Cotto vs Mayorga - Top Rank Trailer

[ross]

Shane throws one punch at a time? That margorito couldnt take? But Cotto could? Last time I checked, although margo couldnt stop Shanes over hand lefts, Shane was nailing Margo with 2-5 shots at a time, when Shane fought Cotto, he hit Cotto w/the same shots. Lets use some common sense here.

Loaded gloves gives you a huge advantage.

Cotto has a slightly better defence than Margarito and Shane was laoding up on the over hand right and that was all he was doing really in the Cotto fight. Against Margarito he could basically hit him with anything. Mayorga took Shanes shots far better than Margarito did.

You, nor anyone else "knows" he cheated. I think the fight has been drained out of Cotto over the Margarito, Clottey and Mosely fights and as soon as mayorga starts landing hard and bullying him, he will not have the fortitude to dog it out for the win, like anyone has to in a Mayorga fight, fit or not. Mayorga gave Trinidad, De La Hoya and Mosley some awkward moments before he gassed out but with his recent activity im expecting a much fitter and better prepared Mayorga.

Cotto has "slightly" better defense then Margarito? Margarito's defense is using his face to block punches. That's not considered defending anything. He's a walking punching bag that knew his hands were wrapped and if he could take a beating and give his hands time to cement, he could win.

Look, we can go back and forth all day on this "did cheato really cheat" but there's no denying there's doubt.

I will agree with you on the note that Cotto isnt the same fighter he was. No one would be if they got hit by a bat in the face for 11rds. I'm a huge Cotto fan and I want nothing more but for him to just retire as one of PR's greatests. I even put him on top of Trinidad. I would have love to see him fight Paul/Berto but I honestly and truely believe he went through FAR too much in the Rito fight and was a punching bag for Clottey and Pacroidio.

Now, IF and WHEN Cotto gets through your boy Mayorga, what are you going to say then? Mayorga is washed up? He wasn't smoking through training?

Ross, have a look at Cotto's face after the Margarito fight and have a look at Billy Collins Jnr face after Luis Resto took padding out of his gloves AND used plaster on his hand wraps during their fight. There is no doubt in my mind that Margarito cheated in that fight. I know it's old news and has been done to death but i rewatched Assault In The Ring last night and it brought back memories of the Cotto fight and it still angers me.

Shame the picture is so small but I think youll find that Vitalis face is in worse condition than Cottos

Lennox obviously has plaster in his wraps - he retired pretty quickly following that fight.

Exactly! Its absurd to suddenly think, anyone with a cut face from punch must have been facing someone with loaded wraps. Its just people trying to find an excuse for Cotto getting battered.

Vitali got cut earlier than Cotto did too. It was mainly down to Cottos shite defence and the fact that if hes not the stronger man hes fuucked!

Im looking forward to the excuses and backtracking when cotto loses again
