Judah never DID anything to Cotto

Even though I believe Cotto is FAR superior to Hatton in every category, you still have to look at one underlying point whenever someone signs to fight PBF: How easily can they be hit? Thats almost all that matters. If PBF can figure out a way to hit you, he will figure you out and by rounds 6-8 you will be getting nailed REPEATEDLY by laser accurate punches until you forget your entire gameplan.

Baldomir, Hatton, and Judah (once he slows down) are easy fighters to hit, so PBF hit them very cleanly and discourages them. The only reason Oscar wasnt so easy to hit was due to the size advantage and power. Cotto is a very strong fighter, and one that I LOVE to watch, but Mosely hit him a lot, and he wasnt nearly as active or accurate as PBF would be. Judah's shots rocked Cotto in the early rounds, but he gave up and let Cotto steamroll him. This would NOT happen against Floyd. PBF would be landing his best shots as the fight progressed, which would be new to Cotto. Mosely could have beat Cotto if he threw more accurate punches and if he let his hands go more. PBF would do this and much more defensively and beat Cotto fairly convincingly.


People say that Floyd isnt interesting to watch fight. I think this problem occurs when his opponent can't hang with him. The Baldomir PPV was one of the lamest boxing parties I ever threw. The Hatton fight was VERY interesting and I had a group of 12 or so casual-to-non-boxing fans at my place who were lit up watching the fight unfold. Both fighters being in their prime really made a difference to me and everyone who attended enjoyed the fight much more that Cotto-Mosely (and they were all rooting for Hatton to win).

People also say that PBF wont take the fight because he doesnt want to get "retired" from boxing. Cotto didn't exactly "retire" Mosely now did he? A much older fighter, with worse defense, who has been in many more brawls, with bigger fighter. I dont recall him being busted up beyond repair...

 

Floyd TKO or UD but it wont happen until november '08 after Cotto beats a name fighter.

 

He ain't going to be beating Mayweather.

Mayweather's the best and I hate saying that. He's too quick, too accurate and too smart. He also showed against Hatton that he can be a dirty ******* if he has to be.

 

really, think about it...nobody ever says that judah rocked cotto, except for the floydtoys...

 

Wrong this is one of the many reasons why Hatton lost to PBF. They underestimated his toughness and chin just like you're doing now. PBF can take shots from heavy hitters and has faced many in his career. Chico, Zab, Oscar and Castillo. What the hell are you talking about? He has a better chin than Cotto that's for damn sure. Cotto brings nothing new that PBF hasn't seen or dealt with in the ring before.:deal If you think fighting a past prime Mosley and a head case like Zab proves he can beat an ATG like PBF you're dead wrong.

 

He never said he was..

 

Didn't say he was. But the your argument is flawed.

 

James is the thread starter. :hey

 

Damn. My bad.:yep

 

no zab hurt and cut cottos tongue with a good sharp uppercut in round 1 or 2
and was looking good.

 

what happens when pbf shoulder holds up??...and anyway shots to the shoulder dont get counted...so if he cant do damage there then he will get out pointed and countered to death
