Yeah Cotto has power but I just don't see him winning against Mayweather. Cotto has some wide punches and does'nt have the hand speed to get past mayweathers defence and shoulderrolls. He is open in the center which makes him a perfect target for Mayweathers nice counter rights uppercut and really accurate jabs. I cant see Cotto catching Mayweather.
To say that Cotto is better at cutting off the ring than DLH is BS. Cottos Jab isn't as good as DLH's
So I think that if these two were to meeet in the ring I can see it being a 12 round shut out for mayweather.
Cotto's better then dlh, power and at cutting off the ring. Oscar's overrated, people probably judge Oscar by his looks and not his ability. Oscars best wins were over mayorga, and an againg Chavez. Floyd isn't in Cotto's league. The biggest money fight right now for floyd is cotto, but floyds going to dodge cotto and stay retired because he's afraid of cotto's power. He's afraid of cotto's heart.
WOW...thats a big statement, i can understand you not liking a fighter but to say that type of remarks is just stupid...do you seriously think Cotto is so much better than Floyd that he isnt in the same league as him...or are you just exagerating to form a balance that all these Floyd fans have created by saying Floyd is the GOAT?
I totally disagree.
Cotto has arguably the best jab in boxing (Floyd's worst enemy). Shane Mosley even mentioned it in one of the post fight interviews on how hard his jab is comparing it to some fighters right hands.
Oscar's jab was never as impressive as his left hook. If he had used his jab more in the 1st PBF vs Oscar fight though, he mightve won.
Thing is man, cats sleep on Cotto man...And I'm not saying this because I'm a fan, But yo, look at all his fights. He gets better every fight and learns how to adjust as he did with Shane and Zab who were "Going to Out-punch Cotto with Speed".
Mayweather isn't as fast as he is more "accurate" with his punches. Zab Judah is parallel in speed to Floyd but without the patience and accuracy.
Cotto's body punches and jab will cause Floyd to switch it up...and I know for a fact he won't trade with Cotto. I'd even tell him not to do that.
Tellin you man, Cotto's gonna shock the world...give it time

Mayweather would probably beat him in a tough fight. It might be a wide decision on the cards, but Floyd will be in for the fight of his life because Cotto will hit him on the arms, shoulders, anywhere he can.
cant forget to add a few low blows also. by doing so it my slow mayweather down. hell, im sure it will
I think PBF will probably win a 115-113 type of decision, a very close fight. I dont think there will be a knockout if they ever fight. Mayweather is to smart to go toe to toe with Cotto, he will box all 12 rounds. I give Cotto a good chance to beat Mayweather; but if I had to bet, I would put my money on MM.

i don't see cotto or anyone else beating mayweather but cotto does cut off the ring better than oscar does and right now i would have to say cotto's jab is better than oscars
Update:
Mayweather said he was going to retire after the DLH fight then he came out of retirement to fight Hatton. (a jr.welter)then when the media ask him about a fight vs Cotto he says he's taking a 2 year layoff from boxing and a month after he said that, he is fixing another fight with DLH!!! duck duck duck!!!
Cotto would KO Mayweather in 9 rounds, and that's the reason Mayweather don't wan to fight him.
The best welterweight today is Miguel Cotto!!!!!!
floyd doesnt need power to win fights. he sure a hell has enough power to back cotto. this will be a fight of skill and floyds skill level is much better than cottos. he may even knock him down. we all saw cotto get rocked in fights but floyd rarely gets hit.
floyd traded with oscar and made his knees buckle in the 5th rd. this was a man weighing 148lbs to oscars 160+. to say he couldnt hurt cotto is crazy.
in judahs defense, he was coming off a 15 month layoff and a one round fight. if floyd would have fought judah that night and won, we would hear all the hate in the world, no praises what so everyeah, he also stumbled oscra in the 11th and 12th round also.
here it is folks
cotto would lose against mayweather. it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this. cotto has a good jab, but it's not like oscar's jab where it is quick and snaps better. floyd's counter right hand would blister cotto's face the whole fight, trust me. cotto pressures, this is his strongets assest against floyd, not his power, because fighting mayweather, power won't do it, you have to deal with it. floyd's defense is phenominal, from his blocking to his dodging. his footwork is great. his upperbody movement is great. cotto's best chance is, he has no best chance, only a slim chance, and i don't know what that slim chance is. cotto throws good combinations, but floyd mayweather won't let him land on him like zab did, this we all know. floyd is very methodical in the ring. even when it looks like his opponent is being agressive and pressuring right, floyd is the one who is controlling the pace of the fight. it would be no different against cotto. floyd would control the fight, and tag cotto all night in impressive fashion. cotto would need to punch constantly to stay in the fight, floyd wouldn't. floyd has the skill to win fighting a defensive fight with some combos and some potshots and just controlling the pace. cotto would have to control the fight to even think of defeating mayweather, and he would have to do it from round 1 and throw mayweather off. he would have to fight unorthodox to beat floyd. not saying that cotto isn't capable of doing this, any fighter is, but floyd adjusts very well to maintained strategies, not unorthodox ones. cotto would have to look sloppy a bit but still maintain his style to beat mayweather. he won't beat floyd in a boxing match. he won't beat floyd by not throwing constantly. he won't beat floyd by being aggressive but not controlling. floyd is a very smart fighter.
i see the fight ending by floyd winning a ud with some knckdowns of cotto. you guys need to understand that floyd hits harder than you people think. his power is just built around his speed, but when timed right and thrown with a lot of force, floyd hits hard. he wobble and buckle the knees of judah, baldomir, and de la hoya. he could do it to cotto also. cotto could also wobble mayweather. when cotto zones out, he get's relentless, and doesn't stop punching. this is good, an dwould be good to do against mayweather, but when mayweather zones out, he art comes into play, which is why he knows how to beat them all. cotto could throw many punches but get countered and punched a lot by mayweather. mayweather's stamina will never come into play as far as him becoming fatugued. he knows how to train to fight 20 to 25 rounds i'm sure. cotto trains like a madman himself, but his speed, while fast, will be no match for mayweather, and mayweather laid donw on his speed some against oscar and hit him while floyd was flatfooted a lot. floyd has fast snaps to his punches, even while his feet are flat. it would be a huge fight, i'm sure, but cotto would not beat mayweather, i promise you all that.
Floyd would humiliate, and then stop Miguel Cotto.
You saw how Judah was able to land flush with counters when Cotto was walking in right? Floyd would do that ten times better.
Cotto fighting Floyd at this point is almost like Suicide. He should wait for the winner of JLC/Hatton and then maybe get a shot at an Oscar or Mosley.
ay, it's cool that you feel that way. But one thing you might have over looked....Floyd gets in their with dudes that can't move; old, past thier prime. You guys forget that Cotto is like 7 years younger than PBF. Experience can win you fights...but sometimes, the younger, hungrier "STUDENT"...becomes the TEACHER!
Not saying that Cotto will school Mayweather. Just simply saying...
PBF don't want nothing to do with a YOUNG, STRONG fighter.
Floyd doesn't have any power though. Unless, he's on steroids before he fights cotto and adrenaline drugs. I don't see how he can beat Cotto. Zab Judah is stronger and faster then mayweather. But Mayweather is fast, with good stamina. And Zab has stamina problems, and if he didn't he would have beaten Mayweather.
Zab was going to lose regardless of stamina or not Floyd simply figures his opponents out and attacks their weakness.
You're fucking retarded bitch. I apologize for my language, but I only talk shit about people when they call me stupid or say I don't know shit about boxing, when I probably know more about it then they do. You should learn some fucking manners Harlybitch, because you wouldn't talk shit to me like this off the computer so don't fucking talk like that to me on the computer you fucking little bitch. The owner of this website should track harlybitches ip address because I'm sure he has more then one account here. I doubt that his first three post would be so idiotic and attacking other forum members. Who ever the alt account is should be banned.
Did I touch a nerve? But I will ask you again How the fuck can you possibly say that Floyd is not on Cotto's level? It shows that your knowledge of boxing isn't that good or you clearly hate Floyd. Another thing Bitch don't be tough behind a screen there is one too many internet thugs don't need another one.
People are forgeting that Zab is as quick if not quicker than PBF. And in the 2nd rd and 3rd round Cotto was handling that speed nicely.
PBF has better skill than Zab but not better power or speed. Cotto has shown that he was able to handle power that is superior to PBF's and he has also shown that he was able to handle speed that was equal to PBF's.
This means that PBF aint got no Gatti or DLH cake walk here. Cotto since moving to 147lbs has also shown excellent conditioning and great work rate. Combine all that with Cotto's resurrected jab and PBF has his hands full.
It wouldn't have anything to do with power or speed it would have everything to do with timing and accuracy since Cotto seems to get hurt/stunned by shots he don't see coming.

I hope everyone on this site isn't as stupid as you. How in the hell can you say Floyd isn't on Cotto's level? I guess your right he is level's above Cotto.

Agreed.
I would add that Cotto's a good fighter with plenty of potential for improvement, but I don't see him beating Floyd.
Besides, I'm sure Team Cotto will go the route Oscar took, by adding stipulations and what not to try and make it a somewhat even match.
He might even price himself out of the fight, which for dang sure will guarantee that the fight won't ever happen. :boxing:

THIS DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING. ZAB AND FLOYD ARE TWO DIFFERENT FIGHTER.ZABS RING GENERALSHIP IS NOTHING LIKE FLOYDS NOR IS HIS MIND. FLOYD IS A MUCH MORE ACCURATE PUNCHER THAN ZAB AND GETS HIT LESS THAN ZAB ALSO. FLOYD BY POINTS ALL DAY. YOU DONT HAVE TO KNOCK SOMEONE OUT TO WIN. ZAB WENT FOR THE KNOCKOUT EARLY IN THE FIGHT AND TIRED HIMSELF BY THE 4TH ROUND. HE SHOULD HAVE BOXED NOT BRAWLED.

MALINAGGI=BROKEN CHEEKBONE,BUSTED EYE,MESSED UP NOSE.
BRANCO=MESSED UP OR STRAINED SHOULDER,BROKEN CHEEKBONE,MESSED UP EYE.
QUINTANA=HE HAVENT FOUGHT BECAUSE SINCE THE FIGHT HES BEEN HAVING REALLY HEAVY BODY AND BACK PROBLEMS.
I DONT MATTER FLOYDS SPEED OR DEFENSE AND IT DONT MATTER HOW HIS BLOCKING HES GONNA GET HURT LET HIM BE ON THE ROPES AND YOU SEE HIM DROPING HIS HANDS.
COTTO WAS AN ANIMAL IN 140 IMAGINE WHAT HE WILL DO IN 147 AND HE HAS JUST STARTED.:boxing:
