Cotto at 154, I don't know if that's smart. They're taller and stronger up there. And who would he fight? Angulo? Cintron? Paul? Sergio? Dslkfjsdsf? All those dudes can bang outside and inside and they're all 5'10" or bigger.

Rob, I forgot about the fighting Rabbi I totally missed that part of your post

ECP, I get what you're saying about the trainers you're right for the most part.

JCC Jr. is looking at Duddy from what I've heard so far. Andy Lee's name also got thrown out there (what the hell happened to him?). Qualityopponents there so I guess they're going to start that.
 
^^^WBA belt holder....

edit. Yuri Foreman...i forgot his name. Cotto can kill him. But I want to see him fight Margs.
 
in other news Chavez Jr is 41-0 when is he finally gonna fight a quality Opp.???? is he tryna chase his dads 107 or something? or is he tryna get to 70-0before he fights a Quality person?

I've seen a lot of Berto fights and i really dont think he's ready for Mosley caliber
 
I didn't see it as Cotto trying to outmuscle Pac. I saw a discouraged fighter that had no answer....and not to mention could keep up with Pac'srelentless style.
 
^so u didnt see pac flying across the ring in round 1?

pac's face looked bad after that fight and thats only in 5 rounds.

pac doesnt want it wit PBF i just seen his espn interview and he's like aaaaaaah bob arum handle aaaaah i can fight aaaaah anybody. he dodged the questionsdude asked him twice.

Its all good i cant wait till cotto come's back. He aint done at all. I bet we'll see a Rematch maybe not right away but def. in the next 2 years. Arumwill sign that up again. hell if marquez and morales can get em so can cotto with a new trainer.
 
1 round tells the story of the fight? Even still, Cotto fought his style. Even in round 1, I felt his offense was still methodical....
 
Oh I know, just thought I'd throw that tidbit out there

If Hatton fights Khan next year, he's not fighting again after that.

Anyway, update on Z:
Gorres shows signs of recovery

Z Gorres

MANILA, Philippines - In a state of induced coma, fighter Z Gorres yesterday showed signs of recovery in the intensive care unit of the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas but remained in critical condition at least for the next 24 hours.

Gorres, 27, was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance after pounding out a unanimous 10-round decision over Colombian Luis Melendez at the House of Blues in the Mandalay Resort and Casino last Friday night. The southpaw from Mandaue collapsed in the ring moments after it was announced he had won.

Gorres, a mainstay of the fabled ALA boxing stable of Cebu, dominated the fight until the last 20 seconds when he went down hard from a vicious left straight but survived the assault to finish the bout on his feet. He had floored Melendez with a powerful left-right combination in the third round.

ALA stable owner Tony Aldeguer said his son Michael, who is Gorres' registered manager, reported from Las Vegas that doctors noted brain activity from the fighter and called it a positive sign.

A team of five doctors led by neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Seiff operated on Gorres to relieve pressure on the brain about an hour after the fight. The surgery took nearly two hours. Aldeguer said the procedure involved removing a part of Gorres' skull to prevent damage to the brain. The removed portion will be later placed back, possibly attached by a metal plate, when Gorres is able to undergo another procedure.

"Doctors had to open up Buchoy's skull to lessen the compression on the outer layer of the brain," explained Aldeguer, using Gorres' nickname. "In a less serious condition, they would've just bore a hole through the skull and drained the fluid. But in Buchoy's case, they took out a piece of the skull because there was swelling in the brain. They wanted to relieve the pressure and reduce the swelling right away to avoid permanent damage."

Aldeguer said since the surgery, the swelling has subsided - which was another positive sign.

"There's quite an improvement in Buchoy's situation," said Aldeguer who is monitoring developments from his home in Cebu City. "When doctors decreased his level of sedation, he would try to get the tube out of his mouth. That's a good sign of brain activity. If he's not sedated too much, he'll move."

Aldeguer said he broke the news to Gorres' wife Datchess who burst into tears after finding out what happened.

"Datchess has a very strong faith in God," said Aldeguer. "She told me Buchoy loves their children so much that he'll survive this trial."

Gorres and his wife have four children - Dheybert, 7, Sheiladhey, 5, Zhey, 3 and Khodney, five months old. The fighter is one of five children born to Celestino, a jeepney driver, and Zeta, a housewife. Gorres was baptized ZC, the initials of his parents' first names. He eventually dropped the "C" in his name and retained the "Z."

In 2005, tragedy struck the Gorres family when his only brother Jun was stabbed to death in a bar brawl in Cebu. Jun, once a promising pro fighter, was 31. His record was 25-3-1, with 22 KOs, six in the first round. Gorres was a pro for 10 years and retired in 2002 after losing by knockout to Lovemore N'dou in Honolulu. One of his biggest wins was when he came off the canvas to halt Chuchard Eausampan of Thailand in the third round in Tokyo in 1995.

Aldeguer said Gorres will stay in an induced coma for a few more days to stabilize his condition. He expects Gorres to recover in the US for a month before being able to board a plane for the flight home.

Good to hear there's some positive progress on Z's condition.

And for those asking about the mayweather fans, they're all in the other thread talking reckless and started hijacking the thread halfway through thefight.

I think a Cotto/Margs bout shouldn't be thrown out. I think after MAC looks at his options, this bout does makes the most sense monetarily. It'd be ahell of a fight....poetic justice? yes.

you got to think deep down inside cotto would want to beat the !%%% of dude for doing him like that

but on the other hand why help a dude out that could have ended your career that night in the ring and pulled the BIGGEST sin in all of boxing
 
Just finished watching the Cotto/Judah fight...MAC is a totally different looking fighter now.

He was on his toes that whole fight, confident, giving angles and using his jab. Not this mechanical bull that fought Pacman.

He needs a new team ASAP. He still has fight left in him.

Exactly. That was what he was lacking after the 4th round.

I always messed with King Arthur and Kessler in the ring but now I see them out and they seem like good dudes

carl Froch on the other hand, is not a good fighter and appears to have a rotten personality too
I dont like Dirrell neither.
 
Gaaaadang! boyz can't lose a fight without people saying they need to retire these days. For you mayweather fans.... if Cotto fought PBF's resume.He'd be undefeated 2. Real Talk. Say what y'all want. Truth is truth.. Think about it
 
I don't know....you can't compare the resumes because they fought at different classes. Would Cotto be able to beat those 130 and 135 lbers?There's no telling because he never fought there...

But I do agree, Cotto would beat all the 140 and 147 lbers that PBF fought.

edit* I forgot....what about DLH at 154?! Maybe Cotto loses there...I HATE DLH btw.
