I s/d I would favor Floyd but I could see Cotto beating him. He's gota good style to give Floyd problems. Good jab, good body puncher, crouches low, good combination puncher. He wouldn't be there to be hit with Floyd's trademark left hook. If Castillo can outbox/beat up a the 130lb version of Floyd, Cotto can give the 147lb Floyd fits.
Floyd tends to work the body more with southpaws and I can see him bringing down Williams work rate with counterpunching and hurting him to the body. He beat Zab Judah with body shots and stopped Sharmba Mitchell with a right hand to the stomach
Because Cotto is an expert in nut shots and body slams, so Cotto would throw the two low blows and a body slam which would crumple Mayweather. Roger would storm the ring getting the DQ, and Cotto has successfully swam without getting wet.
Cotto slaughers floyd, it's why floyd ducked the fight in 2008. Cotto is a relentless beast who gives it his all, he's young, strong, smart, crafty. floyd avoids fighters like this and prefers old faded warhourses looking for a payday. like fraud said, He ain't about fighting to prove who is the best. Cotto presents to high a risk, floyd knows what he can handle and what he can't, he can't handle Cotto.
yep I see Cotto studying the Castillo fight just like everybody else and coming in the ring and realizing he's seeing a completely different fighter
Well i think williams beats him because of volume. and until they actually fought thats my opinion on the fight, especially if williams improves his defense, the guy that showed up against cintron could very well get outpointed by floyd, but i never think he will have an easy night against williams.
are you even trying to appear like you know a little bit of boxing? Cotto at no point could beat Floyd..competitive sure...beat Floyd no...way to easy to hit....and although he isnt slow he definitely isnt fast enough to keep shooting his jab for 12 and not get countered more often than not....he has great body work for those who are there and allow that type of work...Floyd most definitely wont be there or allow him those opportunites....again....Cotto is a solid fighter do not get me wrong....but he does not have the tools to beat Floyd at any point of his career. Would have loved to see this fight though.
There's not one of them I'd pick against him, other than Forrest. Tszyu was a great champion and good guy, but Floyd takes his big right hand away and diffuses him imo. Williams freakish work-rate and dimensions should pose Floyd problems. But I see him coming out with a decision. Williams can be sloppy and made to look silly. Cotto is at a speed disadvantage, and has problems opening up cagey fighters. I could see Cotto taking Floyd's shots, but not scoring enough to win rounds. A frustrating fight for MC where he loses by clear decision. Very difficult to pick against Floyd at 130/135. Casa puts up a good show but can't see him winning. Margarito gives Floyd a tough night. Consistent pressure, but he lacks the speed and accuracy to wear someone with as good a defence as Floyd down. Could be a stinker with Floyd on his bike most of the night, but can't see Margs getting to him in the end. Agree with Roger's assessment of Forrest. Gives Floyd big problems with his height and jab. I can see Forrest getting a close decision. Floyd UD's Mayorga. Too smart to get in a brawl.
