1st things 1st,much respect to Floyd on the win over Mosley,he showed some serious heart in the 2nd round on!!After being hurt like he was,it was amazing to see him dominate the rest of the fight,period!!
As for Cotto,I didn't think he was gonna be much of a contest for the supposedly bigger & faster Foreman,well he was displaying a great jab & devastating power on saturday!!So basically,if Manny & Floyd can't agree to anything,Cotto is sitting at 154,with superstar creds fighting better than the undefeated version & u know he aint afraid of either,Cotto-Floyd for the title has a certain ring to it,no??
I got floyd winning but I would love to see the fight. I think it has a good chance at being a gread boxing match.
I think dudes are under rating floyds power. He got some pop.
Agreed with this. I have always wanted to see Cotto vs Floyd, would be a great fight. Margarito vs Cotto wont happen, Pac vs Floyd aint looking good, so this would easily be the best fight to make, a bit overdue but better late then never.
The problem with Cotto is that there aren't many things that he does better than Mayweather. Cotto has a good jab, good left hook, and good timing, but those are all thinks Floyd also does well. Meanwhile Floyd also has speed, defense, footwork, and an excellent straight right hand. Cotto does have more of a killer instinct for finishing off opponents than Floyd, but that isn't going to help him much if he doesn't have any other advantages. I just don't see any plan for Cotto that would give him a good chance of winning.
you have to admit it would still be a good fight to see, I think it would be more fan friendly than Mayweather/Marquez and the good thing about Cotto is that he doesn't lose pretty by no means and at the end of the day anybody can be hurt in the ring so I think this fights needs to happen. Should have happened after the Gatti fight (RIP), but I the look on Cottos face said alot during that fight.

Thank you, thats exactly what I was gone put. Cotto is a good boxer he just isnt ready for mayweather. Physically cotto is too slow, his arms are too short, his defense isnt good enough, his footwork cant cut off mayweather, and he doesnt hit hard enough. Before the margarito fight cotto didnt believe himself that he was ready for mayweather.
I want to see the fight so mayweather can show emmanuel steward that he cant come up with a gameplan to beat mayweather so he can stop the hating. But I would hate for it to have be cotto that he proved it on.
24/7 would be FUNNY as SH*T!!!
First of all, Cotto is great at cutting off the ring, and did you say Cotto doesn't hit hard enough?? That's ridiculous. I'm a big Floyd fan, but damn if Cotto caught him flush he would be hurt. For fukk's sake, Corley hurt Mayweather. You guys are underestimating Cotto. He's not some sub par fighter. His jab, timing and strength alone would give Floyd trouble. I thing Floyd would win, but fukk don't disrespect Cotto like that. He'd give Mayweather some trouble for sure.
Floyd would destroy cotto, it wont even be close my dude
You're a good poster Burner, but Floyd wouldn't destroy Cotto. Cotto aint no Gatti (God rest his soul.) Cotto with that great jab and timing along with his strength would give Floyd trouble. Floyd aint invincible. I got Floyd by decision, but Cotto would pose a problem for him.
Cotto takes the tests..with no questions..I say they make it happen..
I got a feeling Mayweather won't fight Pac or Cotto for shit tho..
Exactly. He never will.
Cotto has no chance whatsoever at any time, he's simply not good enough or gifted enough to even be in the ring with Floyd and everytime he gets close to the fight he gets his ass whooped. How come Cotto never called Floyd out? Why did Cotto's promoter call the "Pre-Margarito" Cotto too green for Floyd? If "Pre-Margarito" Cotto was the best version doesn't it speak volumes that his ower (Arum) called him green and not ready? If that was as good as he got and that was too Green then it's not crazy to just assume any version of Cotto gets humiliated Vs Floyd.

I think Cotto stands the best chance to beat Mayweather. Mayweather doesn't know how to defend against a jab. Look at De La Hoya, he was controling the rhythm with his jab. Cotto also has decent defense and when Cotto boxes, he has powerful,fast hands and is good at cutting off the ring and applying good pressure. Cotto also mixes his punches well going upstairs and downstairs. I see Mayweather really having trouble with Cotto's skills.
Floyd would destroy cotto, it wont even be close my dude
He just might,I didn't say he wouldn't,but if Pacman & Floyd can't agree,that's the best fight to make!!Besides honestly,Cotto's win at 154 was a dominant stoppage with Stewart training him!!Floyd's only win was a boring sd over Oscar,they can work wonders over this theory,that's all I'm sayin homey!!
I like Cotto but current Cotto is easy work for Floyd, he's still vulnerable to straight right hands, even in the Foreman fight.
Pre-Margarito Cotto would've gave Floyd many problems.
i agree. good post.
cotto\floyd
I would pay to see it. cotto- strong jab which works against floyd plus strong puncher, knows how to cut off the ring and lacks defence but is trained by stewart now. mayweather- Best boxer in the game, great defense but lacks in the power department which will allow cotto to take chances. i dont know styles makes fights. I still see floyd winning by UD but who knows.
