^^he's trying to fight at Dodgers stadium btw.

^Exactly... Cotto is a big name and if Oscar wants to cement his legacy now's the time.
His legacy was cemented long ago. He is a hall of famer no matter what he does from here on out. He has nothing to prove. He's doing this strictly for money and Golden Boy.

Cotto is a big name and if Oscar wants to cement his legacy now's the time. Fighting Cotto would draw huge numbers and a fight like that would bring out the best in Oscar. I could see this fight happening!
Well after the cotto/mosley fight Oscar was saying how he doesn't think Cotto is that big of a name and he doesn't think he can become a big name like Trinidad, etc. He did also say if he was fighting cotto he would have done certain things differently and could have exploited certain things, etc. so idk

^^I dunno. He was in great shape thats for sure but Mosley has a good chin. I think he's only gone down once in his career.

A lot of shit talking on other boards about Cotto basically taking the last 3 rounds off; people comparing it to TITO v DLH and I agree to an extent, that dissapointed me, cuz I'm a huge Cotto fan. he was winded and was doing circles around the ring and wasting the clock, but one could argue that Cotto was still scoring and Popping shanes head back GOING backwards! His Jab was buzzing Shane (as Shane put it) it ALL NIGHT. and Shane "Dogged the fight"(kellerman) a little himself, as he was clinching a bit excessively and backpeddaled for a round or two.
I was very disappointed with how Cotto came out in the 12th round but other than that I think he got hurt or fatigued in or around the 9th round. I don't think he was simply running around just for the fuck of it or because he thought he was winning, I think he was trying to protect himself because something was obviously wrong and he looked in very bad shape for a couple rounds. I think he did the smart thing which was to box his way out of it. But you're right, even though he was doing circles and boxing he was still landing clean shots.

lmao thats some funny fucking shit!!!

Why doesnt Oscar just piss off and stop acting like hes Gods gift to boxing. Im sick of him lurking in the backgroung saying he 'might' like to fight this guy or 'might' like to fight that guy, as though hes the benchmark that every boxer from lightwelter through to
supermiddle weight should feel privlidged to fight, and as though a fight involving him is by default the most thrilling thing for every boxing fan to experience. Seriously, Oscar needs to fuck off and stop acting like the Darth Vadar of the boxing world. So now that Cotto has beaten Mosely Oscars decided Cotto's a worthy opponent for himself? How noble of you Golden Boy. Lord knows the biggest honour in the sport of boxing is to be in the same ring as you, asshole. And he also 'might' like to fight Hatton if Hatton beats Floyd? Well of course now because Hatton would never be anything unless hes fought you, would he, dickhead.
"When Hatton loses, via UD, he, as the Golden Fishnets, with his legions of OScarsexuals like Beware and Mundo, and Ricky, with his legions of True Brits can still do Buukoo Bucks at the Box Office."

"Fight will PROBABLY be at Staples in September against another "squash" opponent, so OScar can walk away being carried on the shoulders of Joel Jr. and smiling at the cameras, and telling Max Kellerman (Talk about two worthless wastes of humanity speaking under one microphone) how much of a legend he is, as male OScar fans all over East LA pull their pants down, and do one final circle jerk, in tears."

We'll see what happens... I think it will be a good fight no doubt. De La Hoya was probably sittin' ringside thinking to himself that he probably could beat Cotto.

I've never really been a fan of his either and this fight didn't help. I never totally agree with Lederman's scorecards but I felt he had the fight scored correctly by having Santa Cruz up 10 rounds to 2. Not to mention the "knockdown" in the first round, I can't see how the fuck the judges could give Casa any more than 3 rounds. Straight bullshit.
I didn't see the fight but all I keep hearing is it was one of the worst robberies in recent times.

Anyways, saw this today:

WBC orders Casamayor-Santa Cruz REMATCH

A rematch of last weekend's controversial match for the interim title between champion Joel casamayor and Jose Armando Santa Cruz was ordered. Full WBC champion David Diaz will be allowed to make a voluntary defense while waiting for Casamayor and Santa Cruz to settle things and become the mandatory challenger to unify the WBC belts.

That's good news...Decisions like that is what helps fuck the sport up, if they would have gave the right man the nod in the first place we wouldn't be having this pointless rematch. It was so one sided and rather unentertaining that I don't even give a shit about watching a rematch. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see SC get another shot at winning it back, he deserves it. Oh yeah, the Casa that fought over the weekend would have gotten steamrolled by Corrales in a round or two.

Actually, yes, now that you mention it. I thought it was just my cable provider (time warner). I think its ridiculous that the regular hbo fights are in HD and I pay for a PPV fight thats not in HD.

Time warner doesn't currently have a HD ppv channel, nor does direct TV from what my dude tells me.
