I like mayweather but i think he made a HUGE mistake to opt to fight cotto at 154! Oscar gave maywehather hell and he was over the hill, cotto is technically more sound, he is not shot like oscar and will mayweather pay! I feel this fight would be UD or KO for Cotto!! unfortunately mayweather will have his first loss!!!!! He looked super nervous with his chewing gum! Cotto was cool and calm!:!:
Dude..... Cotto is and never was as good as everybody says. Cotto switched from a technical slugger to a technical boxer halfway through his career. Floyd has been a technical boxer all through his career. Floyd all day and all night.
cotto is not anyone else he has fought!! cotto is cotto! hes not the fastest, but has good feet, tight defence! his only issues is that he doesnt utilise his right hand!! mayweather will be pushed and bullied! pp make it sound like maywheater is the stronger guy, no cotto is the stronger GUY!!
i stoped reading at cotto more technically sound. oscar is and was a better fighter then cotto all the way around.
not sure about being a slugger part!!! he has the tools to make it hard for mayweather, its quite obvious!!!! His loss to margocheato was bs!! his only real loss was to Manny, but floyd is no manny!! styles make fight! castillo won against floyd and got done by hatton!
Cotto is going to get bullied on the inside and out muscled. Just wait and see. Floyd will look stronger and will zap that confidence in the first round of this fight.
I wouldn't favor it but this is boxing and upsets do happen. Body-shot could end it. High pressure style might finally be the key at this stage of an older fighter's career. Shot to the temple. Cut. Fighter having an "Off night"...especially an older fighter. So much to look out for. That's why we watch.
