If De La Hoya Couldnt Hurt Mayweather... .. .

It's easy to say someone is going to lose, but expain;:cop: why? My reason is because the only advantage Cotto has is in power. When you really look at it thats not really a advantage because neither PBF or Cotto is a one punch KO fighter. They both wear their opponents down. PBF with the accumulation of accurate punches and Cotto accumulation with less accuaracy but heavier shots. Speed, ring smarts, versatilily, accuaracy, defense, experience, stamina are all advantages for PBF. Intangibles can't be measured until they get in the ring and actually fight. Both have fough through injuries and cuts. So what is there left for me to really believe Cotto can beat PBF? People can talk about Cotto's jab all they want to but Cotto is shorter in height than PBF and has a shorter reach than PBF. IMO that means in order for Cotto's jab to be effective he has to get in range. If Cotto is in range to land his jab that means he is already in range to be hit with a variety of punches from PBF while he is just in range to land his jab. Like I said Cotto can't beat PBF and PBF is going to look very good beating Cotto.

how can anybody claim Cotto punches as hard as Oscar? there's no way you can tell me Cotto has Oscar type power De la hoya could punch even harder than he does, it doesn't matter when he doesn't have enough gas in the tank to fight 12 rounds. Cotto's a work horse. More importantly you have to be persistent enough to hit your target. Otherwise the harder punches don't matter..especially when they stop being thrown by round 8.

What makes you Cotto fans think that he can hurt Mayweather, and on that Note Paulie Maganallie went the distance with Cotto, Mayweather is superior to Paulie. People are on this hype thing to much, gotta stop and look at the reality of this match up. Cotto isnt ready Um... De La Hoya? Really? Did he even make an effort to hit Mayweather? I've searched the records and I don't think Cotto ever fought this fella you refer to, Maganallie... However, Cotto did beat the sense out of a Paul Malignaggi... who in reponse to the viscous beating he received proceeded to run away for th second half of the fight. Now... what this has to do with Cotto (the unquestionable best welterweight fighter out there) prospectively facing Mayweather, I don't know. But I also don't understand ordinary, run of the mill Boxing scene logic. (i.e. (2 + 2 = 5))

Cotto has the tools to beat Mayweather.. He has timing, a steady jab, good pressure and body work, workrate, he's smart, has power, etc.. There's no point in trying to compare opponents in the past.. The only way is to have them fight.. Honestly, I'm obviously a huge Cotto fan (check my sig), but I see Mayweather winning a close decision, but he's gotta fight him now and not wait a few years, because he's gonna need to be on his top game.. If his reflexes and timing slip a bit, Cotto will get him.. I've said in the past, I think Cotto is the one who can beat Mayweather, and Mayweather is the one who can beat Cotto.. They are truly #'s 1 and 2

Plain and basic common sense is knowing that Cotto is gonna lose. It's easy to say someone is going to lose, but expain;:cop: why?

Cotto can only get better & better with every fight he takes...as for DLH, well u know what I mean..i say let Cotto get in there with Margarito & Williams or Andre Berto possibly before Floyd.. Berto could be a tune up before Floyd..

cotto does have a chance of beating mayweather, he's not invincible.. cotto keeps getting better.. bottom line, the fight needs made, it's the #1 fight in boxing that should be made right now, and it's not because of mayweather.. cotto has a chance of beating mayweather, and if he does then floyd won't be as marketable, and he can lose out on millions.. i just hope mayweather doesn't wait until "he feels the fight is relevant".. it needs to be made Cotto has improved very much in the last two years and would give Floyd a very tough fight if not a defeat. After his win over Moseley he deserves the match more than DLH IMO. But DLH can make Floyd at least double the money that Cotto can and Floyd knows DLH's a much easier match for him.

Watch the last 10 secs of DLH-PBF 12th round. Oscar buzzed PBF with about the cleanest left hook he landed in the entire fight and it wasn't that flush. If PBF would have brawled like that in the rest of the fight he would have been KO'd.

1.Cotto is 8 years younger than DLH 2.Unlike DLH, Cotto is on his prime! 3. Nobody have defeated Cotto!!! 4. DLH got KO by B-hop and a then he was inactive for over 20 moths then he fought the human punching bag (Mayorga) and then took a year off before fighthing floyd and when 12 round whit Floyd and still got as close as a Split Decision. 5.Cotto is actively fighting 3 time a year!!! 6.Cotto is southpaw with and orthodox stance and he switch it up between rounds! 7. Styles make fights and while Floyd might have the best elusive style, Cotto is good presure fighter that stalk you and cuts the ring. 8. Cotto have enough power on his hands to KO floyd (more Power than floyd if he decides to stop running and trade punches) 9.Floyd have speed but speed is not all in boxing cuz Judah have more speed that Floyd and still lost to floyd and better yet he got KO by Cotto!!! 10. Cotto does have a jab and can box too! (Mosley fight) 11. Cotto defeated Mosley and a prime DLH couldn't do it and he try twice!!!! 12.Corley, Sosa, and Judah went 12 round with floyd but Cotto KO Corley in just 5, Sosa in 4 and judah in the 11th 13. Mosley still is better than DLH, also Floyd against DLH= Split Desicion for Floyd while Cotto/Mosley =Unanimous Desicion win for Cotto 14. Floyd have a good resume at 130 but at 147 Cotto's resume is better! 15... good shit.. u brought up some good points

Floyd is not an unbeatable fighter, nobody is or ever will be. Eventually every fighter runs into a bad style or has an off night and loses. That's the thrill of boxing.

cotto cuts of the ring better than any body in boxing, he was able to get to paulie, judah and quintanna with no problems and they are all considered fast slick boxers

this guy obviously hates floyd^^^^^^^^^^^ lol judah hit both Mayweather and Cotto but that doesnt matter the fact is Mayweather will beat Cotto, people hate on him for whatever reason but when it comes to the ring he hasnt been beaten, Cotto has been closer to being beaten than Mayweather has but to lesser opposition. You can make a very strong argument that Castillo beat Floyd in their first fight, and that the Oscar fight was closer to a loss for Floyd than the Mosley fight was to Cotto. Corley had Cotto in bad shape, but Cotto came back to stop him. So your statement is somewhat inaccurate. And Cotto has more definitively beaten most of their shared opposition. And the fact remains the fight needs to be made.

and? Cotto was damn near knocked senseless by the same guy, Cotto may be able to hurt him but will he catch him? probably not, Mayweather can hurt Cotto after all every one that connects makes his knees shake, but will mayweather hit him? Probably land half his punches. Don't forget that Cotto was having trouble making 140 and that affected his chin, his chin is much better now at 147. Mayweather's power is good but it's his timing and accuracy that makes him dangerous, I doubt every punch he lands would make Cotto's knees shake.

Mayweather was stunned by Chop Chop Corley after all. and?

Cotto probably doesn't punch as hard as DLH but he's a good puncher nonetheless, DLH couldn't connect cleanly on Mayweather's chin until the last 10 seconds of their fight, who knows what'll happen if Cotto manages to catch him. Mayweather was stunned by Chop Chop Corley after all.

Thread is stupid. The same thing was said a couple of fights ago. If Tzu couldn't hurt Hatton what makes you think Mayweather can? The answer to both of those questions is simple, neither DLH nor Tzu landed clean with there power hands. To think that Mayweather will beat Cotto is fine, actually makes the most logical sense to. However to think that Cotto can't hurt PBF is just plain stupid.
