Cotto's defense blows

Let's face it. The guy's defense is awful. He's just such an offensive machine, he's a handful for anyone. I think he beats PBF and Hatton, but with his shit defense I'm not so sure he gets by Cintron or Margarito. Translation: he'll never fight either of those guys.

 

He's not a defensive wizard, but his defense doesn't "blow". With his style he's going to get tagged, but it's not as if he can't out of the way of punches.

Where the hell is this coming from?

 

What about Margarito's defense? Or Cintron's resilence? And Cotto has a better defense than both! In fact, the only guy I wouldn't make him a favourite over in the boxers you listed is Mayweather. And BTW, Margarito already turned down a fight against Cotto, so ducking already happened, and it was the other way around.

 

Double, did you pick ODLH and Baldomir to beat PBF as well?

 

:: @ anything this guy says. I honestly think he's relapsed. His posting is so erratic and without cohesion, he must be suffering from some ailment or another.

Addiction can be a terrible thing.

 

you're an idioot.

 

:bears:

 

He beats Mayweather but gets beat by Cintron?? You are dumb.

 

:cheer: Cotto is the new Sweat Pea

 

I very well might be an "idioot", but I do remember who I picked to win PBF-ODLH and PBF-Baldomir. So, who did you pick?

Yes because Margarito and Cintron defense are are sooo great... Cotto defense is better than both....

Margarito already ducked Cotto back in 2007...it was suppose to be Margarito getting beat around the ring in MSG back in June...not Zab Judah...

Cotto offense and defense are better than Margarito so how is he going to deal with COTTO? :dunno:

 

His defense didn't look like it blew against Judah or Mosley, 2 very quick handed fighters.

No attacking fighter that isn't called Duran is a defensive wizard, that goes without saying.

But for an aggressive fighter, Cotto's defense is not bad at all.

In fact his defense is better than amateurish cintron, and slow arse predictable margarito.

Cotto would beat the shit out of the pair of them.

double bubble.. come on man..

you are saying Cotto doesn't get by CINTRON but he beats Floyd? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

 

I agree!

 

The most credible poster on here. Double L.:bears:

 

PBF can't knock Cotto out. Margarito and/or Cintron can. that's the difference. and that's why Cotto's defensive liabilities are not an issue against a pillow fisted guy like PBF, but can be "fatal" against a hard-hitting killer like Cintron or Margarito.

Styles make fights. Not reputations. Not P4P lists. Not personal preferences. And dare I say, not ethnicity.

Cintron has several inches on Cotto, and will land on him in combination. With long and hard right hands and upper-cuts.

If Cotto thought Torres hit hard, wait until he feels Cintron's wrath.

 

OK, but Cotto has better defense than both Cintron and Margarito.

 

to dimwitnipple:

I made it clear, even before the PBF/Baldomir fight, that my pick was in moral support of Carlos.

When I get predictions right, I don't gloat. I don't consider it much more than luck.

When I get them wrong, I don't give a shit except for the fact that so many idiots around here seem to think that it's a reflection of an individual's intelligence, whether they got it right or wrong. Guess what. It's not. If it were, you think guys like Bert Sugar (smelly idiot) or Dan Rafael (fat shill) could emerge as prominent figures in the boxing media?

Get a life dimwitnipple. Your act is old. And your attempt at using the socratic method like you do is proof that if you aren't in high school, you should be, and certainly didn't graduate from it in any case.

 

Cintron is just simply not good enough..

on top of it Cintron's D is much worse than Cotto's and Cotto WILL land on him

no doubt styles make fights.. I think FLoyd could beat cotto... I don't give Cintron a chance in hell

Cotto's D is not so bad to be KO'd by someone on Cintron's level IMO..

I also don't know that Floyd couldn't stop him.. but he wouldn't have to.. hit and not get hit... floyd does that better than anyone.

 

If there's someone who can exploit Cotto's defensive weaknesses it's Floyd, not a slow, fragile basic 1-2 puncher like Cintron. Power can bail Cintron out against guys like Estrada, Suarez or Feliciano, but against Cotto he'd need more than that and unfortunately for him, he doesn't have what it takes.

definitely better than Margarito. not so sure about Cintron. Cintron has a pretty decent defense.

 

a long armed 1-2 puncher is exactly what it takes to beat Cotto. you'll find out soon enough. it's guys who wanna mix it up with Cotto and let him get close that get chewed up. But working behind a jab and setting up big right hands - Cotto will be troubled.

Pavlik, for example, P4P, would have a good shot at beating Cotto, depending on who manages to control the distance. If Cotto can bore his way in he wins. But if Pavlik spooks Cotto with his power, he wins.

 

Cotto would chew PBF up. He'd walk through his shots, corner him and beat the shit out of him. Unlike ODH, he'd force PBF to trade, and he'd pay for it no doubt, but in the end, it'd be Cotto landing the damaging blows.

 

and yet he was almost knocked out by Torres and seriously hurt by Corley?

let's get real here folks. Cotto has beaten Quintana and squeaked by Mosley. he's in no way proven himself the superior welterweight as of yet.

 

Cintron beating Cotto :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

 

Well if Margarito wasn't busy losing to Cottos Grandson Cotto would have already beaten your boy Tony.
