Cotto can't beat Floyd ...

From my perspective Floyd is the better fighter. I do think that Cotto would be a better match than Hatton though. I believe that hatton is better at the 140 class. Floyd can be beaten by the right person. I think that Delahoya still has a shot he should have kept using his jab. When he stopped Floyd was able to recover. However delahoya is getting old. Floyd needs to face a strong guy who keeps coming and uses his jab.

 

Cotto was'nt cut from punches against Urkal and Mosley those cuts came from headbutts.

 

AT the time Duran was 71-1 with like 54 KO's. He was WBA/WBC lighweight champion . He avenged his only loss by TKO. Im sure SRL overlooked him :-(

 

i agree mayweather would win ud

 

Fitz, you act like Floyd is gonna be an offensive dynamo in this fight.

This isn't going to be the case. You think he's going to open up like you say he is to hit Cotto?

Beside though, Floyd didn't even wanna get in the ring with Margarito, why would he want Cotto?

It's not gonna happen.

 

You're talking about a body attack? If Cotto survives Margarito, you can STFU about Floyd's "body attack."

Cotto doesn't need to be as fast as Floyd who threw only a handful of combinations against Hatton, and I can't remember him throwing more than maybe 2 punches at a time at most against Oscar.

Can you?

Oh ****.......ya better get the film.

Mosley hurt Cotto with right hands because they were overhand rights, Mosley isn't suseptible to hurting his hands, as Cotto comes in with his forehead tilted down, and Mosley wasn't afraid to open up.

Yeah, Floyd will catch Cotto coming in occasionaly with right hands, but I think Floyd will spend the majority of the time backing up and away from the jab, so when he does throw a right hand it will have little behind it. Of course he's going to hit him occasionaly with a big one, but not that often, and even when he does, he won't follow it up with another punch because Floyd simply does NOT THROW many combinations THUS far at welterweight and above.

Ha ha ha ha.......about who has Cotto fought that resembles Mayweather sylistically. Cotto has fought the best available boxers to him. He's fought Malinaggi, Quintana, Judah, and Mosley. WHAT BETTER LINE UP COULD YOU ASK FOR IN PREPERATION FOR MAYWEATHER?

Slap yourself for that comment. It was unjustified and ignorant. As if an exact replica of Floyd exists that Cotto can fight.

atsch

As far as Floyd's RAPID FIRE combinations, again and again, I have to say that Floyd does not throw many combinations at this weight.

And on a side note, your comparison of this fight to a fight with Hatton is ludicrous at best.

Hatton is more of a mugger rather than a volume puncher with power like Cotto. Hatton rarely commits to the jab on the way in, while Cotto uses it often and has made it one of the most dangerous punches in boxing.

Hatton keeps his right hand down and often lunges foward with the hook. Cotto rarely ever lunges foward with a hook, but if he does, rest assured that his right hand will be glued to his right face. It's where he ALWAYS keeps it.

Hatton looks to hit and hug. Cotto looks to get inside with the jab and then deliver rapid combinations, and despite what some people will tell you here Cotto is much faster than Hatton and almost as fast as Mayweather punch for punch. The differnce is that Cotto throws combinations, and Mayweather doesn't. And trust me, Cotto's punches are hard and FAST.

Yet, somehow, someway, Mayweather is going to turn into a completely different fighter than we're accustomed, (SO FAR), at this weight and become an offensive dynamo capable of cutting right through Cotto's defense and knocking him out.

Man, get a job.

Are you Floyd? Are you Ellerbe?

 

That shits all fine and dandy:yep The sports greatest? Beat the Best! There is absolutely NO DOUBT:nono that PBF vs Cotto would match the top 2 WW's and possibly 2 of the games best, if Cotto beats Margarito. At that point? Its time to PROVE THAT MAYWEATHER PARAGRAPH TRUE:good

Even Margarito? Should he beat Cotto? Is the type of fight worthy of PBF because its on the way to UNIFICATION. Which also includes the Quintana vs Williams Winner in EITHER SCENARIO:deal

Proof trumps SPECULATION and it isnt real UNTIL IT HAPPENS:yikes

 

Thank you Brother. Today these 2 PBF and Cotto are 2 of the 3 fighters I have most time for today. What is there to be said about PBF's magnificent career that has not already been said.

Cotto I like the way he has been putting his work together steadily over the years. If Cotto evenytually fights and loses to PBF it will not diminish him in my opinion as he goes about things the right way. Like Tito Trinidad an excellent remorseless boxer puncher.

 

Margarito is strong and tough but overrated and limited. Margarito is an easy nights work for PBF depending on how PBF wants to beat him up. Cotto has to much versatility for Margarito. Congratulations to Bob Arum and Cintron for making Margarito a 4 time loser look better than he is. Paul Williams would beat Margarito again who got lucky against Clottey.

 

Oh man I could tear this **** apart,,,,but I am just feeling lazy and dont feel like doing it

I will get my .2 cents in when this fight is made and the official analysis threads come out

 

You severely underate Cotto's defence, sure it isn't Whitaker-esque, but he does slip and block quite a few punches. In no way is it 'Non existent'.

About Cotto never fighting someone who is faster then him- Zab, Mosley and a few others were all faster then Cotto and he managed to beat them all. Cotto isn't bothered much by handspeed, he overcomes it with superior timing and his jab.

You also severely overate Floyd's offence at 147, his speed isn't as great as it was and he rarely throws combos. You need a fighter with good pop and who isn't afraid to open up to beat Cotto.

 

SRL of all people probably overlooked one of the greatest fighters of all time......atsch

 

PBF is not unbeatable, past prime Oscar proved that with a split decision, not saying Cotto would win, in fact I would bet on PBF, but Cotto has a better chance than anybody and he just might win. Its boxing, anything can happen and I think Cotto is a very big threat to Mayweather. Floyd is pulling the "I know i am the greatest, so it doesn't matter" Well to the fans it does matter, i am not so sure he can beat Cotto, and if he does it would be a great win for PBF's legacy... If you want to be known as the best you have to take that risk in my opinion.

 

Prime Mosley was more impressive than PFB until his first defeat.
