4 words: Fight Of The Year

[Tysonbruno]

Im not a Cotto hater i like him and the way he fights.

[Addicted to_boxing]

Fight of the year ? LOL you had a tentatitve & scared Zab and a systematic yet fully exposed to clean punches Cotto. If Cotto takes that defense into a fight against Margarito or Williams you will see a fully exposed boxer. I like Cotto but saw a very beatable fighter tonight. Why Zab did not throw enough punches I do not understand.

your kidding right??

margarito is sloppier and even more exposed then cotto

No, I am not kidding. You must not have noticed that Zab had the balls to get up from knockdowns but not enough to throw punches when hit. This is a trait Zab always exudes if you have ever seen his previous fights, So stop trying to make Cotto a god. Simply put "Judah quits fighting when hit by anyone". It was not the breakout star calling of Cotto Salami..... Outside of Clottley who has Margarito looked sloppy against ? I would love to see how Cotto would react to more offensive minded fighters with punch such as Clottley or Margarito?

Help me understand which one of these boxers on Cottos' record is feared for punching power and a successful offensive attack? Help me understand which ones went on to be successful world champions?

So rather than argue with you regarding obviously your favorite boxer, I chose to present facts. Of those fighterss with records that appear good I invite readers to view their records and the caliber of opponents. Of those That Cotto has knocked out or beaten PBF, Zab, Hatton, V. Harris, Shamba Mitchell and lesser foes have also put a whooping on. So cease on the anointing oil Cotto Salami is not there yet !!

Cotto profile in some haters eyes:

No chin
No stamina
No boxing abilities ( man Cotto was cracking Judah with that Jab all night)
No speed

Judah Profile in some haters eyes:

NO Heart
He has the other qualities


All I can say is this: --->

[Rican]

I like Cotto's chances against Mayweather and Mosely. Cotto just fought arguably the fastest hands in the division in Judah and look what happened to him. Mayweather may defeat Cotto but he won't destroy him physically. Mosely has the combination of power and speed that might give Cotto more problems than Judah and Mayweather.

judah is not faster pbf..he just looks that way because he uses a slow jab to set up his fast left...pbf lead with the straight right and still beat judah to the punch....

Don't try and compare Tony's record to Cotto's. Tony hasn't fought competition anywhere near as good as Cotto. I'm just waiting for Cotto to fucking knock Tony it'd. It'd make my fucking year.

Ricardo Torres has a very respectable KO ratio and is currently a 140 lb champion.

I'm not sure that Cotto is the best WW (think Mosley is still the best in the division untill someone beats him) but lets not take away from the guy. Give credit where credit is due. He has had some tough fights against some good fighters and is still undefeated.

Cotto - Judah was a great fight. It is precisely the vulnerable fighters that give us great fights. You are not going to tell me that Gatti didn't look vulnerable in ALL of his great and memorable fights are you?

And this might not have been Judah's greatest performance ever but it certainly was his best in a long time. I felt very sorry for him because you could tell that he really wanted it, he prepared well for the fight and was always dangerous up until about the 8th. He kept his cool and showed great heart, something that was missing in many of his previous fights.

Another reason this was a great performance for Cotto is because most (including myself) predicted that this fight depended mainly on one thing: which Judah will come to fight. If the good Judah came to fight, Cotto would lose. If the bad Judah came out, Cotto would win. Well the good Judah came in to fight with guns blazing and Cotto still won. Don't knock on the guy for giving us all a great fight.

I can't wait for Margarito - Williams, should be another classic. Keep em coming guys, Boxing has a great future ahead of it.

[Kev]

It was a great fight but I think to be fight of the year it has to be competative and equally matched and this really was just a beatdown.

Mormeck Bell 2 is still my favourite fight of the year, even if Mormeck did run like a lil bitch at the end.

[headson]

dammit i aint still see the fight yet

[zhubin]

It was a fun fight...but for me, fight of the year is still Barrera vs. Marquez...tremendous combination of skill and heart...and it was damn close.

Don't try and compare Tony's record to Cotto's. Tony hasn't fought competition anywhere near as good as Cotto. I'm just waiting for Cotto to F****** knock Tony it'd. It'd make my F****** year.

Where in my post did I compare Tony's record to Cottos' ? ? You need to enter this room sober , lay off the 40 oz..... And I guess we will find out in November? However Tony has to get by Williams. I hug on to the sport not on a boxer as you do to Cottos' Salami.

[ICB]

Bit too one sided for fight of the year.
