The Only Way Cotto Beats Floyd Is To Hurt Him Early

Maybe??

You are underrating Miguel

 

Jose Luis Castillo was not a guy that jumped on you at the bell but he gave Mayweather hell with his technical pressure.

Cotto is the same way, only he's IMO faster than Castillo as well as being bigger and stronger. He does not look to land a single punch that will end the fight. He consistantly applies pressure behind an effective left jab while cutting off the ring and once he does, he puts short, crisp punches together in combination to both body and head.

Ricky Hatton tried jumping on Mayweather, it didn't do him any good. Only left himself open for more of Mayweather's counters, as it showed in the 10th round. Hatton was able to work his way inside, he just couldn't pull the trigger and he simply doesn't have the offensive aresenal that Cotto does and he isn't as well-suited to the weight. Hatton looked worse than ever at welterweight while Cotto looked phenominal.

All these things combined with Mayweather slowing down a little and being more of a pot-shot type fighte at welterweight, Cotto improving and in his prime with a good style to give Mayweather trouble, the more I'm confident Cotto can take this.

I already had it saved so i thought I'd just give my opinion :good

 

Not really. If Cotto shows enough strength and power he can make Floyd fight safe. Then he can works Floyd body and slow him down.

Seriously though, everyone has a gameplan until they actually get in the ring with Floyd.

 

Its not Mayweather's defence that will be the key in this fight, its Cotto's defence. Mayweather is very accurate and will pot shot through Miguel's defence all day long. Cotto won't get a chance to just keep hitting him. You need great footspeed to trap Floyd, like Castillo and Hatton did, and Cotto just doesn't have that. He's got fast hands, but not fast feet.

There's nothing Cotto brings to the ring that Mayweather hasn't dealt with before.

 

There's No Doubt Cotto Can Win This Fight. The Question Is, Can He Get Past Margarito? That's The Real Challenge. Once He Achieves That, If He Does, Then Ist's Going To Be An Easy Road To Atg. I Cannot Really See Any Way In Which Ubf Can Stop A Guy That's Getting Better Day By Day In Cotto. Mayweather Will Not Get Any Better At Welter. His Hatton Fight Has Been Overrated. Cotto Is Not Hatton , He's Not Castillo, And He Is Not Judah , To Whom He Won In A Way More Convincing Fashion Than Ubfloyd Did. My Money Will Be On Cotto , And When Fightnight Comes, I Hope He Will Still Be An Underdog, Easy Money For Everyone!

 

That is a very very similar analysis to what i gave in my thread :good

GREAT POST FOR A LAUGH MANC MEXICAN. GREAT FOOTSPEED LIKE HATTON DID. HAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, HMMMM? HUHHH? R U OK? JUST TO LET YOU KNOW (HERE BETWEEN US) HATTON GOT THE BEATING OF HIS LIFE W/THAT GREAT FOOTSPEED. LET'S HOPE COTTO DOESN'T HAVE THAT SO CALLED FOOTSPEED. HE IS GOING TO WIN CLEARLY AND DECISIVELY , NO WAY AROUND IT ... BELIEVE IT!

 

Sorry, The First Line Was A "quote" Taken From Manmexican.

cotto = elite welterweight

hatton = b level welter.
