Martinez-Cotto 6/7
Now...if Cotto wins......how does this NOT entice Mayweather to go after that 160lb crown?
It was a clear victory for Swift.....I agree.
One thing though, I dont like how people are downplaying Matthysse now after Swift beat him.....it's not fair to Danny. It was Danny's biggest win but on other sites I keep hearing people say that LM already had lost to Alexander and Judah, so he was a "manufactured" boogeyman, and that LM hadnt beaten anyone either.
If you take that victory away from Swift, which is his biggest win, it's not fair. IMO, LM is and was clearly #2 at 140 and LM thinks he can beat Danny in a rematch.....and so do many others. I feel as if Danny goes in there again, and beats him in an even more impressive fashion, it propels Danny up as the next star in the boxing world, gives him the full credit he deserves, and will also grant him his biggest paycheck to date.....especially if it's on Floyd's undercard again and sets up Floyd vs Garcia for September.
Other than LM or Peterson, there's no one left for him at 140, and the fight with Peterson should be a cake walk if he chooses that. I dont have a problem with that fight either, because he should already have all the belts
him for doing what he's supposed to do.
I dont know...maybe I bought into the Matthysse hype. In my mind he lost CLEARLY to Zab and I thought Alexander beat him as well, no robbery either. I dont like Peterson at all. I dont think he's good at all and was scared of Matthysse's power which is what got him KOd.
I dont wanna slight Garcia though, because if we take away Matthysse, then who does he really have on his resume? If Matthysse was overhyped, Zab was already out of his prime and got destroyed by Paulie 12-0 in his next fight, Khan has a china chin and a "B fighter" that people on thecoli to call him, Morales was already old and already been through too many wars, as well as Nate Campbell and Kendall ****.....that's pretty much downplaying Swift's whole career and I dont agree. I dont agree at all, because Danny is a good kid and he EARNED all his victories and his way up. He hasnt cherry picked anyone nor ducked anyone.
Danny has boxing skills and amazing one punch KO power. I didnt even think he had boxing skills like that until he switched up his style when he fought Matthysse. He's beaten everyone in his path and all he does is win. He wasnt even the favorite in his Matthysse fight
I dont know breh. There's nothing I can say, but Danny just wins....he just wins. He wasnt/isnt being fast tracked to being a star. He's being matched in good/hard fights and he always comes out the victor. That has to count for something, so I'm not gonna disrespect his accomplishments. He's coming up the old fashioned way and all I can do is
Really, he deserves a "soft" touch in Lamont Peterson, because he's taken on all opponents and at the time, they were considered good matchups for him. After he beats them, then they get downplayed which by cause and effect throws shade on Danny's record, which isnt fair to me
That's how it is on the internet breh
You undefeated you ain't fight nobody
You catch your first L you're exposed
You beat someone that's undefeated they were over hyped
You beat somebody with Ls they been beaten before who cares
As far as Swift is concerned you can't be surprised...Angel said it himself in regards to Matthysse he's king Kong now N once we beat him errybody will say he's a bum
Fight **** as a step up, HBO rooting for **** you get the W N its ehhh who cares
A roided out Lamont beats **** 2 years later N muhfukkers running around saying hes better then Swift N Matthysse
Morales gives Chino hell is the champ N doesn't make weight...young Swift Wins N its ehhh who cares
Khan is the favorite "king" of 140 hasn't been kod in forever....Swift blasts that nikka in epic fashion....ehhhh who cares Khans chinny
The nikka cleaned out his division is undefeated N should be undisputed N can't even make it on the Ring P4P list
That's why I don't blame them for taking an easy touch N staying at 140....then gradually work they way up to 147....fight Floyd now for what?? Take a L have errybody "confirm" that you "average" then get thrown to the wolves at 147 fukk all that
He basically knows it isnt any point of rushing up to a crowded 147 yet, because it will just make him "another" fighter there instead of The Man like he is at 140lbs. He fights Floyd, loses, and then gets Thurman for his efforts?
Cotto also has a whole island behind him as well too, which doesn't hurt
