Miguel Cotto is a BEAST!

Exactly KOs arent always about power

Ali was considered "featherfisted" for a heavy but he knocked plenty people out.

That said if Ricky hadn't launched himself into that hook he probably would've lasted twelve

this fight is a UD Mayweather but a KO is not out of the question

 

Cotto is a very good fighter, he isnt a beast yet....what prime pound for pound fighters has he kayoed or dominate to recieve that distinction? None

 

All great points, but ive watched cotto(because he is one of my favs) and he has a problem with fighters with speed. Not saying that he has faced a lot of fighters with speed, but like whe he fought paul m, even tho he dominated that fight and had paulie looking like he had a giant jaw-breaker in his mouth, pauli was still able to get off a lot of combos with his quick hands. And cotto gets hit a lot. He indeed is a good class fighter and has great defense but i dont think he can beat floyd. BUT you never know. Cotto tucks his chin and hides behind his gloves and gets real low when he fights, so that will be a enigma for floyd to try and overcome but i think floyds ring smarts, quickness will prove to be frusterating for cotto and he will try and do things that he wouldnt normally do, especially when floyd opens with that straight right and/or quick hook. I think this fight will come down to who can CONTROL THE FIGHT. If floyd has cotto thinking and looking for them signature punches then cotto will have a long night. If cotto can hurt floyd and keep him out of rythm and off balance we could see floyds first loss.

 

I think PBF's biggest challenges are Hatton and Cotto. Floyd disposed of one, and I'd fancy him to do the same to Cotto just as easily.

 

It's hard to disagree with that. :good

 

If he was a beast he would have ko'ed or stopped the 36 year old version of Mosely. Good win for Cotto, but it doesnt make him a worldbeater. Cotto is the future of boxing, just not the best today. I have been impressed with the guy, but he was expected to beat Judah and Mosely, how much credit should he get?

 

Judah and Mosley had those same advantages.
