**Requiem on PBF vs. Cotto...**

4. THe Body shots: again PBF the underated body puncher, and he is a great body puncher, but not to the extrme of Cotto's leverage, and iot seems that nothing detract from Cottos incredible leverage, not even speed....

Their about even when it comes to body punching. Floyd's body punching is to underrated he's very accurate with them and he makes them count its a beautiful thing to watch.

I still don't think Cotto is ready for Floyd...he fought a draw with a 36 year old Shane Mosely (I know Cotto won) i think Floyd is to fast and to accurate for Cotto and i can actually see him fustrating Cotto on route to a unamious desicion Miguel is just to slow and to predictable

 

You meant to say: "Cotto".

Your analysis should include a few more line items, including but not limited to:

(1) Cotto leaves himself wide open for the counter right whenever he's on the attack (see the Judah's fight though Judah didn't fully take advantage of Cotto's weakness);

(2) Coincidentally, the counter right is Mayweather's best weapon.

(3) Mayweather's too elusive therefore I doubt Cotto would be able to land the jab the way he did against Mosley.

Mayweather by UD.

 

Cotto's Defense + Floyd's Straight Right = anohter top fighter bitting the dust!

LOL...but to be serious...Cotto is a great fighter. However, the fact that he closes Slow will allow a slow pace and invoke a boxing match. Cotto will definitely try and insert his jab and i think Floyd will counter him often causing Cotto to switch up which he is most capable of but he simply wont be able to close fast enough to force Floyd anywhere...Like every fight though Floyd will allow you to come in close either on the ropes or he will duck in the middle of the ring and come up in your chest...that is where Cotto will have to show Floyd he cant handle him in there....if not then Floyd will start firing solid body shots which will make Cotto think about it and cause him loosen that D up even moreso then it already is. Floyd will then fire a couple body head combos...First 6 rounds may alternate but then i think as always stamina will kcik in and Floyd steps up crazy like with his accuracy and aggression using a wide variety of punches which will keep Cotto off balance....i see this fight ending only in a TKO it wont see 12 rounds......either Cotto catches Floyd or Floyd just overwhelms him with accuracy combined with lack of defense(cotto) and produces a late TKO....the latter of the two is the best choice in my opinion.

 

nah never said anything about Hatton in the post...thats all you my boy. I dont compare fighters.....

Secondly.....Cott's D man no matter how you cut it...is just not good....be it better or not of Hatton's its just not good at all and it is even magnified with a puncher of accuracy.

Now you say Cotto approaches slow deliberately....thats fine i mean its still the same...a slow closing method and this set ups a boxing match no matter what...Cotto WILL not rush in fast like Hatton and this fight from get will be a boxing match.

Cotto can adjust but LOOK how long it took him to adjust to Mosley...PBF adjusts very fast and gives you different looks every round almost including varying the pace of the fight. Fact is Floyd adjusts in mid fight and while Cotto can adjust i think it takes him longer.

SIZE will not matter for Cotto.....he will not land his great body punches and will be force to be a head hunter which will tire him because he will miss a lot. Floyd's str8 rights wil cause him to keep his head low and his gloves around his head leaving his face open to uppercuts that he is so vulnerable to and Floyd will take advantage of it...and his uppercuts are nasty.

I do not discredit Cotto's victory against Mosley however....if you look at the fight Mosley had no D and walked into all of Cotto's great jabs as Mosley was agressor...secondly Mosley hit Cotto almost at will....Floyd will pin point some lighting shots that will hurt and stun Cotto because lets face it my man...Cotto's chin is not strong....a TKO is very possible due to accumulation of punches....Cotto has be knocked down and wobbled too often for you not to think about that chin bein less than par....his HEART makes up for it yes...but his chin is still weak my friend.....but with a closer and accuracy of Floyd's level......i just dont see him making it 12.

 

Hatton who, according to you, was supposed to upset Mayweather?

Cotto is not faster than Hatton. He's certainly bigger and stronger but not faster.

 

I stopped reading your post after that nonsense about Cotto being faster than Hatton.:hi:

 

Again my man...either you dont undersand how good floyd is or you really think what manny says is all world. Im not discrediting Cotto's "effective distance" or whatever.....the fact is it will force the fight into a boxing match. Secondly Mosley and Floyd man....if you are basing his succes off of Mosley fine go ahead it was a great victory but man how Mosley fought and what Floyd will do are night and day and a pace that Cotto allows with that "effective distance" is right up Floyd's alley....i mean it gives Floyd time pick Cotto's D appart or what D he has...yes Cotto is fast but he is nowhere near fast enough for Floyd in terms of reacting counter wise and defensively. If you think Cotto will outbox Floyd....you have another thing comming.

 

why is Cotto more battled tested than Floyd????????????????????? Becaue you get knocked down more or wobbled more doesnt make you more battle tested my friend.

Secondly......i didnt say you said he would outbox him but you keep stating this crazy "effective distance" nonsense which will force this match into a boxing match which to be honest may end up boring because Coto will not apply fast pressure but a slow methodic pressure and floyd well he will be floyd....this will end up being a boxing match regardless and one that Cotto can't win.

As far as that jab.....he used it because thats what Mosley gave him....Mosley stalked Cotto comming in hands low and head high no Defense......in this fight Cotto will stalk all night and that jab will be seen from a mile away.....Cotto is quick but not anything to where Floyd hasn't seen. Mosley fight was a great win but it was a decisive win for him as most having the fight close and some giving it to Mosley......but to me i think that fight could cause some mis perception for Cotto.

 

way to completely ignore the rest of his post
