Rigo came back last night with a first round KO which is great since he nearly got blinded in that freak accident...why does he always show out on the fights with little TV attention but when he has a bigger spotlight dude resorts back to a lesser dynamic form
Breadman,
Read the post by someone seemingly implying Cotto was overrated. I feel like the Margarito 1 fight changed the trajectory of Cotto's career. The damage he took in that fight was horrific - and may have been the result of foul play. Even William Joppy, Fernando Vargas, and David Reid. All were undefeated prior to Trinidad. What would their careers have been? Are these fighters being downgraded unfairly in your opinion?
Best, Chris
Bread’s Response: I don’t like to compare Margarito and Trinidad. I know Naazim Richardson personally. I asked him personally. He told me that Margarito had illegal knuckle pads that were wet in his wraps. He said that Trinidad simply used too much GAUZE. No objects. I just wanted to make that clear for the people who clump them two together, because they were caught by the same person.
I do think Margarito changed Cotto’s career, but Cotto still would have had to fight Pacquiao and Mayweather. So…..I think Cotto squeezed everything out of his career he was meant to squeeze. I don’t know what Vargas and Reid’s careers would have been. Joppy was a little older when he fought Tito…, I think Joppy was what he was. But losing is part of the game. Getting stopped is part of the game. Most fighters don’t come back the same after brutal losses. So it’s really hard to say. Most big punchers change career trajectories. It’s the game we are in. I think their careers ended up where they were supposed to be. Vargas, Reid and Joppy were all champions when they fought Tito. Attrition is part of all sports. A great fighter beat very good fighters to elevate himself. So therefore I think it’s just the nature of sports. On top of that, I think Tito was a clean fighter. Tito could punch. You could see the leverage in his shots.

Boxing fans celebrating that one big fight is being made while several others spend years and years never being made is comical
If they had just put Spence vs Crawford on there instead of Davis vs Garcia it would still be relevant
I could give a fukk about Ring Magazine too.
