Why is Maxboxing & others trying to make Cotto out to be a monster PBF will avoid?

    Cotto's toughest fight with obviously against Mosley, and it wasw plain to see that he barely made it out of the last 3 rounds. If this had been a 15 round fight (as it should have been) it should be clear to anybody that Mosley would have knocked him out. Having said that, Mayweather's style is much different to Mosley. He is not going to stand in front of Cotto and trade punches, nor is he going to batter Cotto with bodyshots. Cotto's weaknesses as a boxer can be exploited Mayweather, but Mayweather will have to pay a price to achieve the points win. Can he withstand Cotto's body attack for 12 rounds? Personally I think that he can, but we won't know that for sure until we see it.

    Mosley got outboxed by Cotto. PBF would have made him look really old.

    Yeah, just pretend Floyd didn't want to fight Mosley and mosley wanted to go on vacation and get his tooth fixed.

    *Mayweather would never fight Hernandez, especially not in his second year as a pro.
    *Mayweather would never fight Corrales, he has a questionable chin and wont fight a prime pound for pound fighter.
    *Mayweather would never fight someone as strong as Castillo.
    *Mayweather would never fight Castillo again, he'll run from the rematch.
    *Mayweather would never go for a challenge at a third weight class.
    *Mayweather would never go for a challenge in a fourth weightclass
    *Mayweather would never go for a challenge in a fifth weight class
    *Mayweather would never fight an ATG like De La Hoya
    *Mayweather would never fight a prime pound for pound fighter (SEE:Corrales)

    Son . . . son . . . son . . . not because a Cotto/PBF or Hatton fight didn't happen at 140 doesn't mean Arum and Cotto avoided it.

    At 140 Cotto is not AT his best yet and still trying to prove himself. PBF and Hatton has established names already and I don't think these two will risk their names for an up and coming fighter named Cotto. :D

    Now is the time son . . . let's wait and see what Hatton and PBF does because Cotto is ready and knocking on their doors. :yep

    I dont think maxboxing has a damn thing to do with it, but its true. I've been saying it since well before those at Maxboxing ever even THOUGHT to question anything Mayweather. The fact of the matter is Floyd's jumped 5 weight classes and avoided or not fought some of the toughest opposition in each weight class.


    COTTO IS THE STYLISTIC NIGHTMARE FOR MAYWEATHER, not the reverse.:D :yep :good :bbb Floyd has yet to ever PROVE he wants the highest challenges. All he's been concerned with is cash and appearances. He could change that at 47 and doing so requires beating Hatton, Cotto, and the Winner of Williams vs Cintron. He doesnt want Cotto because Cotto can box with him, has better power, and is guaranteed to give Floyd the fight of his life. Cotto's a natural southpaw and thats a stylistic adavntage that makes Floyd cringe internally. This aint Zab "Frontrunner" Judah:nono This is Miguel "LONG HAUL" Cotto who hits harder than Floyd.:yep

    IF Floyd feels differently? To quote PBF himself tell Leonard Ellerbe to "Make the ****ing fight":good

    MAXBOXING is good for hyping up fighters but lets not forget how much hate Dougie Fisher has for Floyd Mayweather ..Lets also not forget how they turned Margarito into the worlds biggest mssg board hype job ..

    Cotto fights too basic to ever beat PBF...stylewise Hatton is a bigger threat to PBF than Cotto...
