    post after post why Miguel will give Mayweather trouble, at times you guys have me doubting the outcome and believing the Hype; The truth However Cotto will be lucky not to get KTFO early and ugly

    here are the reasons

    Cotto is slow
    there is only the left side of Cotto to worry about
    Cotto needs to setup every time to throw
    mediocre footwork
    sucker for a straight right
    Cotto tires about round 7
    shitty defense
    if slow as **** Margo can connect what about a fast counterpuncher

    Im hoping Cotto makes it to rd 12 without being embarrassed. I have serious doubts, Hope Im so wrong.

    Amazingly, these are weaknesses that Cotto has always had. However, at one time he was seen as the man to dethrone Mayweather.

    I agree.
    And about the stamina, it also means that whatever Cotto can do to pressure Floyd, it will not be consistent enough.
    Can't see him applaying pressure enough, Floyd will settle in his rythm and UD this one.

    One thing that i think Cotto has for him, is that he's now free of all the negativity and can focus with the handwraps issues vs Margarito circle ended.

    Cotto's not slow, and looked very quick in his last bout
    Cotto's right hand was a potent weapon pre-injury and has been making a strong comeback post-surgery
    Don't see how setting punches up is a bad thing?
    His guard has improved, and keeps his left hand higher
    Cotto didn't tire for the 10 rounds he went in his last fight after implementing a high-energy strategy
    His defense is not shitty; it's underrated and has improved
    Slow as **** Margarito barely landed, and he's bigger, stronger, & heavier handed than Floyd.

    How do you see Floyd knocking Cotto out early? Not even Manny could do that.

    well if Mayweather comes out with something to prove and goes after Cotto like he has hinted he would in stalk mode then it could happen then again this would be good for Cotto who could concievably catch him with something

    do you have any examples for these two? I always thought he was a sucker for the uppercut. Even Cotto's uncle knocked him down with an uppercut.

    Yeh.
    He was handpicked by Pac.
    PBF stole Cotto for an opponent.
    More money plus PBF would be the bigger win.
    He doesnt have alot of fights left.
    He is taking the money.

    And yet Floyd was supposed to be so scared of this man after he beat up Alfonso Gomez so badly. :lol:

    You're not giving Cotto enough credit...I favor Floyd too, but i seriously doubt Floyd stops him early.

    He was seen as the man to dethrone Mayweather, because he happened to be the top ratted contender in Mayweather's weight class. He's never been a serious threat to beat Mayweather.
