As much as fans want this fight, who actually favors Cotto to beat PBF and why?

I pick Cotto by unanimous decision. It's pretty easy to see that Floyd doesn't deal with pressure that well.. at all. Castillo was giving him fits in BOTH fights ( not just the one that Castillo should've won ), and he was also having trouble deal with DLH, who was far from what he was. Cotto is naturally bigger than Mayweather, relies on pressure, and every punch he throws is hard as hell.. when Cotto was jabbing Mosley it looked like his head was about to snap off a couple of times.

 

PBF taps that ass

 

Get PBF up against the ropes - throw volumes of heavy body shots, and his dancing will lessen as the fight goes on - arms will go down too.

If Cotto lets PBF do his slick dance thing, it will be one hellish night for Cotto. Cotto must be in the face of PBF at all times, and have no fear of his "power".

DLH showed some of the way to do it - he just didn't carry it out(according to most people and the judges). Keep hands high, and throw hooks to the body, while cornering PBF.

Who would win in Kinshasa, Zaire?

 

And pressure behind the jab, unlike Ricky Hatton:good

 

I didn't say he couldn't deal with it, I said he couldn't deal with it very well, which he can't. Cotto is a better pressure fighter than Castillo, and Cotto is also a physically bigger and stronger fighter, as well.

 

Void lost the first Castillo fight. If he were to fight Cotto he would get knocked out. Cotto is way too busy and strong for Void, but Void said he will not fight Cotto.

 

As of me writing this the vote is at 15 on one side and 15 on the other side which is how I see the fight. PBF might win but I give the fight to Cotto. One reason, I just like him better but there are others. (1. Cotto's fierce attack to the body., 2) Cotto's stamina, the guy just gets better as the fight goes into the late rounds and Floyd is used to fighters that start out strong but end weak, 3) the accuracy of Cotto's punches which don't seem like much until you see how bad they are hurting the opponent. 4) Solid fighter who can get dirty (when PBF starts with the elbows Cotto will start aiming for kidneys, balls, whatever's gonna hurt). Like I said, perfect match up, nightmare fight for Floyd.

 

All Cotto needs to do is apply pressure every round and Mayweather will fold.

 

I can't see it. Cotto is not gonna fight Mayweather as Hatton did. Cotto will come in from angles not straight lines. You don't think Cotto knows this? The man is the ultimate zen killer death robot Seriously, Cotto is very disciplined, doesn't stray to far from his game, has been studying PBF for some time (no, I don't think him being at floyd's fights was just cuz he was a fan ((remember Leonard being at all of Hagler's fights before they fought?)) Cotto has been preparing for this for years. floyd exposes to much vital organs when he goes into the shoulder roll. You don't think Cotto will aim for these? The guy can crack much harder than Hatton to the body.
