    Good video Danny, I'm suprised by how much bigger Alfonso is than Cotto, I really reckon he has a chance to cause a suprise.

    By the way am I correct in thinking that little guy that Cotto was applying lip balm to has been confirmed as Ricky Hatton's next opponent?

    I am not worried about his size/height. To be honest, Cotto fairs much better against taller fighters than he does against the little ones. The bigger they are, the bigger the beating. Don't ask me why? I guess for one, there is more body and I think for 2, most fighters either have to fight low or fight tall but in both cases, Cotto either catches them high and low and just chops them down little by little. It's the tiny guys who give Cotto more of a problem and if not those his own height. The taller ones get destroyed something nasty.

    What a great technical analysis, it is the tiny ones who give him trouble. Has nothing to do with styles, if his opponent is bigger than him, they don't have a chance in hell. He could only possibly lose to someone really tiny like Ivan Calderon. You should be a trainer Danny.

    Of course styles have to be added to the equation, but I don't see anything in Gomez style that would cause or give Cotto problems. I am just basing this on Cotto's other fights and opponents. Cotto manages to adapt and over come the styles but it has been the little guys who posed the most trouble because they are so low and then go lower to where Cotto is hitting nothing but their heads and that has to take it's toll on the hands and hurts more than when most of your punches are landing on the face and body.

    You smart ass.

    I have to sad click you with all of my power for trying to get too cute.

    BUYA!

    Wasn't saying Gomez style will cause him any success, didn't mention Gomez. Just thought it was kind of funny how stupid your post was in terms of logic. What quality opponents has Miguel fought that were signifigantly taller than him? I can't really think of any, nor these tiny ones he destroys. Most of his best opponents have been roughly his height if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for the sad click Danny, keep em coming please.

    The tall fighters like Bazan, Pinto, Bailey Maussa, are just a few tall ones Cotto beat down. I would mention Sparkman but hey wait, that is what Alfonso is like, Sammy Sparkman and Gomez is going to get sparked up as though he were Sammy

    Little guys like Brown, Cotto was hitting nothing but the head of the midget and went the distance.

    Well ok Danny, I haven't seen all those fights, just Pinto and Bailey... But I'd put that down to Cotto just being vastly better than them instead of the height differential. Maussa for instance, sucks. I've never heard of Brown either. All I know is Corley, Torres, Mosley and Judah are all listed as being at least as tall as Cotto, Mosley was taller by a couple inches if I remember.

    I think , while more bigger is , is like a big target for him to make confortable shots......
