Miguel Cotto:Not the Man who will beat Mayweather....

The problem people have with mayweather is he says he's the greatest of all time. He is currently fighting in the best divison in boxing but has not faced any of the top fighters in the division. How can you call yourself the greatest anything win you havent faced the best competition out. He fought an old retired DHL at 154 and a junior WW in Hatton. I mean he just beat a Junior WW and claimed he had nothing left to prove in boxing. Thats like a college ball player saying he is the greatest in the country and then playig the best highschool player to prove it. He's walking away when the competition is getting tougher. he can't live off those victories over Corrales and Castillo forever.

 

Since Castillo, when is the last time Floyd has fought a guy that delivered intelligent pressure?

 

No one like Cotto. But he has the experience and he fought him 2 times.

 

A decision is the easiest way to win. And a win is a win.
if you settle for winning by a touchdown or a field goal.
And yes Mayweather beat Judah for the same reason Cotto beat Judah. No championship heart. There is one difference though. No one points to the Judah win as a sign of greatness for Floyd Mayweather.
People do point to the Judah win as a sign that Cotto is great.
Don't forget Mayweather settles as you would say for a decision with Castillo two times also, and Hatton Knocked him out.
That didn't stop Mayweather from making Hatton look like a rank amatuer.
by the way Hatton may not be comfortable at teh weight but he is still no Zab Judah.
Look at the records and common apponents.
Judah was outboxed by the same man Mayweather is talked down on for beating easily.
So I can't look at someone beating him and assume the same tactics would work with Mayweather.

 

Im not using Hatton as the example here. Hatton and Cotto don't have too many similarities imo. Cotto is the better boxer and more powerful but he doesn't have the foot speed and movement of hatton.

Judah hit Cotto plenty in the early rounds and rocked him a good few times and if he had any kind of boxing brain he would have capitalised on his few successes.

Cotto may use angles and his jab well but his foot speed doesnt match mayweathers and whatever angle Cotto is coming in at I don't see Floyd not adapting to it.

Cotto is not particularly difficult to hit and at this point in their respective careers Floyd is faster, fitter and more accurate than Mosley.

Floyds biggest danger against Cotto is hitting the top of his head and breaking his hand imo.

Cotto's aggression, size, power and skills make this competitive but Floyd takes a UD.

 

147 is whole different universe than 135, and it's been years since that fight.

I wouldn't go as far to say that Mayweather is as unprepared for Cotto as Hatton was for Mayweather because Mayweather knows what he would be getting into.

He knows the revenue that would be created by a Cotto-Mayweather fight, and he knows that he would take a beating the process.

Cotto isn't afraid to get hit like Hatton, and he creates that distance that Hatton was hesitant to do, and he gets there by throwing the jab.

 

Stop revising history. Judah won 3 of the first 4 rounds (not the first half of the fight), then PBF figured him out, adjusted and when PBF started to dominate he CAUSED Judah to lose his composure.

And PBF didn't settle for a decision...he was well on his way to a stoppage by most accounts, before that low blow and disruption. And Cotto is a power puncher. Why is it people insist on making it seem like power punchers should get the nod over boxers when comparing fighters?

 

You haven't seen much of Cotto it seems. Cotto does have a better jab than Floyd. Cotto is naturally left handed, his jab is ridiculous. Cotto doesn't leave himself open as much as some of you guys think. I think it will be much much harder for Floyd to pot shot Cotto than what appears.

 

It doesn't matter what weight....it matters that he knows the style and knows how to adjust to it. Cotto has fought no one like PBF and you will say the same of Cotto.

 

Seen plenty of Cotto. Don't agree with you.

 

The weight doesn't matter?

So Castillo's punches are more effective than Cotto's?:think

 

So cotto's punishing body shots, KO power, relentless aggression mean nothing huh?? Ridiculous. I hope this doesn't become the excuse IF the fight ever happens. I say if because floyds fans know like I know floyd won't get in the ring with Cotto. Not this cotto at this stage. Floyd fans just make excuses as to why.

 

I can't fathom why peole are all over Cotto's jock:huh he's a good fighter, but every fight he is in he get's consistently hit battered and punished, which dosen't make for a very long career, he's slow has a real shitty defense and is very predictable, he was lucky to get the nod in an even fight against a 37yr old past his prime Mosley, where he tired down the stretch.
Floyd's defense would be to hard for Cotto to penetrate, and has superior stamina, boxing ability, speed and would pot shot and counter Cotto all night long..
Cotto would take an ass whuppin in this one and KO'D late..
