????come On Guys Lets Get Real Floyd Has A Slim Chance Against This Higly Skilled Dtermined Smart Fighter Who Never Quits And Dosent Stop Attacking Even When Being Backed Up!!!!what Can You Say For Paper Champ Floyd!!!!
Floyd will wait it out long enough for Cotto to lose, then he will claim that there is no sense in fighting him.
common sense in its most plain and basic form
Still Running And Running And Running!!!floyd Wont Even Mention Cottos Name Cuz He Knows The Consequnces !!!
Yh it sucks that Floyd won't call out Cotto who is imo, the best welterweight around. However, Cotto doesn't really call him out, he says hed like to fight him.
I think Cotto should go on TV and say like " Floyd ya pussy ima coming for you! I'll kick your ass pretty boy, i'll bust you up!!"
Then he'll lose.

Where have I heard this before? Oh, I know, I said more or less exactly the same things you are saying about Cotto in a post about Floyd/ Hatton here:

The thing is, I was wrong, and I wasn't the only one. And in this case, I think you are wrong too.
Miguel Cotto is a tailor made Floyd opponent for exactly the reasons you think he will beat him. Just like Hatton, he constantly comes forward, only he's not as quick on his feet as the Hitman, so he won't be able to fluster Floyd like Hatton did early on. Floyd will know everything he is going to do before he does it. Which will be jab, jab, jab, in the hope of working his way in to land some more damaging shots.
What's that i hear you say? Oscar de la Hoya had some success against Floyd using his jab? And Cotto uses his more consistently? Thats right! But wait, wasn't the success of Oscars jab primarily based on his height and reach advantages over Floyd, attributes Cotto does not posses to anything like the same degree? It certainly looks that way to me. Miguel Cotto's jab will be far less effective than Oscar's, so he will be even less able to get close and do some damage than Oscar was, and since Cotto doesn't match Oscar for power...
The reality is this. In a fight with Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto will suffer exactly the same fate as any of the other recent opponents who ever posed an even faintly realistic threat to Floyd. He will find himself unable to get anywhere near Mayweather for the vast majority of the fight, land little, while simultaneously eating right hand pot-shots all night long. He won't get KOd like Hatton did, but thats about the best that can be said.
The simple truth is that so far in his career, success against Floyd Mayweather has been measured in the ability not to get close to beating him, but in fact, to cause him any trouble at all. See the early rounds v Hatton, Oscars fabled jab, Castillo's 'pressure' etc etc. Nice as it would be to see Floyd challenged, or even just see him fight at welterweight, Miguel Cotto is not going to be the man to break that trend. And until Floyd either gets old and slow, or moves up to like 160, no-one else is going to be either.

sure mayweather is not fast and he only throws a single punch at a time so get over his speed factor cotto is younger stronger and better all around fighter than floyd ever will be!!:owned: :bottle:puppetman, please. whoever's controlling this fool's thought process, shame on you.
floyd beats cotto at any weight class. ,uch respect to cotto, he is a great fighter imo, but floyd is a special fighter, one of a kind type of fighter, he is too good for cotto, as far as speed goes, and accuracy goes, cotto is not on floyd's level. floyd is also a better mover and better counterpuncher, not only with his right hand, but left hook and jab also. cotto's counterpunching is not fast enough to catch floyd snug, and floyd's right hand can be thrown as a snapping right hand or a power right, and when he snaps it like a jab, he lands it a lot. as far as cotto's pressure, he is a smart pressure fighter against guys whose defense is suspect and want to bang it out like a judah and mosley, and his power breaks them down, but against floyd, who has the best defense of aLL the ww's, he'd have a hard time catching him too cleanly, and floyd fights very methodically, so he'd catch cotto a lot because his eyes are always snakelike, when he counterpunches, but his defense is always in tact for the most part. cotto holds his hands high to guard his chin well, but he leaves himself open to uppercuts and hooks to the body, mayweather doesn't. think about floyd's defensive stance, the shoulder roll stance where he guards his body with his left and and guards the the left side of his chin with his right shoulder and the right side of his chin with his right hand.
add to this, floyd doesn't throw sloppy punches, and although he hits harder than people think, he knows cotto is stronger, so floyd cannot waste his punches, which he usually doesn't. cotto can look sloppy at times with his punches, which he may have to be to land clean on floyd, because because floyd is too fast on defense. cotto holds his hands high and breaks his opoonents down to the body better than cotto does, but cotto's power is what people look at, floyd is more accurate and throws shots way better than miguel does. and floyd throws a nice uppercut also, which cotto leaves himself open to. cotto has a nice jab which he would have to double up on, but he would have to time it right and have a quick snap on it, because he would have to keep floyd off balance all night, it is veyr hard to look good against floyd in doing this though, which is why cotto loses at any weight, because floyd is too fast, even with his supposed "singleshot" punching.
cotto, i don't see in any way, him beating floyd at all. maybe he'll prove otherwise, but i highly doubt it.
the same way he beat oscar & oscar hits harder, cotto has 2 put nonstop pressure 2 knock u out. then if u put pressure he makes u miss & look like an amature like he did with delahoya, & if u take your time mayweather's speed will kill usure mayweather is not fast and he only throws a single punch at a time so get over his speed factor cotto is younger stronger and better all around fighter than floyd ever will be!!:owned: :bottle:
