Least excited I've been for a Floyd Mayweather fight since Baldomir

Manny is ducking FLOYD and Sergio is a middle weight with no fans

 

Honestly this is how I feel as well. I will still watch, and I guess it's good Floyd decided to fight him at 154 so he does actually have a win against Cotto on his record, at a weight more suited for Cotto than him. But I don't think Cotto post Margo is such a great win for any top fighter. We've seen how Cotto reacts when facing a better fighter, I'd much rather see how Canelo reacts.

 

Much better fight than Ortiz and JMM. Much better.

 

Well, Cotto had a bad cut early in that fight and Clottey is a pretty skilled fighter himself.

Pac wasn't really timing Cotto, he was just overwhelming him with his speed and punches from all angles.

 

:deal Cotto is good. But he's not been running through his competition making him this super great fighter everyone wants him to be. Cotto hasn't truly impressed me once since the first Margarito fight.

 

Nah, man had that jab timed within two rounds. Every time he threw it he ate a sneaky left

 

Just cause he did it once or twice don't mean he was timing him the whole fight. It was Pac's speed and angles. Both KDs were from a punch Cotto didn't see coming.

 

Could you post it?

 

I too have a very hard time seeing how exactly Cotto is supposed to win this fight, but I think one can hold that position while also believing a fight with Cotto at 154 is better for Floyd's resume than Ortiz, Marquez, and Hatton.

 

Cotto beats all those guys you listed with the exception of Oscar, but that's more due to a styles thing. This is a great fight.

 

But what Mayweather said was exactly true. Canelo is a bit too green. I would have enjoyed the fight, but he would've been picked apart for fighting him now.

Wait about a year and it'll be much more tolerable. Cotto was the next best step.

And we've seen Mayweather deal with a size disadvantage, many times. It's nothing new when that's the only advantage an opponent has over him.
