What I'm about to say may hurt their fans, but Cotto and Taylor were overrated!

[Mojita]

Cotto and Jermaine Taylor were overrated. They are 2 fighters who when against inferior comp looked superb. When pit against guys who were not overly athletic, and used a basic style against them, they both failed miserably. Margs and Pav have talent don't get me wrong, but Jt and Cotto were looked at as guys who were going to be the future of boxing. Maybe they still can be. I'm the first to call them overrated based on their styles.

Jermaine Taylor had NO infighting skills, and that is why he lost to Pav. Cotto had no right hand, and no inside game against a stronger fighter and that is why he lost. J.T could box, but he had no leverage on his shots. Cotto is an excellent boxer who couldn't fight when backed up. J.T had great offense but no defense. Cotto had an excellent offense and no defense. Both fighters failed at trying to rest during a fight. They fought too hard, and hurt themselves with the way they chose to fight the men who beat them. Ali said you had to train the body to take damage to protect the head, and Duran said you have to be able to know how to rest during a fight which is why he never seemed to get tired in fights. Words of wisdom.

Yes, Cotto and J.T were overrated and I don't care what any of you say. They fought their hearts out, but when pit against their equal they failed miserably. I commend J.T for going after an immediate rematch. Margs didn't even fight Williams in an immediate rematch. We'll wait and see what Cotto does. Imo he has to rematch Margs.

So.. your basically telling me...

Cotto is over rated a good but limited fighter ?

So wins over..

Shane Mosley [Still tough to anybody in the game]
Zab Judah
Carlos Quintana [Former WBO champ after Cotto and very skilled boxer who beat the man who beat Marg]
Ricardo Torres [Former WBO champ after Cotto and had Cotto on his ass but still lost]
Kelson Pinto
Paulie Malignaggi [Now IBF champion and facing Hatton to unify next]
Marg [even though he lost, he hung in and showed alot of determination and skill]

and other notable oppositions give him the title "over rated" ?

want me to get started on taylor ?

If you mean that they have flaws. Who doesn't ?

What makes them a even better boxer with their "flaws" they still get the W end of the day.

I don't see why there overrated. They were just picked as favorites and were very popular to the public but i don't see at all how they were overrated, they both had BIG wins to justify their skill and talent.

The guys I'm talking about lost. You can sit here and give us the all American honest answer...I don't mind. Taylor and Cotto had glaring flaws long before their big fights and got by on being bigger and stronger than their comp. I'm not the first or last to mention this. When Marquez lost to Pac, and Barrera or Morales lost, Hop, nobody talked about them being flawed. We all talked about Naseem being flawed, Hatton being flawed darchinian being flawed. These 2 I mentioned were criticized as not having heart, not being able to fight inside, not body punching, and moving too much and wasting energy. I said this and the critics said this. We can't all be wrong, and we can't be wrong for giving our opinion. Even a few boxers were quoted and said Cotto fought the right but his biggest flaw was his defense.
