This is why Mayweather would beat Cotto.

Except that Cotto is way better then Gatti and Corrales...

Also, Cotto cuts off the ring very well and once he will get PBF against the rope he will punish him over and over again. PBF will win the early rounds until hes starts to slow down a lot due Cotto's body attack and relentless pressure. Cotto will win those later rounds and make it a close fight.

I hope Cotto wins altought my head says PBF will win by a close margin. But in your text you almost state that Cotto has absolutly no chance which is completly false. He will give Mayweather is toughest fight in career.

 

agreed mate. cotto gets same treatment as hatton IMO:good

 

i agree i dunno why people think cotto would win.... theres no way floyd would trade with him it would turn out just like the dlh fight.... jab .. clinch.. run around then get the decision ... cotto wouldnt know what to do an his defense is not as good as DLH so i think he would get hit with some reallly good shots...

 

In hindsight he is way better than Corrales. At the time, Corrales, like Cotto, was unbeaten and destroying everyone he faced. He was a top 5 P4P fighter and favored to beat Mayweather.

But they are very different fighters.

I don't care why he beats him, I want to see him beat him.

 

Basicaly, you say what every Mayweather fan says about a match between him and and other fighter. I don't see anything here that hasn't been said before a million times.

Problem is that Cotto doesn't have as bad a defense as you believe, his chin held up fine against Mosely, and he comes in behind a jab so he doesn't need to find alternative angles to come in with against Floyd.

Point.
Counter point.
And now the circle.

 

So then you believe he is the same fighter. Which means you don't watch carefuly.

 

You aint saying anything new.

 

Blah blah blah

Are you trying to convince us or yourself?

Just get the damn fight on

 

Himself.

 

Yes they are very different, Cotto is a better overall fighter then Chico (RIP) was.

1)Cotto comes to pressure behind is jab, while Corrales never threw a jab of his whole career.

2)Cotto is more versatile. He can pressure and Counterpunch if he has too.

3) We can really see an improvement in Cotto's game in every fight. He was tested over and over again and always overcame the obstacles. Corrales never really needed to improve since he won all his fights so easily. He had talent but he never had to adapt and he missed some experience during The PBF fight.

4)Also, Chico had a really hard time making 130 at this point in his life...

 

But my point was, this is in hindsight. At the time, no one saw these weaknesses in Corrales' game. He had handled everything thrown at him and was on the brink or stardom. When fighters lose, then we suddenly see tons of weaknesses.

I don't have issue with any of your points. Just saying that at the time, no one was saying Corrales couldn't adapt, had more to prove, or wasn't versatile.

 

Cotto knows how to deal w/speed. Watch the Judah and Mosley fights. Chop Chop was fast too. Watch that as well.

TOO MANY PEOPLE UNDERESTIMATING THE BORICUA!!!!!!!!

 

This is a good post. But I will say that while Cotto is the better fighter, Chico was an freak in his division because of his physical stature. Much the same as a Paul Williams, but running through his division.

Cotto is the better fighter, Corrales was percieved at the time to be perhaps the bigger threat. So all in all, its a wash IMO.

 

actually this is the reason
