Would Mayweather Jr. ever fight Cotto? If so, who wins?

Just stop it dude. Judah eeked out 3 of the first 4 rounds, then Floyd obliterated him the rest of the fight, walked him down and punished him until like a cornered mouse did anything he could to keep from getting stopped.

Goddamn man, you want a bigger shovel? Ordinary for 6 rounds? :rofl

AFter the 4th round Floyd had landed 2 more punches total and thrown 30 more punches according to compubox. Judah didnt slow down late in the fight, he slowed down early in the fight

Cotto got rocked by Judah and was getting beat up before he hit Judah with not 1, but 2 low blows. As for PAcquiao wiping out Hatton. So what? Floyd had already KO'd him, destroyed his punch resistance as evidence in the Lascano and Malignaggi fights.

Castillo and Corrales perhaps the best lightweights of the decade, both holding considerable size advantages over Floyd not real live threats?

Ok, its official, you're a moron.

 

A fighter with a poor defense, who cuts and bruises easily, who doesnt have great speed nor power is a poor matchup for Floyd?

Hatton was able to close the distance quickly on Floyd. Cotto on the other hand would stay at range and get picked apart. Suffice to say, Cotto is a better boxer then Hatton, but not as good a pressure fighter, and being the former really doesnt help against an elite fighter like Mayweather

 

moreso than against matthew hatton. why not make these fights: cotto, mosley, williams? why be satisfied discussing how floyd "whoops" all of them. why bother with the hattons or whoever else with less threat?

 

his cuts and bruises are due to his opponents who fights him head on. he doesn't have great speed nor power but it's quite good. he could not be stopping his opponents recently because he is fighting the best opposition available. and even shane mosley was rocked by cotto. pac admitted that he was hurt but is trying to conceal it. again, people thinks cotto is overrated because he lost to pac and margo? heck they were the best the weight could offer. if floyd had fought any of them, we will see how good floyd really is as advertised.

cotto had done enough to pressure margo, shane, clottey and pac. i'm sure cotto would pressure floyd. and cotto don't even need to force it since floyd won't fight him head-on. i just don't think that floyd standing his ground would be a good idea against a body operator in cotto.

 

So Judah doesn't have a history mentally folding in big fights?

And yes Floyd did look very ordinary for 4-6 rounds. Pac would have killed him in that fight.

Cotto got rocked a few times, yes just like Floyd got knocked down and rocked by Judah.

Hatton's punch resistance gone? stfu lol. He'd been in way tougher scraps and wars then when he had fought Mayweather.

Great lightweights, who in the minds of any knowledgeable boxing fan, had no chances of winning at all. If those fights happened today would you seriously give Corrales and Castillo any chance to win?

 

Against Spinks and Corley no. Against Baldomir yes. But Judah didnt fold mentally against Mayweather, he got beaten up. You havent seen the fight nor many Floyd fights for that matter, so you arent educated enough to know this. But Floyd broke Judah down, it wasnt like Judah suddenly stopped attacking lol. He couldnt, Floyd was beating his ass

How did he look ordinary in rounds 5 and 6 when he was peppering judah with body shots and lead rights? Seriously why are you exposing your lack of knowledge like this? Are you a sadist?

Judah stepped on Floyds foot and Floyd got caught off balance. Floyd wasnt rocked by Judah, Judah caught him then because of Floyds defense couldnt land another punch while Floyd laughed at him. Cotto on the other hand was visibily shaken. Much like he was against Torres and Corley.

What a stupid thing to say. Tougher scraps, you mean getting knocked out and strafed with vicious right hands for 10 rounds? The only person who beat Hatton like that was Tszyu, as to why Hatton was thought to have an invisible chin till Floyd put him to sleep

Corrales was the favorite in the fight you stupid ****.

Your obviously an extremely dumb ******* who doesnt know **** about boxing, Floyds career or much of anything in general.

See ya. :good

 

p4p i believe Castillo is better

byw floyd is still ***** made

 

Yes, Cotto would give Mayweather a very hard fight. I'm not saying he'd win, and I'd favour Mayweather to eek out a close decision, but it's far from a foregone conclusion.

First of all, Mayweather fights NOTHING like Pacquiao. Pacquiao brings to the table huge amounts of pressure, a shitload of power, an iron chin and fast combinations from all sorts of positions which is almost impossible for a fighter with a conventional defence to deal with. Pacquiao managed to stun Cotto early and put him on the back foot, and then overwhelm him across the rest of the fight. If you think Mayweather has anything like the package to pull that off, you shouldn't be watching boxing.

Cotto has a basically solid defence, decent speed, decent power, and most importantly a solid jab to back Mayweather up and the ability to impose himself and throw combinations that can/will crack PBF's defence. PBF doesn't like fighters like that, with Castillo and past-it DLH all giving him trouble with that kind of fight plan. Cotto doesn't make a load of technical mistakes or leave himself open on the way in, which is what Mayweather is used to being able to exploit against fighters like Hatton.

People will say that Cotto is washed-up post-Margarito. He looked fine to me against Pacquiao: perfectly quick, took a lot of punishment before finally caving in, looked focused and determined and seemed to have the essence of his game together. Maybe he's not 100% the same, but there is ZERO precedent for writing him off at this stage, unless you're willing to take the thinnest and most tenuous piece of evidence as conclusive proof that he's ruined, or if you believe the tripe that that drama queen Teddy Atlas spews out.

Overall I think Cotto is done at 147 as I don't see him beating Pacquiao (obviously) and I think Mosley would probably beat him in a rematch. He doesn't want to fight Margarito and I don't think he could cope with him anyway, since he just hasn't got the tools or experience that Team Mosley did, and can hardly re-learn how to fight at this stage. But he would give Mayweather a tough time of it.

Shame this fight never happened when it should have.

 

Yeah I've seen the fight, and many other Floyd fights, sorry. And so yes, Judah has a history of folding under pressure, everybody knows it. In fact if you watch the Judah-Mayweather fight, Floyd's corner was counting on Judah folding under pressure.

He looked ordinary to me by throwing 1 or 2 punches at a time, many of them missing. He had two punches in that fight basically, lead straight rights followed by a left hook. It wasn't that impressive until the later rounds when, like I said, Judah started to cave in. When Judah was letting his hands go he had a lot of success.

And Cotto went on to dominate Judah and knock him out. Mayweather got a UD. I know which one is more impressive.

lol so your telling me Floyd was Hattons most grueling fight?

What does that have to do with what I just asked you. And since when do oddsmakers represent the most knowledgeable boxing fans. Again, if the fight happened today would you give Corrales any kind of chance of beating Floyd?

Bye. Keep Floyd's nuts warm.

 

Anyone who voted for Cotto needs their head examined!

We have to assume this is post Judah pre Margarito Cotto. With the camp Cotto has now? He would be toast.

 

Money Floyd will never fight Cotto because the man is a legit welter. Easy fights, remember? Miguel Cotto is no question a solid fighter and though not as quick as Mayweather but has the skill and power that could par to Floyd's ring abilities. I think Cotto can take the power and will just walk through Mayweather's defense. Late rounds KO win for Cotto.

 

You must be really bored to come up with this ****.

Mayweather would hand Cotto his arse & anyone that says different should find another sport to watch because they know jack **** about this one.

Ps. the only reason Cotto has so many votes is because the poll isnt a public one.

 

i think Floyd will win by UD.. but im sure he'll make some excuse not to fight Cotto..

 

cotto is overrated, there was no need for floyd to fight him even before he lost to pac. And it would be a complete schooling for floyd

 

If Cotto took up a fight against Floyd at this stage it would be for the money as Floyd would retire him. Just like Pac done to fighters Floyd finished off. Seems to be the thing, fight the two top fighters for a payday and call it a day.
