What's up with all the Cotto hype?

[CutMeMick]

I used to like Miguel Cotto until alot of these people have started to overrate him. He is a humble champion who is good for boxing but he is no where near as good as people are starting to make him out to be, I guess they hate Floyd so much they think Cotto is their final chance.


1. People ask why is Floyd not fighting a real WW and then they list Cotto who is 5-7 and no bigger than Ricky Hatton
2. After a knock out loss by the great Ricky Hatton (And I mean great) people say that he was to small, yet he turned WW against Collazo before Cotto turned WW, go figure. I know Hatton went down for a fight but he came right back up, this is confusing
3. Cotto beat Judah and Mosley and people think those are great victories, let's analyze this

JUDAH- He just came off of a ass whoppin from Baldo, and another one against Mayweather, suspension, weak fight against a journeyman, and then the loss to Cotto where he hurt Miguel on a couple of different occassions (Something he did not do against Floyd or Carlos
MAYWEATHER- Has never been the same since 2002, back to back losses against Forrest, two lackluster performances against journeyman, got a gift decision against De La Hoya, back to back losses against Wright when he won a total of 6 rounds in two fights, back to back wins against a brutally shot Vargas in which he struggled in the first fight, a win against a C- level fighter in Collazo who by the way lost to Ricky Hatton in his WW debut. Mosley is a first Ballot HOF in my opinion but is no where near an elite WW since 02. Now I know why people hate Floyd so much, when people brag about him it makes people want to look for holes in his career, but Cotto has 10 times the holes that Floyd has.

And here I always thought Cotto was under-hyped.
Turns out hes over hyped.

Sorry to break it to u but Hatton lost that fight, that is why there is so much controversy over it! Plus u dont want to see what happens to Ricky if he faces Cotto at 147! Hatton will do good at 140, much respect to the guy!

I have been preaching the Gospel of Miguel 'ANGEL' Cotto,
Billy Graham style for years.
I'm not talking about that smoker from the U.K either.
If people are jumping on the Cotto express, they are making a very intelligent and educated decision.


I don't care what Zamba Boy says.

Why do you put all your egg's in the same basket Danny, I am not a Cotto fan and I am not a Mayweather fan either but fair is fair and you are a long way from fair. Besides why do you think this guy is so evil? Why did you pick Hatton to win? Why did you predict Oscar to win? Maybe it's the same reason you predict Cotto to win if he fights Floyd, emotion no logic

In every PBF fight I will choose his opponent to win but in the end I change my prediction.
In the De La Hoya fight I went back and forth. PBF will only fight people he thinks he can beat. He will never fight Cotto, Williams or Margarito.
The day PBF fights Cotto, I will bet on Cotto blindly.
The only reason I have picked PBF's opponents to win is to give me something to mess with. If you notice, I have always picked Floyd to win in the end and near fight time. You better go back and find all of my threads. But like I said, Cotto to beat Floyd 24/7 365.

Go dance Zamba with your sister.

Danny it is what it is, but you have not answered the question, why do you hate so much. You have contradicted almost everything you have said.

1. PBF has a big mouth and I know it's hard to deal with but hey you have to admire what he does in the ring
2. Learn to admit when you are wrong, it's apart of being a man, it's time you accepted that
3. In my prediction thread you picked Hatton about 4 day's before the fight so that's close enough for me
4. In other threads you said you would be impressed if Mayweather beat Hatton but then say he was too small at WW after the fight as if PBF is a huge WW, PBF is not bigger than Hatton at all
5. You said PBF needs to fight a real WW but then you name Cotto who turned WW after Hatton and is a 1/4 inch taller than him
6. Yes Danny Floyd is an asshole, ghetto fuck, but he is better than Cotto on his worse day

6. Yes Danny Floyd is an asshole, ghetto fuck, but he is better than Cotto on his worse day

Again let me say this.
Any one who Floyd decides to fight will be hand picked/cherry picked.
I don't give Floyd Credit in the Hatton fight because of what I saw him doing.
Hitting once and hugging holding, ducking below the waist every 5 seconds <---Illegal
Elbows up the wazzoo, help from the ref.
Sure he beat Hatton with a lot of cheating.
People said Cotto was a cheater but Floyd stoled the show with all of the illegal tactics he used.
I guess if you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying to win.
I just thought Floyd was better than this. Don't get me wrong he had his impressive moments but nothing Cotto can't handle. Cotto is a lot more ruthless than Hatton, Judah and Mayweather put together. Cotto will body slam Mayweather and kick him in his peanut head.
Brazilian dude bottom line is I don't like Floyd. What can I say. You think he can beat Miguel I say he can't. Only thing is Floyd wont be fighting anytime soon and no one dangerous to him. Floyd is in protective custody. He is a pezeta.

[boozeboxer]

I am expecting and day to hear about Danny going out on some psychotic rampage on the news. YOu are fucking losing it man. calm down, try meeting friends, therapy, etc. I dislike PBF as well but this was gotten a little out of hand. But a CC for keeping the dream alive.

[ono]

I think once you become an undefeated 2 weight world champion, it's not longer hype. It's reality.

[El Gamo]

CC DG for your CRaZZZZZY but hilarious posts.Awesome

[WestCoast]

[Puya]

Granted you dont like Mayweather FFC but if PBF was to take Cotto and win would you give him respect?


I think a lot of people dont like Mayweather, I for one think he is immature and a complete idiot outside the ring but he is one of the best boxers of his era, why not give him some respect even if you do hate him.

[WestCoast]

cotto da mos ovarated fighta out tha kid,

[Pavlik]

Well I for one think Miguel Cotto is better suited to beat Floyd Mayweather and let me tell you why:

#1 He's more sturdy at 147....he's not weight drained here and he doesn't have to fight in spurts

#2 He's never met a defense he can't get through or get to....he doesn't care if he punches someone on the hip or on the shoulder or elbows....hell he stopped Branco with a friggin hook to the shoulder.

#3 He is more than just a left hook....sorry but that was Ricky's money punch, he has a good jab and right cross/hook but it's not as crisp as what Cotto has....Cotto's jab is a jackhammer. He's got great timing as well, Shane Mosley isn't easy to catch, Zab Judah isn't easy to catch....he has the "IT" factor that power punchers are supposed to have and he can still box which to me is wonderful.


Sure Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a great fighter, sure he has really put it on some good fighters....but if you're looking for a guy who can give Floyd a good run for his money it's Miguel Cotto.....I don't see Floyd staying in the pocket or pushing off with his elbow vs Cotto, I see him pot shotting and moving...and when that's the case and you have a bull of a fighter chasing you...one with great timing and powerful punches, you might get a shocking result.

Alas that is just my opinion

SPOT ON LYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CC to you.

I would not show him any respect even if his monkey @ss paid me.
Has he shown great fighters any respect?
Has he not dissed some of the greatest fighters this sport has ever seen, fighters he will never be able to prove to the world he is better than them because of time? He says he is better than everyone and yet he has not even faced the best in his own era and in the Welter Weight Division for one which is pretty much the weight class he is in right now. He has yet to unify any division. He can blow smoke up your @ss and everyone else's @ss but I'm not the one.
