Real Talk: Cotto Has A Real Chance
“Cotto is a live dog in this fight. He has a great jab, can box, move and has a good corner. Props to Floyd for taking this fight at 154 and not playing the catch weight games. Cotto is boxing and moving more instead the bulling forward stalking style and can do both. Floyd might be catching him at the right time before he and his trainer get too much momentum from fights under their belt. Cotto's jab is said to be one of the best in the sport and the left hook of course is good money but Floyd knows all the tricks of the trade an if he boxes smart and comes in on his A-game (which he usually does) he knows how to neutralize those. I got Cotto landing a couple of those hooks and throwing quick combos with his underrated speed and making this a good one.” –Real Talk says Cotto is a live dog, not a dead one, against Mayweather
Another stellar year from our Forum crew, the best in this known universe. Results for Reader of the Year are still being tabulated. In a moment of weakness, I hired CJ Ross to help with the computation and, well, it didn’t go well. Happy New Year to the best and brightest amateur scribes! –Editor Mike
“Boxing is full of optical illusions. And I give Money May MAD props for doing a mix of Houdini and Marlin The Magician. Wow! Money May fought a club-fighting-like humbug in “The Cali Ghost.” And a hyped-up B fighter in Canelo. The promotions were grand to get eyeballs and easy impressionable minds behind those PPV screens. Because the live gates didn’t sell out.” –Radam isn’t sold on this being the year of Money May
“It must be said that even a wounded, war torn Martinez is still a more dangerous threat than Canelo for Cotto. The powers that be must be expecting a phenomenal turnout.” —Brown Sugar says that Martinez is a tougher out for Cotto than Canelo
