I hope Gomez has a doctor on call.

[Maverick]

I hope this fight gets cancelled.

[Joe King]

what a letdown:old:

[TKO]

Dont know much about the guy but I didnt think he was anywhere near Cotto's level. :dunno:

[Joe King]

I thought he was going to fight Chavez Jr?????? Now he gets Cotto.

I guess Mickey Ward is up next for Cotto after this.:doh:

[Hut*Hut]

I really like Gomez, he's a good technical fighter, underrated by hardcore fans. But talk about a bridge too far. He'll be lucky to see the final bell.

I hope Gomez has a doctor on call.:lol: :bears:

[Xplosive]

I hope this fight gets cancelled.

Not me. I fucking hate Gomez! I'm gonna love every minute of watching Cotto beat him within an inch of his life.

[joony]

i doubt this fight happens.

[Donnybrook]

I was one of the few that picked Gomez to stop Gatti.

He's underrated in some respects, but I don't see him as a good technical fighter. He's just solid - but better than people give him credit for.

Still, he's basic.

The one thing that IS vastly underrated is his CHIN...and remember Gomez has fought as high as 160.

I wouldn't be surprised to see this go the distance.

Peace.

[Xplosive]

Gomez is shit! Cotto could pluck his eye brows, drink n drive, and whup Gomez's ass at the same time!

[phonetap]

well cotto deserves a soft touch (for lack of better words) after physically brusing fights against judah and mosley...

[joony]

if margarito is such an overrated bum as many of you haters might suggest, why doesnt cotto fight him instead of that club fighter?

[TKO]

I tend to agree Cotto already has an impressive CV, and bigger fights will come soon.

[Rubio MHS]

This fight's a big :flip: to everyone who said that Gomez was top-10 at welterweight because he beat the mighty Arturo Gatti.

[Neil]

whipping gatti obviously makes you a viable opponent as far as hbo is concerned. is a win over him at this point worth more than beating wilfredo negron, haters?

to quote michael irvin, I hope this match is criticized with "the SAME intensity" as when el nitro made his debut on the network.

Well he does have your standard meat and two veg 'basic' mexican style, but he does a lot of things very nicely in there, he's cuter than many give him credit for. It's certainly not his physical attributes that got him where he is, put it that way.

[LEGENDARY]

He's gonna ge pounded into Oblivion.:doh:

[LOK]

8 round tko for Cotto

[ILLUMINATI]

like kauki...

This fight sucks.....i rather see him against Clottey....

Miguel Cotto offer MARGARITA a fight...but he thought he would be slick and decided to fight Williams for less money..and alot..alot less exposure...:dunno:

He took a gamble. Had Margarito won the Williams fight it would have made the Cotto fight that much bigger.

[Beyond the Grave]

There will be a death on Cotto's hands

[ILLUMINATI]

He lose....now he can't say people are avoiding/ducking him....

Cotto was willing to fight Phony last year, but Phony fought Williams instead.

[joony]

Cotto was willing to fight Phony last year, but Phony fought Williams instead.

margarito fought williams because williams was talking shit and he was also his mandatory.

regardless, he did take a gamble and lost. i'd still would like to see margarito-cotto.

win or lose, cotto won't escape unscathed from that fight.

[Mitchell Kane]

Can someone translate this page, because this is what I got from the website through a cheap online translation.

"It sounds Gómez against Cotto 9-enero-2008 The suit would be April 26 with the semiestelar of Judah-Margarito. The next defense of Miguel Cotto is increasingly more concrete: April 26 in Atlantic City, possibly before Alfonso Gómez. According to sources of The New Day, Oscar Of the Valley seems inclined to be faced in its return to the ring to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. in a collision of revenge indicated for May 3, remaining ruled out thus the champion boricua as rival of the Golden Boy.

[ArturoGatti]

Cotto was willing to fight Phony last year, but Phony fought Williams instead.you have a strange fascination with Margarito. It's like you're the bizzaro Attraction, instead of blindly following a fighter, you blindly hate him, and bring him up in every post.

[Double L]

here's a question: Why the FK doesn't COTTO fight Williams? Can we all agree it's because of the very real possibility (dare I say probability) that he'd lose to him?

[Tam Tam]

Williams has a fight lined up with a guy Cotto KOed. For fucks sake, its like Williams can do no wrong, cannot be beaten and created sliced bread.

He narrowly beat Margarito and thats it. He's BEHIND Cotto.

[Xplosive]

You must not read many of my posts, cause I damn near dont bring up Phony's name unless a thread is about, or related to him. Its no secret I dont care for him, but to say I blindly hate on him is a joke.

[adamiw]

i'd like to see Gomez in with someone around the lower middle/bottom of that Welterweight top 10 to see how he'd fair.....at the moment he hasn't done enough to warrant a shot at Cotto....and after beating Mosley, Gomez would be viewed as a soft touch....they've got to build on that momentum

When i first saw Gomez in the contender, his style did remind me of Cotto....the high guard, steady aggression and the way he puts his punches together

Cintron's a helluva lot better than Gomez, that's for sure. At least he's fighting a top 10 guy. Oh well. Just wondering why Cotto's not fighting Williams. I guess I'll have to keep wondering.

Judah and Mosley 2 top 10 Welterweights.....:dunno: whats the problem....

what does Cintron have to do with this thread?

[whiskey]

I agree that Cotto deserves a "soft touch", but Gomez? This is a guy that was supposed to be fighting a prospect next.

[Joe King]

Yeah, I think even Ottkay Urkel is a step above Gomez. This is on par with the Guilani Branco fight.

I guess I'll have to keep wondering.Yeah hes better but we all know Cotto beats the shit out of both. Obviously Cintron has more name and a title so he would be a bigger win. Getting Cintron in the ring would be the difficulty. Amagine how bad his hand would be if he was told he was fighting Cotto.

you'll have to ask Tam Tam that question - he's the one who brought him up. apparently, since Williams is slated to fight Cintron, it's taboo to ask the question, "why doesn't Cotto fight Williams?" I "think" that's what he's trying to say, although I can certainly understand your confusion as to the relevance.

Williams is fighting Cotto's son...QUINTANA....:nono:

Jesus, you're such a moron.

[valdosta]

Cotto is fighting a guy who lost to Jessie Feliciano. :doh:

[Tam Tam]

Cotto is fighting a guy who lost to Jessie Feliciano. :doh:
And he fought a guy who beat Feliciano too. :dunno: A couple of them.

[valdosta]

Cotto has no bussiness in the ring with guys who can't even beat Feliciano. This is a BAD fight. Complete and utter crap.

[Double L]

i don't expect for a minute that Cotto/Williams will get made any time soon. Williams has one big win on his resume, and Cotto's an over-rated super-star. Why would he risk his HBO-hype credibility fighting a guy as durable and as big as Williams? But I don't think it's a crime to ask the question. Do you? I mean we all know that Cotto/Williams is "the" fight at 147 now that PBF has officially ducked all top welter-weights. Is there any denying that?

I think the argument could be made that Margarito and Williams are the two best welter-weights in the world. Let's see Cotto prove me wrong by fighting one of them. That's what I want to see (now that PBF has officially ducked all real challenges at 147).

Miguel Cotto is the best Welterweight in the world....

Miguel Cotto is the best Welterweight in the world....

Only if somebody assassinates Floyd.

[Joe King]

....not named Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Floyd is retired....

Floyd hasn't fought a legit welterweight since Bumdomir over a year ago....in that time Cotto has face..Quintana,Judah,Mosley 3 top 10 Welterweights...:warning:

Mayweather's resume :shit: on Cotto's.

you act like he stopped Shane in the 1st round. That fight definitely could have gone to Shane. Cotto was running ala Tito in the last few rounds!

[ILLUMINATI]

Cotto won that fight quite easily...8-4...9-3..running ala TITO? :dunno: When did Tito run?

[Joe King]

8-4 Cotto is ridiculous.

Mayweather ran against Tata and cried.

I had it 116-112 and that was with Cotto giving the last couple of rounds away. I didn't think it was a close fight at all. Miguel had Shane beat very early on.

I hear what you're saying...but I think his chin and underrated strength/stamina have alot to do with it, maybe moreso.

Peace.

Agreed. I had it 7-4-1 (116-113). Best I can see it is 7-5 Cotto.

Peace.
