That's difficult to argue against. :lol: "However" Trinidad never pounded the canvas after a phantom body punch either.
By the end of the fight Cotto was more marked up and bleeding...who caused more damage? :dunno: Also, punchstats claim they landed the same...

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: "However" Oscar probably looks better in high heels than Jin.
I don't really think that (Mosley over Oscar), I wanted to get your goat a bit. :lol: "However" In terms of career, I certainly believe...
I take it this is before he got his jaw broken and lost on Telefutura a couple weeks ago. I saw the fight and all I have to say is, the kid...
And Mrs. REED will be parked outside with a loaded 12 gauge with Joey Greco and the film crew from "Cheaters." :laughing:
Madonna sold more records than the Beatles.
In terms of achievement 1). Trinidad - Had a longer title reign than either at any weight 2). Mosley - lifted two titles directly from...
How so? One of the biggest knocks against Oscar is that he spent a relatively short period of time in any division before moving to 147 when he...
:lol: :lol: You and Sly watched the fight at Cupey's house. :lol:
Jake, My post above your last sums up my point. Essentially, the separation between the three goes back to popularity and I'm saying that...
All I'm saying is that Oscar, Trinidad and Mosley are in the same boat as far as being 1st ballot or 2nd ballot guys. Singling out Oscar...
I had it a 114-114. I couldn't bitch about 115-113 for Cotto or for Mosley but giving Cotto 8 rounds means you didn't see the fight or didn't...
I knew it went from 162 to 166, I thought Mr. Jake upped it. Regardless, 166 or 168...it's still a terrible fight and I ain't buyin'.
:nono: In the words of Emannuel Steward...it's "e-lightist"
Didn't BitchAss Jake say they upped it another 2 pounds?
I'll go with 'Nando. Mayorga's only got two worthwhile rounds in him. These guys are fighting at 168. It's going to look like Gerald...
You realize that by playing up the popularity part of Oscar's career you're actually aiding any argument toward Gatti getting into the Hall of...
I hate the Contender and everything ASSociated with it; therefore, I have yet to see this fight. I'm sure ESPN will rerun it once, twice or three...
If that's the case, then almost no one from that era is deserving. Lemmon, Holyfield, Roy would be about it. Tyson wouldn't qualify nor would...
I really like Vernon in this one. Tall guy who has a stiff punishing jab and an excellent uppercut to boot... In Vernon's first fight with...
agREED. There's nothing left for Shane to prove. His chin is his best/worst attribute. Some of the shots he took would have stopped damn near...
What was interesting about the fight is, Shane hurt Cotto to the body FAR more than he hurt him to the head. Cotto did a good job of keeping his...
Good post, "however" Shane represented the elite of the sport during his prime and at at 36, how many other fighters could have done what he...
I've liked Cotto since his days of headlining on FNF's with Ivan Calderon.
Guess I should have read the entire thread... 100% agREED.
The only exciting fight in that list was the Gatti beatdown. Floyd stood in and handled Gatti every second of every round. The Judah fight...
Steward got a bad rap for Taylor. The person to blame is Pat Burns. Taylor looked good against B-level competition because they couldn't...
It's not much of a secret that Mosley got the better of Cotto in the bodypunching war. Cotto landed cleaner and harder punches up top.
