Quote of Note
Floyd-Cotto Better Match Than Floyd-Manny
“I think its a good match up style wise. I will even go as far as to say that this could be a better fight than the much hyped Floyd/Manny super fight. I think Floyds style will give Manny fits. Cotto has become a much more seasoned, calculating fighter who can box and fight. Cotto also changes up his hand speed depending on his opponent. This is not an easy touch for Floyd and kudos to team Mayweather for not taking a soft touch. Dare I say that this is actually a tougher fight now than it would have been say five years ago mostly because both fighters style has changed somewhat. Cotto has improved and morphed into a multidimensional fighter.” –Michael Abii gives Mayweather-Cotto match the thumbs up
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
