Miguel Cotto says Floyd Mayweather Jr will have to Answer

[Puya]

he'd never been beaten up like that before. Miguel was the first one to really put him through the meat grinder. It is now after his loss to Clottey, that Judah is beginning to look the worse for the wear.

I disagree with you there Tito.. If you remember Floyd after taking 4 rounds to really get into a groove was digging and raking Judah to the body and scoring with the straight right, at the end of round 10 Floyd hurt Judah in the corner. Zab was tired and hurt looking for a breather fouled Mayweather in the infamous brawl.. Mayweather was beating up and breaking down Judah pretty damn good with sharp accurate punches, the majority fealt the Judah was gonna get stopped in round 11 if it wasnt for the low blow and back of the head punch.. So Cotto was finished what Mayweather started a year earlier

i agree what is tito talking about zab looked really good against clottey he was out working him clottey was just to big and 2 strong for zab.

i got a question for you cotto fans because i would guess most the people posting in this thread are cotto fans y are we even still talkin a cotto mayweather fight they dont compare cotto just got knocked out who has heard anything about him since then?

Cotto did a very competitive fight. The only thing that saved Margo to got KOed was his crazy chin. Cotto was boxing great and landing at will with Power shot, too bad he trusted his power witch had no effect on Margarito.

It sees like there is no in between here!! Sure Cotto just lost but he put up a great fight; the match he lost in was a classic and I'm convinced he'll be back! and may be better for the loss. Mayweather does not need to prove anything to the boxing public! Who hate him anyway, why should he?

And these threads after Margaritos biggest win should have been about Margarito!! he has earned the right to be respected!!

Why are people so insistant on,Imo Overstating Margaritos "Titanium super grande Iron Mega Mega Chin" but give his constant varied offense little credit for braking Cotto down??He was not throwing his Chin..... and was effecting Cotto harshly with Bodyshots beginning in the 2nd round and is much more than just a good chin ,jeezarse

No one is saying Margo is without skills, Spic. He does throw a wide variety of shots. Head, body... he's a whirlwind of punches when he gets going. But damn bro.... you gotta admit, he's either got concrete or stainless steel in that jaw. Cotto must've bounced hundreds of clean shots off that head and nothing happened. That's not taking anything away from Tony, just stating an obvious fact.

Im with you on that fact TitoFan.But It just seems some are begrudging & negating Tonys ability to bring his offense to counter Cottos ,making it sound that the only reason He was victorious was because he takes a good shot.His body work was top notch as well as the defense...........yes defense of Tony in protecting his own body,but not so much the head I agree.I was very convinced,fan or not,that Cotto would do major damage to Margaritos body and going to the head would have small effect.

I think Tony took a major gamble, and it paid off. Margo knew that Cotto would use his vaunted left hook to the body, so he protected it, giving up his face. He was basically saying: "I can take your head shots, but I ain't giving up the body." One of Cotto's post-fight comments in the local press was something to the effect that he had tried to go to the body, but wasn't able to do so effectively.

The main reason Tony was able to keep throwing was because he wasn't hurt and that's how Cotto is effective he counters fighters they stop throwing and he then steps on the gas and knocks them out or wears them down to where their offense is ineffective

Its all apples and Oranges,I thought that Cotto's most realistic chance going in the fight at hurting Tony was Miguels killer Body attack....Head shots were secondary but would be tempting.If that was taken away and made ineffective due to Tony's Defense to body,using his rangy arms tucked into sides or the fact that he was putting punches on Cottos own body and squaring Cotto on the ropes.I think his under appreciated Offense was the winning factor....but an awesome chin did not hurt
