Floyd outboxes Cotto from the cradle to the grave....at no point in either dude's career would I see Cotto winning....the best Cotto could've done was make it tough for Floyd imo....I wanted to see this fight and still wouldn't mind but it wouldn't be the same as if they locked it up in '08....NOW, who would I have liked to see win?!?....in '08 it was Floyd but NOW...I would like to see Cotto whoop his ass :boxing:
If this fight happened at that point in time, who you got?
split decision...
cotto won't take a knee against mayweather's fluffy fists.
floyd would just run around against them body shots
Cotto would walk him down and destroy him and Mayweather would just watch it happen.
There's a reason Fraud didn't wanna fight him in his prime. He can't deal with pressure fighters and body punchers.
Same reason he's ducking Pac and the same reason he ducked Tony in his prime.
Save that Arum bullshit excuse for the gullible dickswingers.
Jacky you on that shiet again?
This fight should still happen now at 147. A Cotto vs Mayweather match is better than anything Pac has served up since he fought Cotto, and it's a big money fight.
100% Co-Sign. But IDK if Cotto's comin back down to 147. He seems to fit in well at 154, but we'll see how he does against an inactive Mayorga. Should be a rough fight at the begining, with Cotto overtakin Ricardo mid to late. After that I'd like to see Cotto in with El Perro. Now THAT Check is a fight!!!
Well,if U can use Castillo to compare to Cotto,the same can be done about Zab Judah!!He is arguably faster than Floyd & has more power!!He gave Cotto trouble early but Cotto's even greater power & solid boxing skills still overtook his early speed & power!!(Now just in case someone says something crazy,Floyd's stamina is the great equalizer when comparing him to Judah)!!
Not only that but his ring smarts as well.
Floyd is not koing anyone bro
Dont be fooled bruh. Do you know what Floyd's money punch was at that time? It was possible for Floyd to get a stoppage. Unlikely, but possible.
I agree Floyd hasn't fought a body puncher like Cotto or pretty much a single fighter like Cotto at 147. But still, he fought Castillo at 135 who is as good a body puncher as Cotto IMO and although he struggled he dealt with it and got the victory, i also believe the 147 version of Floyd is better than the 135 version.
As opposed to Cotto who has never faced anything like Floyd remotly as well as Floyd does it at any weight. I'm not saying this is why he would win, i'm just saying in the sense of the 'Cotto will beat Floyd because he doesnt struggle with boxers' theory, is not nessercarily true, you know?
I think Cotto brings the best out of Floyd, but Floyd beats him.

Floyd wins a clear but competitive 8-4 decision.
Similar fight to Oscar fight. Cotto would have some success early with the jab and his great timing with it, but soon Floyd would start countering over it with the right hand. Cotto would win some rounds on aggression in the beginning but Floyd would take over.
you forgot to mention Floyd retiring. :nonono:
he was nowhere to be seen then, much like today.
Bradley looks like an alien in that pic......his muscles remind me of young Arnold Schwarzenegger, they actually look alive......
If this fight happened at that point in time, who you got?
Cotto does better than people think because of the left jab, which he times well......though Floyd figures out the correct formula by rd 6 and dominates the late rds.
Floyd knows how to smother the left hook effectively.....Cotto won't land his money punch with regularity or severity, and Cotto's chin is suspect when hit clean, which Floyd will do.
Mayweather 7rds to 5.
Cotto would walk him down and destroy him and Mayweather would just watch it happen.

PBF takes Cotto apart. He just doesn't have the footspeed for his pressure to have done him any good. An in and out attack for PBF gets him a clear decision in that fight. It's too bad it didn't happen because at the time it was a big one.
-Kirby-;9859246']Cotto would lose a one sided unanimous decision. He won't bully Mayweather around the ring. He wouldn't know what to do.
I've never seen cotto bully anybody in a fight.
It should be the other way around, floyd making statements and get under his opponents skin.
Mayweather will beat Cotto's ass worse than he beat Mosely!! Cotto has nothing for Mayweather, Maybe before the beatings he took from Pacquiao and Margarito he would of survivied the whole twelve rounds but know he gets KO!!Cotto is fighting Mayorga people thats how bad he is now and his promoter knows it, thats why he has him fighting bums!!!
Then you otta read the thread before posting. The topic was about floyd vs cotto around 2008.
