arsenal than you've ever given him credit for.

So for the purposes of this particular discussion, I'll forego the technical reasons why.... as I know they'd be fully wasted on you, and I've already used up my self-allotted 3 minutes of attention to your thread.

You are not understanding the concept, Tito..There are different levels and circumstances when moving up weight divisions.. A natural featherweight like Marquez moving up two divisions to 147 and a natural 140-147 guy in Cotto jumping up to 154 are totally different.. totally different..

IT's easier for a natural 147 guy to boil down to 140 or move up to 154 as opposed to a naturally small guy like Marquez jumping up multiple weight divisions..

Oh, I understand biased double standards quite perfectly, thank you.

Doggs, u need to wake up. Guys like torres and corley had cotto out on his feet, caught em so hard dude started doing the Rican salsa dance. You might argue that those bouts were at 140 but the fact is, 140 was cotto's best weight.. he was a beast at the weight but was vulnerable at the same time ..

Its not like cotto is any better or significantly stronger at above 140...

At a catchweight of 145 or even at an official 147, marquez would punch a 3rd eye in him...

Would be an awesome fight. I think Cotto would edge out a UD, but it wouldn't be easy. His jab would cause Marquez nightmares - doubling up on that piston would keep him off balance and unable to time his counters, but mid-fight Marquez would adjust as per usual. Then the uppercuts start ripping through Cotto's guard as he tries to mix it up and land that left hook that Roach is drilling back into him.
