    It would have been great if Emmanuel Steward was still in Cotto's corner for this fight. Everyone knows that Steward is a bit bitter toward Floyd. It would've been great to see him set up a game plan for Cotto to beat Floyd, I would love to hear the excuses he would make if he weren't able to get it done.

    I actually saw Cotto quit against Margarito gave up against Pac and also get busted up and outboxed by turtle-shell Clottey, Cotto is done, say what you want now but after the fight you'll be saying Miguel is finished...

    He's expected to say that. What the **** do you guys think he's gonna' come out with? "Ey, Miguel, you ****ed, holmes. That ****ing Mayweather, that mother****er gon' cut you up, compadre".

    He's gonna' hardwire Cotto into giving Mayweather only a minimal amount of respect. Enough to be cautious of what he does well, but not enough to make him be in awe or fear him.

    Ortiz would beat the **** out of Cotto, styles make fights and seeing that both are quitters it should be interesting while it last...to all he think Cotto beats everyone between 147 and 154 get off the bull****, Miguel is a sacrificial lamb being led to slaughter, his chances are slim to none, the boy has no heart, Cotto don't wanna see vicious Vic, Canelo, Kirkland, Lara, Trout, Angulo, I would favor them all over Cotto, call it what you want, I will have the last laugh after May 5 when Floyd dominates and abuses Cotto, so remember the name Hitta_squadup, get at me with your excuses after that date...

    Well, if maidana is like margarito who people are saying had a loaded gloves or Pac, then it is legit. He quit against maidana.

    Cotto is done even before this fight, but Ortiz did not even reach that point, and will probably will never will. And even the done version of Cotto is way better than Ortiz will ever be.

    Who did Ortiz beat? None except Berto, who incidentally did not beat anyone as well.

    What the hell!!!!


    Ortiz will never beat Cotto, not in a million year. Ortiz is fragile-minded that quits when the opponent fights back. He is a simpleton Zab Judah.

    You have to concede the fact that Cotto's defensive footwork and balance are nothing like they were when he fought Margarito the first time and Pacquiao. If Cotto starts to circle and starts to treat Mayweather like a puncher, it's unclear how successful Floyd will be. Floyd is great at cutting off a ring, but he does it with short steps and combinations of 2-3 advancing on the front foot. I believe he can be turned and would become overeager when forced to lead. He calk walk someone down, but can he bounce while chasing and match the rhythm Cotto was able to get into in his last fight? Cotto's only going to fade if he's put under extreme pressure and volume; he bounced for 10 straight rounds and only showed average fatigue with no signs of breaking down. In any case, I think there is a question mark as to how well Floyd can walk down a mobile fighter.

    If Cotto backs up against Mayweather he'll lose round after round. When Ortiz tried it he was dominated the entire 3rd round landing 3 punches. No way is Cotto going to have success going backwards. Floyd will pick him apart. Marquez, Mosley and Ortiz got it the worst when they allowed Floyd to initiate. If Cotto tries to box Floyd he'll do jothing but earn a moral victory in losing a wide decision.

    Btw Mayorga landed 50% of his powershots against Cotto. And he spent the majority of hr fight boxing backwards. So his improvements are yet to be seen.

    Mayorga is an awkward ass fighter and I don't buy compubox so there's no point in citing it here; Cotto landed the more effective punches, and that counts more than any human-error prone button counter system.

    The improvements I'm referring to are against Margarito under Diaz. Cotto used lateral movement better than he ever had before, and did so in perfect balance, always in position to punch. You cannot rationally compare Ortiz, who has never been effective fighting backwards in a single fight of his life, to the defensive footwork skills of Cotto, nor can you compare Cotto's condition to that of a blown up out-sized Marquez or a faded Mosley. The styles and abilities of each are just completely different. Floyd may ultimately have success walking Cotto down, but that's no guarantee; Floyd's slow-paced pressure-fighting skills have yet to go up against a mobile fighter capable of turning him.
