Allow me some artistic licence...I'm referring to the tone of the boardI didn't say he beats anyone,merely Hatton
Of course...we all expected Ricky to blast through him.Well Hatton didn't look comfortable at the weight and JUST ABOUT got the W,didn't you expect more?
As for th others:
Maussa - Do me a favour
Sosa - Past it, came up from lightweight
N'dou - Lovemore had Miguel running in the later rounds when Cotto couldn't get him out of there.
Pinto - Ranked number 1 by the WBO but unheard of by anyone else...
Corely - Okay, there's some credibility to Demarcus. But he was hardly in his prime, wears womens underwear and has 200 kids to feed...did somebody say paycheck?
Abdullaev - A tough fight in hindsight but it shouldn't of been...and the ams are a completely different ballgame as you well know...
Torres - Yet another guy that was a tough fight in hindsight. Pre Torres most Cotto fans expected an easy 'W'
Branco - The WBCs version of Kelson Pinto. Never ever beaten anyone of note
Malignaggi - Not exactly Julian Jackson is he? After the scares with the likes of Bailey and Torres Arum clearly thought it might be a good idea to keep Miguel away from the bangers...
Quintana - Stepping stone. Simple as that, lets not pretend he's anything more.
That's an interesting point. For me, Miguel looks way more ragged now than he did pre Bailey. I recall a time when Miguel was famed for his defence. It's gone out of the window but I think that's perhaps a concious decision to make him more marketable.It's not just that they are all decent/good fighters,they have mostly been young,unbeaten,hungry. And it is the manner in which Cotto has beaten them whether it be fighting front foot,back foot,stalking them etc etc showing his versatility.
