**Ok..convince me on how PBF would defeat Cotto?**

PBF would win by punching Cotto in the face. Lots.

 

Cotto is a good fighter.
Lets see what he does with Gomez who is also pretty dam good.

 

what we know of both fighters is floyd throughout his whole career (atleast what ive seen) always brings his A+ game ... meaning NO MISTAKES for the most part
cotto always comes tough but is far from perfect...

currect but the only time mosley ate punches is when he stayed infront of cotto... when he moved around and stayed on his feet cotto didnt hit him with anything serious





with that being said IM a floyd fan but also like cotto as well.. if floyd didnt exist cotto would prolly be my favorite boxer... as soon as i saw cotto box i thought he would beat floyd... but after reading some of this people make good points.. to try to keep it short.. when shane boxed cotto and was in rhythm he didnt have much trouble with cotto ( even tho he lost he wasnt comfortable for much of the fight in my eyes ) zab broke into cotto with his speed (but couldnt maintain the pace or even have the discipline to box effectively) so what we do know of floyd is he has both factors that left boxers similar to him successful and where those 2 boxers failed he wont (floyd will box cotto we all know that, and floyd WILL Maintain pace he has his whole career) atleast based on his history...


as for cotto all the intangibles of this fight lay with him....

WILL HE HIT FLOYD = nobody usually does effectively
WILL HE ABLE TO PRESSURE PROPERLY= nobody has up to this point from what ive seen
DO YOU THINK COTTO WILL FIGURE OUT FLOYDS RHYTHM= nobody has up to this point from what ive seen
WILL HE CRACK FLOYD DEFENSE= who has up to this point?

for cotto to win all these questions would have to be answered yes. and these are things floyd has proved that he is so successful at throughout his whole career

like i said before i used to think cotto had exactly whats necessary to beat floyd... but after thinking about it i dont know.. floyd is so ****ing perfect (no nuthugging but jesus you gotta admit the guys amazing) on defense and effective on offense... cotto COULD really struggle then again he could tear floyd up.... based on both fighters history you have to give floyd the edge

after typing this rant
i started 60-40 for cotto
now im 60-40 floyd.... maybe even 70-30

floyd wins ud by 3-4 rounds

 

Cotto's style is tailor made for Mayweather's style. He is a come forward pressure fighter who breaks his opponents down with his tremendous power and well placed accurate punches. However, he gets hit way too often. This spells doom for any opponent of Mayweather. Mayweather is by far the most accurate scientific puncher in the sport right now and he will make Cotto pay. Cotto's power will be offset by Mayweather's quick jab and counterpunching. To give you a much clearer picture just remember how Mosley and Judah were able to land on Cotto but add superior defense and lightning quick accurate counter shots and you have Mayweather vs Cotto. Mayweather will outbox Cotto for 12 straight rounds resulting in a UD.
Convinced?
