29 Feb.. Where is the daily Mayweather Cotto thread

After a night like last night, I see nowhere else to go but Cotto-Mayweather! David Who? Baby what? Its all about PBF VS Cotto Now!!

 

As Relentless would say 'i have a funny feeling on the tip of my *****' that there could be an upset...

Marg is a non factor is the WW division right now. If he gets some impressive wins against Cintron AND Cotto, then we'll have something to talk about.

 

Height and chin are non factors for marg to beat PBF. He has beaten taller fighters before. Chin, PBF isn't a head hunter. He picks em apart piece by piece. BTW, I appreciate you playing devils advocate in this whole thing, cuz both of us know there is good comp at WW, but none good enough to top the p4p king.

 

I take Cotto over gomez reluctantly b/c i have the sense that Gomez may have a Quintana v PW type night and completely show up. Gomez has taken hits from people at 168. Clearly has the body and fortitude to withstand Cotto's best.

Marg-Cintron, I will say Marg. Just because the first fight probably left a mental scar on Cintron's confidence. It's like gettin beat up by the school bully when you're the new kid, and then fighting him again after you've been on the block a while. I know Cintron has improved drastically, but I think he is still scared of Margs power.

 

I'm glad that the promoters/fighters/managers are taking steps to get the whole WW mess cleaned up though. After the belts were split up everyone scrambled to get their trinket and now we have fighters like Q and Cintron having a title and a claim to be ww champ. atsch I think that PW will get his rematch (if it was claused in) and beat the snot out of Q. Marg will get the belt Cintron has. Cotto (or gomez) will fight Marg. Down the line PW (or Q if no rematch) will take on the Cotto (Gomez)/ marg winner and the winner would have all the belts. Note, if Q doesn't rematch PW and Cotto wins, I expect Q to vacate before he fights Cotto again.

 

If one guy grabs the 3 remaining straps besides the WBC and brings that into the equation for a fight against PBF, then there is the MEGA fight. Unification, Legacy, immortality, rewrite history books, etc. That is the fight I think PBF is waiting for. I think it could happen end of 09

 

There are a lot of frauds to be exposed, so to speak. Fitz, if cotto loses to Gomez do you think the backlash will be along the lines of PW's loss to Quintana? IMO, I think it would be worse, especially losing to Gomez of Contender fame. I can see the headlines now, and I can see the excuse threads a mile long.
