I think so. He was in with better competition than Foster was, and beat some (ie: Johnson, Saad Muhammad).
Raf.
I've heard such from Mayweather's own mouth, like the time he told the HBO crew that Cotto was "too green" to deserve a fight with him but then...
But is Cotto's hunger so diminished at this point that he fucking QUITS from body shots?? That was my question. And has Cotto ever been...
Exactly.
If that's your criteria, then... 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. No 4. No 5. Yes 6. No
AGREED. That's why I think Cotto can pose huge problems for Mayweather (and why Mayweather's been reluctant to fight him)... he's not merely a...
Ludicrous? DeLaHoya didn't stand almost entirely flatfooted in his last two fights? Hoya didn't look like he quit to Hopkins? Hoya deserved the...
A 2/3 point fight is 2/3 point fight any way you want to look at it. You also didn't answer my question.
This is the fight I really want to see (assuming Margarito gets by Paul Williams of course). Cotto seems to be more polished and technically...
No, he's not. ALL he has at this point is power. His hand speed and reflexes have clearly diminished, and his feet are cement. Cotto at this...
I wonder if those same people talk about what Zab "didn't do" against Mayweather and Baldomir, because those were much closer fights and a much...
Agreed 100%. Also throw in the fact that Mayweather arguably lost as many as 5 rounds to Judah, whereas Cotto was clearly much farther ahead...
He'd quit to all of them.
Gainer vs. JMM, what a disgrace.
Who wins this battle of quick-handed, mobile Russian southpaws?
Actually, HERE is the logic of calling Jones chinny... He was fragile enough to be outright RUINED by one punch. End of story.
Your math is what doesn't make sense.
Jesse James Leija - the rematch with Azumah Nelson Gabe Ruelas - vs. Leija Vince Phillips - the win over Tszyu (this one may be debatable)
What the hell are you talking about?? He beats fighters of Jose Cervantes' caliber (or lack thereof, I should say) all the time.
Yep. :lol: :lol: And he also threw in, "This is exactly the way I expected it to be..." :lol: :lol: I nearly laughed my ass off when he said...
Kid Gavilan gave his career best performance against Billy Graham in front of 40,000 fans in Havana on the day I was born. Funny enough, the...
And that proves he can't beat Olivares? How many big fights did Chucho Castillo, Rafael Herrera, Art Hafey, David Kotey, Jose Cervantes, or...
Agreed.
Yes, because the guy he will have beaten is a better and more highly regarded fighter at this time than the guy Mayweather just beat.
More importantly, Hoya was at his absolute peak then... he wasn't the shopworn, lost-2-of-his-last-3-fights version that Mayweather fought....
The right answer. It should be added as a poll option.
Getting back to the topic, Hoya's legacy has two main strikes against it: 1) His (seeming) quit job against Hopkins in what was unquestionably...
Based on what? That statement is questionable at best.
No one asked about 130. :nono: :tease: :lol:
