Not that bad ?? ODLH weighed almost 1 stone heavier than Mayweather i would say thats pretty damn impressive, and so was his victory over Hatton who was top 10 P4P fighter. Them two victories alone are better than anything Cotto has ever done.Originally Posted by Puya
Im going to quote the article.
Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie. Like them, you are a master capitalist. You’re also a pugilistic virtuoso, but on your current career path, we will remember you more for being a businessman than as someone who took care of bidness in the ring.
Is this a joke ?? Mayweather beat some of the best fighters at Super Featherweight and Lightweight and dominated them.
Genero Hernandez = Never been beaten at Super Featherweight
Angel Manfredy
Diego Corrales = Top 10 P4P fighter.
Jose Luis Castillo x2
Carlos Hernandez
Jesus Chavez
Phillip N'dou
Just to name a few he was impressive in all of these fights, he gave a mixture of boxing master class, plus brawling toe to toe and out slugging his opponent.
Allow me to blunt for a moment. Your victories over Oscar and Hatton impress on paper only. Your win over De La Hoya was akin to defeating the Spanish Armada in the 1600’s. Both big-time names. Both already depleted.
And your kayo of Ricky Hatton at 147 was an impressive display to be sure---if you’re into watching snakes devour mice.
Some of ODLH's best performances were at Light Middleweight Mosley 2, Vargas, Campas just to name a few, his fights vs Sturm and Hopkins were all at Middleweight, where he wasn't comfortable at that weight. But as i recall ODLH comeback and destroyed Mayorga in impressive fashion did he not ?? i also recall that ODLH was almost 1 stone heavier than Mayweather. And Mayweather accepted all of ODLH demands and still beat him and lets not forget Mayweather had never fought at Light Middleweight. Hatton was top 10 P4P fighter Mayweather KO him in impressive fashion what more do you want a 1st round demolition job ??
But until we see you sweat against a dangerous opponent, we (and you) will never know how great you truly are. At some point you’ve got to put your neck on the line if you want to be considered for boxing’s Mount Crushmore.
You must of missed his fights vs Castillo and Chavez then.
Sorry but this writer is just a cocky idiot.
