Explain how or why you think Cotto would beat Mayweather.

I tend to be off the mind set that the best should fight the best. That negates the rest of this bull****. Cause clearly Cotto is the best challenger to the thrown. Its a pretty simple concept. If you feel otherwise thats your opionion.

 

Please big bro....some assistance for the apprentice PBF fans....have you been reading the thread....classic material.

Say no to drugs.

 

I should bookmark the post...one of the funniest I've ever read on this site.

 

**** man. Don't blame that on drugs. At least not all drugs. . . :rasta

 

If Cotto were to win this fight he'd have to utilize his body attack and set a fast past from round 1. We still don't know how well Mayweather would take those punches to the ribcage because Hatton never got any body punches off in their fight.

If the fight happened I'd probably have to favor Mayweather based on his superior handspeed, his defensive ability, and his power. Mayweather isn't a big puncher but I'd probably guess that he has enough pop to hurt Cotto, who's chin has been vunerable in the past.

 

Oh contraire!! DLH never used an effective jab at all, merely pawed.

DLH actually walked towards PBF and Floyd countered the **** out of him. You cant beat Floyd in that manner.

 

Cotto will sellout or damn near sellout the garden any day but what about everywhere else? The Hatton and Mayweather fight was sold out and the arena was not big enough to hold 20,000+.

And when Mosley and Cotto did 400,000+ ppv number mosley had ALOT to do with that especially when you comapre it to the Cotto-Judah PPV.

 

Cotto has never seen the type of boxer PBF is period. PBF will land on Cotto more than Cotto will land on him due to his somewhat leaky defense. He will take away Cotto's body attack much like Mosley was able to due only worse. After that Cotto will get fustrated like he was in the Mosley fight. PBF is the master of taking away your best weapon an example of this is in the PBF-Oscar fight PBF took away Oscar's legendary left hook, Cotto will be no different. Cotto does create some problems with his cutting off the ring ability but PBF has the superior footwork here. PBF by UD:deal

 

PPV numbers are driven by a fighters success. No one LIKES Floyd for who he is and his numbers WERE HARDLY ANY BETTER than Cotto's pre DLH. Hatton had a lot to do with their numbers as well.

I hate when people try to use PPV numbers as justification. Its the BIG FIGHTS/CHALLENGES that will draw the numbers regardless of the fighters. Best vs Best and the money will take care of itself.

 

Its all well and good to have you're belief. Yet you CANT BE RIGHT until PBF MAKES THE ****ING FIGHT:good

 

Yes he did Oscar stopped throwing it because he was getting countered and PBF's movement.:deal
You're right though, if PBF pot shots and stays on his bike he's damn near unbeatable he could skate to a easy win doing this against Cotto.

 

Your right, some substances may actually help clear the young man's skull of all the fluff.

 

That should have nothing to do with it. Of course that means Cotto's fans shouldn't trump his numbers either. Chance's are neither Floyd nor Cotto is going to draw the same numbers as they would fighting DLH. Cotto doesn't have to draw the same number of fans as Mayweather as that is not what boxing is about. Together both fighters can draw more than either can fighting anyone else worth mentioning. And in this case, assume Mayweather is going to fight Oscar, and the proposed fight will take place in 2009.

People need to stop comparing resume's, attendence, or ppv buys. That has nothing to do with the question that needs to be settled in the ring.

That being said, it is obvious that Cotto has at the very least earned a shot at the title by virtue of being the most likely contender, and would help bring many fans to the match.

 

:nono

DLH's sorry excuse for a jab isnt it. Oscar never threw it effectively so what differnce did that make for him if he stopped? Had he thrown it effectively? He might not have stopped.

Floyd wont skate easily around Miguel, I only hope that PBF shares you're confidence and ante's up to the plate:good

 

Even still wether people like Floyd or not people pay to see him lose. I don't doubt Hatton had alot to do with those numbers but ist the same thin for Cotto and Mosley as well. I am not using it for justification but for merely an comparison to both fighters. Pre Oscar Floyd still did about 350,000 PPV buys with BALDOMIR.

Also as far as your last statment that is not always the case. Look as Marquez vs. Vazquez 3. It was the best fight you can make in that division and they had 3 FOTY canidates. For the type of show they put on they had horrible purses for all 3 of those fights. Money won't always take care of itself.
