So Cotto is a banger.

[ElTerribleMorales]

he is a banger...but iwould like to see him fight torres again considering that torres took the fight on short notice and wasn't in shape...and dropped cotto...every since then they've been putting him in with feater punchers...

maybe you're on to something there....Is Cotto's chin that suspect?....if so take away the Hatton remark I said earlier.....

I think it might be..he did recover in that fight..but I believe had Torres been in shape he would have finished cotto, because he hurt him badly it was not a flash cotto was also wobbled on a few occasions..and torres took the fight on nine days or something like that...

yeah since then he's been in with really light punchers...

well then i wonder what will be hatton's excuse cause he had plenty of time to prepare for Collazo and was nearly taken out in the final round

Well Morales you need to get your facts right mate, Hatton had under 7 weeks to prepare after initally being in camp for a 140 fight against Luzano ( spelling the guy who just beat Tackie ) So he didnt have alot of time to prepare.

Cotto is strong pressure fighter but not a banger .

Cotto is not a banger? Hmm. Let's see. Cotto has a top, if not the top, body attack. That's what a banger does, correct? Hmm, what else? Cotto bangs his opponents in the face (Branco: broken jaw, broken arm. Malignaggi: Broken nose, broken orbital, broken jaw). If Cotto is not a banger then I dont know who is. This guy is dangerous!!

He aint banged nobody out in his last few fights im talking about a real crisp counter puncher ,Cotto is not a banger he is a strong digs his feet in and that why is so vulnerable .

Fact Branco and Abudellev had been banged out and he wore them down them hit them with everything i would'nt call Ricky a banger either both are strong pressure fighters who need to be on the front foot.

Theres a difference beetween a banger and a strong agressive fighter Zab Judah is a banger he can throw a match winner of the back foot .

So what if Paulie jab and grabs face was a mess that just means he stood up to a lot of punishment .
You would'nt Jesus chavez a banger but look what happened to Lavender Johnson he wore him down with pressure withj tragic consequnces .

Big difference .

HAtton beat KT fair and square and I belive he was the only man at 140 to be able to do it.
I wouldnt call Kostya into play though regarding who Cottos met and who he hasnt.
Kostya fought one fight too many and lost it becuase giving the best thats out there a shot is what all real champs do.
His best was in his prime like any fighter.
Just like J C when Kostya fought him and won, I wondered if that would have been the case when JC was in his prime (I think not).
What I like about Hatton / Cotto is that they are matched and their styles wont clash into a boring fight as they are in their prime and ready.
Would be a tradgedy to boxing history if one or the other avoided it.

Cotto can not bang with anybody except a guy with 5 knockouts in 25 fights....

If he was to exchange with hatton...bye cotto....

Hell i think a guy with 13 or 12 knockouts...(collazo) would even sit cotto down in an exchange....

Cotto knocks guys out that dont fight back...Torres fought back and look what happend and torres was out of shape....

Haha

Cotto has power, but as someone previously said, he is like Hatton, not a massive puncher, but a very big puncher, and the way they fight they need to be, being constantly hit with those shots, take its toll

Dont forget Paulie is very hard to hit, cleanly, if at all, but he still came out with a fractured cheek bone and a mess of a face

And I dont like Cotto...
