Explain how or why you think Cotto would beat Mayweather.

How about you answer my question I posed earlier?

 

The above post is a clear example of a fan that views a fight through biased eyes wheter or not it's an indirect attempt to discredit Cotto for a well fought fight in which he showed versitilty and a sturdy chin, great footwork and avoidance of a shootout when troubled by reopened cut in mouth. What I see is a fabricated justification for PBF's procrastination (not to be confused with avoidance and or fear). After reading the post I chuckled thinking about how warped a mind some people have or better yet how vastly different some people veiw fights. Seeing how utterly opposite our interpetations of the fight game are I will avoid my definition of what took place that night when two great warriors faced eachother to a thin but clear victory for Mr. Cotto. Please forgive me for even thinking Cotto should be considered PBF's sparring partner much less give him an opportunity to be seen in the ring with a true star.

 

Stepping stone ???? He is one hell of a stepping stone to hand
PW his first loss.... Damn there should be more stepping stone boxers like him..... M.R. :bbb

 

Oscar didn't stop using his jab that is something the HBO crew put into peoples head and they start believing it. Compu box stats show Oscar throwing more jabs in the second half of the fight then the first half.

 

????

I'm a hater and a Fanboy now?

 

I'm gonna point out that Quintana is very slick and stylistically poses a huge problem for PBF. Floyd doesnt have Cotto's body attack and without that? Quintana will be there for 12 ask PW.

Cotto proved he can box because Quintana made him miss from every angle and Miguel wisely adjusted the attck.

Whatever Floyd does? Cotto will be there and he knows how to close the gap without being potshotted.

 

Why? You and Fitz will just dismiss any and all explanations that anyone gives. We are merely saying Cotto CAN beat Floyd, not that Cotto WILL beat Floyd. There is an important difference and I am not sure why it is so hard to see. There have been plenty of good responses and instead you respond to one of the weakest posts. Mmmm... actually... now I see why you are a fan of Floyds.

 

the fight will happen ... Cotto needs to be tested a bit more and fight a higher level of competiton.

Floyd has been a champ for 10+ years and has more clout than anyone in the WW division. He's looking to fight, fighters more accomplished and who are more proven. Cotto has to bring more than a paper title to the table before he can get a fight. He's not going to bring alot of fans outside of the the Garden & AC ...

 

DLH hardly used it PERIOD. A jab wasnt the pawing DLH was doing.:nono
Believe me, I was screaming at the TV for him to use it, HBO aint got zip to do with my point.

 

Which subject? And I was responding to your call for more people to give their own analysis, so yes some of this might have already been covered but I was only try to make my opionion fully known.

 

Who was Paul Williams ... he beat Margarito but wasn't proven ... and Margarito wasn't convinced he lost !!

Paul Williams but on a lethargic performance and put himself in the same category as Quintana.

 

STFU!! Cotto has the better 147 resume and he needs tested more? YEAH against the best, where's Floyd?:huh

You're posts in this thread are absolute nonsense.

 

Maybe that was a bit harsh. My fanboyism got in the way. My thing is I don't understand how you figure that the question that needs to be asked is what makes you think Floyd can beat cotto or something of that nature in your post. The thread starter had it right and it was what makes you think Cotto can beat Floyd? (of course you already answered why)

 

ha ha. Yea. That seems about right. Floyd is the man right? Everyone wants to see Floyd. If this was true than Floyd wouldn't have to fight DLH, he would be fighting some bum and still drawing tonnes of buys. That is what DLH would do. DLH has more clout in the WW division. Mayweather knows that although he is very gifted, he still needs another name to bring in the kind of cash he wants.

Of course, your claim that he wants to fight 'more accomplished' fighters is absurd as well. He wants to fight boxers who will look good on his resume so people such as yourself can keep claiming he doesn't have to fight anyone to prove he is still the best.

 

I posed a legit question because you came in here with a comment that is not relevant. My intentions is not to dismiss anyones opinion but debate them and thats why this is a forum.
