Miguel Cotto is a BEAST!

I think Cotto puts up a fight but will get cought. Sorry, i see Cotto getting KO'd in this fight.

 

by the way if you ever find out who the girl in your avator is, you have to let us know

 

COtto would beat FLoyd by close unanimous or split decision.

 

Great post. I agree with everything you say here. Cotto definietly stands the best chance to pull the upset though. He has proved me wrong time and time again. This fight HAS TO HAPPEN in 08. It has to if Floyd really wants to claim he is the best in the WW division.

 

People should really stop doing this, "If <insert name> couldn't KO <insert name> then there is no way <insert name> can do it." Because boxing matches do end like that, where one gets KO'd by someone with less power and pop then a challenger they faced previously. No one expected Floyd to KO Hatton, because he appeared to have a good chin and took shots from fighters whom many say have more power than Floyd... like Zoo.... who hits way harder than Floyd, only difference is Floyd is super fast and accurate with excellent timing and can hit you with shots you don't see. You can't judge fights like that. After Roy Jones fight at heavy against John Ruiz who has a sneaky right hand, decking Holyfield and almost having him out who has a iron chin, then KD Kirk Johnson, he hit Roy with some bombs in the first round that troubled him but he ate them up and went on to get hit by some more bombs in the fight and wasn't really affected. Then he steps in there with Tarver and in the first fight took all of tarvers shots. I was thinking well Ruiz couldn't KO him and Tarver couldn't do it in the first fight, this will be a UD win for Roy, easy, he can't KO him. Then he gets KO'd in the 2nd round.

Yes it can happen. Torres may hit harder than Floyd, but he is not as fast, his timing is not as good, he is not as accurate, and his shots aren't sneaky. Floyd could easily hit him with something he doesn't see. It's sort of like Pac, a lot of people say Barrera hits harder, but its his speed that is the problem. They can't really see those punches coming, so him having power with that speed is deadly. Think of Chico... he took bombs from popo who hits harder than Floyd, but he ate them up easy without trouble, but gets KD 6 times by floyd and stopped? Everyone figured, if Chico can get stopped by floyd, then there is really no way popo could lose, he will KO him as he can't even take Floyd's shots. But he walked right through his punches.

 

Hand speed - foot work - defense - ring smarts - are all disadvantages that Cotto would have.

The only advantage he'll have is power.

Can't see Cotto winning this fight - but would damn sure pay to see it.

 

You would think Cotto would certianly give PBF an argument , He's just a step too slow though.

Cant beleive there are people on here how dont think hes any good though , he's a total warrior !

 

I'm a big Floyd fan too.. but I think Cotto will give him a run for his money..

 

Cotto's speed is very underrated..

 

I'm sure youre right but compared to PBF he'll be too slow. Like I said though I'm sure he would give him a tough fight.

 

Nah I don't think so man, c'mon floyd knocking out cotto?

Floyd does not have enough power for that, and by accumulation is excluded because cotto has an iron will.

Floyd UD big time

 

Well most people also thought that if Kostya couldn't KO Ricky, then there was no way on earth that Floyd could.

 

Let's not forget that Cotto is the best at cutting off the ring. He is also a great combination puncher. He also has a great jab and can switch stances. He is not as slow as many people still tend to believe. I actually believe his offense right up there with Floyd's. Cotto can fight inside and outside and counterpunch. Floyd is known for his lead right and left hook. Floyd's only true advantage is speed. Because I think Cotto can make adjustments mid fight just like Mayweather can. This fight would be very close. It can go both ways and would be worthy of a trilogy.
