Nonsense. Because of the way Paul leans and bends, he'd be a prime candidate for Cotto's body shots....but it shouldn't be the body shots that...
Boxing's never, ever been about physique. I know you know this...but it's worth mentioning; and not only for fans - it's amazing how many boxers...
Bingo.
He doesn't FIGHT bigger (i.e. long & tall)...but Gomez has been at higher weights longer and is a bit taller. And can be very physical.
:lol: Good point. Just don't discount the mental laxity...when Cotto does that he tends to be lackadaisical and I can't see him getting up for...
I'm not a Floyd "groupie." But Hatton's rationale is ridiculous - and inaccurate. There is no shame in clearly losing to one of the top PxPers...
Gomez is bigger than Cotto and his toughness is underrated. That's why I was in the distinct minority in picking him to beat and stop Gatti. And...
I wouldn't be surprised to see Gomez go the distance...and have a good round or three.
:lol: Before even coming on the board I KNEW this thread would be started. I don't know what folks expected...I could understand folks...
Well, Hopkins tried that strategy and it "worked"....so I figure Jones Jr. is reapplying it.
Since when does Trinidad have a consistent reputation of "always" being drained or needing extra tries to make weight?
He is?
Come on, REED. Hopkins in 2001 was a better and more well-rounded fighter than the one that fought RJJ EIGHT years earlier. It is after the...
Agreed on all counts. It's stylistically a VERY good fight and Cintron is live given his size/reach and right hand. Peace.
Yup...that's been my sneaking suspicion ever since I heard of this even remotely happening. Either that...or they are going by the Tarver and...
Caplency kreeping in is something any fighter would struggle with.
I think Woods is underrated....I thought that even when he took on Roy Jones long ago. He's not a PxPer, but he's a very solid boxer with...
Agreed. I had it 7-4-1 (116-113). Best I can see it is 7-5 Cotto. Peace.
I hear what you're saying...but I think his chin and underrated strength/stamina have alot to do with it, maybe moreso. Peace.
:lol: :doh:
He has a chance to win, no doubt. They both do. But do you PICK Taylor? EDIT: Yes, you do...in the first page, no less. LOL.
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...
I have always said that Pavlik did drop his hands and either attempt to clown or complain about the elbow and that's when he got dropped... But...
Echoing Rubio...with all due respect, you've got to be kidding. :doh:
It was an utterly useless conference. :lol:
The Untouchable One! :clap: The funny thing about Locche is, he didn't LOOK like the defensive wizard and left-hand specialist he was....either...
They're right to avoid Witter....they need to get their math skills in order first so they can calculate the "lion's share." :lol:
That's the N'Dou fight, which I haven't seen. However, I've seen quite a few of his other all the way up to Cherry and he has always remained...
Fixed.
Paulie has very quick feet, is constantly on the move - and knows how to get full extension on his jab. He also is able to throw combinations...
