Cotto has no chance to win this fight at anytime in his career. I don't care how good you thought he looked at 140lbs...
The low blows occurred in round one and three. Judah won the first, and lost the second. Judah was also losing the third and hadn't even landed a significant punch in the round at the time the second low blow occurred, which strayed low partially because Zab cuffed Cotto behind the head while he was looking to go to the body. This content is protected I can understand people debating whether or not the first low blow was intentional or not since it came a little while after Cotto had been stunned. I can't, however, understand the argument for the second low blow being intentional and certainly can't see how it can be looked at as an attempt to "ease pressure" when Zab wasn't applying much to begin with.
I really dont see him beating floyd, he basically has nothing but a chance of hurting floyd and even that's diminished considering cotto hasnt knocked out an elite guy in a long time. cotto has the same dilemna as any other fighter in floyd's area weight wise. try and box floyd, you get outboxed and countered viciously all night, try and bang floyd and you get outboxed and countered viciously, with more frequency.
yep Cotto(e) doesn't have the tools to beat Mayweather. He has an inferior jab, and Mayweather has solved superior jabs in the past. Mayweather would catch Cotto(e) all night with the jab to the body. Miguel's right hand isn't good either. Junito(e) doesn't bring anything in the physical department. Mayweather has seen taller, rangier, harder hitters, physically stronger opponents, quicker speed, thicker skin, better chins, and greater stamina. Cotto(e) at best has more punching power than Floyd. Mayweather makes a short night of it by pressuring Cotto(e). Cotto(e) would be ineffective once he's on his backfoot against Mayweather. THis isn't a one-eyed ******ed margaritoe, Mosley, or emmanuel, Mayweather actually knows how to cut the ring off. Mayweather puts snap behind his shots to make sharp punches that can shred Cotto(e) scar tissue ridden paper face.
I cant see the difference in pre-beating Cotto and post-beating Cotto, I still think he has alot to offer, its not like he has been in slugfests and beatings his whole career is it? to be fair, Mayweather has been in alot more fights IN GENERAL. Cotto has just taken revenge on one of his only losses, imagine if he could beat Mayweather? the guy who many feel would beat Pac (including myself)
Plus Mayweather knows Cotto's arsenal having shared the same gym. Mayweather will come in the fight knowing how to take away everyone of Cotto's best punches. He will most likely force Cotto to beat him with his right hand.
