Now a free agent.
Yup. Exactly this.
We've had a broad discussion on this previously, but never specifically focused on Cotto. Do you consider Cotto a great fighter, or is it more...
Probably because he suffered a stroke 20 years ago, and his quality of life was poor from then until his death. So it's kind of deceiving that he...
The kid looks like a hero from a South Korean action flick.
Yup. Glad other posters are starting to see it as well. "Clearly" greater than Barrera my ass. I agree with Neil that Gonzalez was a better...
Cho Gue-sung.
It would appear Arum will outlive Merchant and DK, but there's no way to be sure.
I'm not sure what the Choco "clearly" greater argument is. I think by saying "clearly" it furthers my point that Chocolatito is extremely...
Judah actually belongs here. Zab's prime lasted nearly a decade, I would say 99-07. After the beating Cotto gave him in 07 he was the never the...
Corley???? Chop Chop had a very short prime. He was a journeyman longer than he was a good fighter.
John John Molina
Marquez lights his ass up, but would have to endure some scary moments to do so. He would though. Bailey was a poor finisher.
I've rewatched Lewis-Tyson a grand total of one time - like maybe a year after it happened, so like 2003. No interest in rewatching it again. Too...
Yup! Another good one.
Another good example.
Good one!
Messi single handedly carrying his team. Cristina's team doing better without him.
Actually, there is a HOFmer who fits well here. Daniel Zaragoza. Long, good prime, but never a great. I dunno why TF he's in the Hall, but whatever.
Wilfredo Vazquez also fits. Was a good fighter for a long time, but never a brilliant prime.
Miguel Angel Gonzalez fits. He had a very solid, but unspectacular prime from 92-96.
I'm thinking about lower level guys than Cotto. Like non-HOFmers.
Damn Spain.
Ruben Olivares started blowing hot and cold after his peak, and was still an icon in Mexico.
Not to sound morbid, but I feel like either Merchant or King will go in 2023. Not saying I wish it on either, just have a hunch that at least one...
Now I see an outlet reporting it. I wasn't doubting you, just didn't see it. RIP Mills.
Yeah, really strange argument. Not even huge Lewis fans and Tyson haters ever argue that Lummox had a better chin. He simply did not.
Hmmm. Well, I'll wait until I see other sources confirm, but I wouldn't doubt it. He's never been the same after he had a stroke years back. And...
Wait, hold on. Where are you seeing that he died? I don't see it in the news.
Rest easy, Mills.
