so SRR vs Floyd and SRL vs Hitman semis
In this video interview caught by FightHub, Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya talks about Cotto’s farewell fight and what it means for the sport and his legacy. Check out some excerpts of what he had to say below...
De La Hoya on what this final Cotto fight means:
“I see it as a celebration for boxing, for Miguel Cotto, for the Garden, for anybody involved with this event, is in for a treat. I think Miguel Cotto is one of the best fighters or warriors that boxing has had in recent years. He’s always faced the very best. Against Sadam Ali it’s gonna be a tough fight.
“A farewell fight where it’s obviously not going to be easy. Sadam Ali has tons of experience. Here at the Garden he’s fought in the Golden Gloves, he’s a national champion, he’s a decorated amateur fighter who was part of the 2008 Olympic team. So it’s not gonna be easy for him but we in boxing feel that we’re in for a special treat when we see Miguel Cotto fight against anyone, especially the likes of Sadam Ali.”
On Miguel Cotto’s legacy:
“You know, he’s gonna be considered one of the best. I mean he is the only four-division world champion from Puerto Rico, which tells you a lot because Puerto Rico has had many great world champions like Wilfredo Benitez, and the list goes on and on and on — like Felix Trinidad. So the fact that Miguel Cotto is the only four-division champion from Puerto Rico just - it tells you a lot.
“He’s obviously a sure ballot into the Hall of Fame. He’s a fighter who takes on all-comers, ‘til the very end. He has had a stellar career, he’s been on HBO 24 times, and so I believe Miguel Cotto - I can rank Miguel Cotto, sincerely, in the top 20 of all time.”
I’m certain this will draw some passionate debate, so have at it in the comments below. Is Cotto really anywhere near a top-20 all-timer?
The left hook
Maybe if he retired before Canelo got to him
SRR theres little tape; as a lot of his fights look funny in the lightSRR beats Floyd
SRL beats Hitman again
SRR beats SRL and proves he's the GOAT "Sugar Ray"
.
The left hook
Bread prolly losing his shyt right now.
It's taking all my strength not to become a stan of these dudes. Holy shyt
J rock still barely been heard from since that KO. I know lubin prolly shed a few when he got back home. These are are the type of losses that just eat you up inside. On top of that you gotta deal with your opponent cracking jokes on you while you grieve
Those shirts ain't a Photoshop?
If I was a boxing man; Jrock should face Lubin asapIt is shopped brehs
And not only is it a loss that eats you up internally, they gotta deal with the social media jokes/memes/comments...
If you look at Lubins comments on his last posts
"he aint posted shyt yet, he'll be back when he's done with his nap"
SRR theres little tape; as a lot of his fights look funny in the light
SRL had what it took to take Floyd in a disputed decision but neither fighter would dominate the other....SRL never really had to fight somebody faster than him, we see what Camacho did, so toss up
Hearns is too dumb to beat Floyd.....
There's 10+ videos of SRR fights online....yall just don't watch them
He is/was the GOAT. Footage doesn't lie and he's dominating HOFers in their prime
Camacho fought a washed up SRL...not prime. Prime SRL would've murked that boy.
SRL vs Floyd would be a great matchup and definitely a trilogy fight.
Not only that in general, when we talk athletes from different generations. If they were to come along in a more modern era they might have completely different styles.
They always said SRR was way ahead of his time the way he fought.
I just imagine if he fought in the modern era he would be 10X as good.
Era of 200 fights vs Era of 30-50 fights, yeah the caliber of opponent has to be factored but over 100 KOs too He got more KOs then some boxers have fights.
Athletes these days are just different specimens, SRR whould get his ears boxed off; nobody is standing in the middle of the ring in one spot like cavemans going back n forth....Not only that in general, when we talk athletes from different generations. If they were to come along in a more modern era they might have completely different styles.
