I bet if there was a poll for every boxing fan to answer, like 85% would say Mayweather would win. The other 15% are probably Puerto Rican or people who hate Mayweather. Every one knows that Mayweather is the better fighter period. Cotto is to fundamental for mayweather, he has seen his style before but Cotto has seen nothing like Mayweather.
Why is it that the people that think Cotto will win have to be either PR or hate Floyd?
why were the only people that though ricky hatton was gonna win were from england?
Floyd has beaten better competition over a career. Naturally he started his first. Floyd won titles at multiple weights with defenses at some of them. Cotto has not. Cotto's only faced better competition at 147.
and at 140 thank u very much.
Why is Mayweather better than Cotto? Who can possibly say that until they fight each other?
They have both faced a similar level of opposition..

I agree that Cotto has faced the better competition at welterweight but he doesn't have 147 supremacy unless he beats Floyd. And I could say well Cotto beat the "sloppy seconds of Floyd" Judah(also coming off a 1-year layoff), and the past prime Shane "I can only fight one way" Mosley. I put Floyd beating Oscar and Cotto beating Shane in the same category.
Beating Urkal was nothing. Quintana was a good win. Beating Gomez ain't proving shit either.
Well neither is Mayweather fighting DLH. I am not saying that Cotto will absolutely beat PBF, but I am saying that Floyd has NEVER faced a fighter with the hunger, youth, talent, strength, and will of Cotto.
One can make a very strong argument that Mosely is much more credible fighter at this point in his career than DLH, but that is a different conversation.

i would laugh my ass off if Gomez wins, lol the funny thing is he has a punchers chance cuz cottos chin is questionable.
Then I dont think youve seen many of Cotto's fights. I'll ask you a question, which of Mayweather's 147 opponents proved his supremacy at 147? Was it the great Baldomir, the ancient Shramba, was it Zab "KTFO by Cotto" Judah, or was it Ricky "i am absolutely insignificant at 147" Hatton?
Obviously Cotto is the MOST credible opponent at 147 that Mayweather could face, problem is, Mayweather doesn't want to be "retired by boxing".

Floyd's a throwback fighter. He can win whatever the situation. If Cotto want to pressure Floyd can beat him inside. Floyd would tear him apart from the outside. However he wants to lose Floyd would be happy to give it to him. Too versatile.
Funny how Cotto's fans talk more about a hopeful fight with Floyd rather than Cotto's actual fight coming up...
yes and Cottos style is hit and get hit, perfect for mayweather who is hit and not get hit.
Cottos style is better than Hattons but not much difference from what ive seen. Just a chase u down try to land body shots type of style. Mayweather can do it all in the ring and the only way i see him losing to Cotto is if Cotto can somehow hurt him with 1 punch.

regardless what u think it is your opinion ,but to make out people are being biased to pick him is just as hypocritcal as u claiming why do u have to be a Floyd Nuthgger to think he will win ,according to u though u do have to be a Cotto nuthugger to think he wil win or a Floyd hater
u lot are so sensitive it is unreal :bottle: :bottle:
i dont think u do have to be a Floyd fan boy to think he will win ,but by the same token u are basically saying that u do have to be a Cotto fan boy or a Floyd hater to think Cotto will win which is so fuckin
Hypocritical:smashfrea
Floyd maybe more talented but ,but the most talented fighter does'nt always win have u ever heard the term styles make fights

i dare you to find a post claiming that. i DARE you. saying Floyd will beat Cotto is an honest opnion. Saying Floyd SHOULDNT fight Cotto because Cotto hasnt done anything is the opinion of a nuthugger. stop making shit up and man up. and stop being so fucking sensitive.
Exactly what 2501 said.
nope.. Hatton wasnt THE GUY..
he was THE GUY WAY BACK AT 140 DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH...FLOYD DIDNT FIGHT HIM THEN NOR DID HE AT 140. :duh:
Cotto is the biggest threat to Floyd at 147 and that DID NOT BECOME THE CASE WHEN FLOYD BEAT HATTON..that was the case prior or atleast that he needs to fight at top ranked WELTER WEIGHT, in which there were a few in there primes that posed a REAL THREAt AND THERE STILL are, so stop with all this "oh he beat Hatton so now HATERS are mentioning Cotto".. thats JUST STOOID.
wtf wasn't it hatton that didn't want to fight at 140?
who cares.
Floyd is fighting at 147, he is the champ at 147.. to claim he is DUCKING Hatton who couldnt hang at 147 and ran back down to 140 is STOOPID. to claim that anyone who says Floyd is avoiding Cotto is just a HATER and if he fights him (which he WONT) and wins then they will grab another name and say" oh well Floyd is ducking this guy now "..that JUST RETARTED who ever claims that to be the case doesnt follow the sport or know crap about boxing. Floyd was saying he wouldnt fight Cotto before he even fought Hatton. REAL FANS wre saying he needs to fight a top WELTER WEIGHT before he even fought Dela or Hatton.. so shut it.
edit
uhhh wasn't arum and cotto saying they weren't gonna fight mayweather before the hatton fight because he didn't draw as much and they were looking to get a match with odlh?
who cares.

So basically, what you're saying is... Anyone who doesn't share your opinion, on each and every topic, is either "STOOPID" Or "RETARTED"?
