How much credit will Floyd get for a Cotto fight May 5th and who do you have winning.

its a decent fight, not one worth a ppv that I'd order...

Mayweather - Cotto will be announced for May 5th in the next few days. How much credit do you give Floyd for this fight and what does it do for his legacy. And lastly who do you have winning? I believe Floyd stops him in the 10th round. Who wants to do some betting? I give FMJ a significant amount of credit if he takes this fight. Cotto is one of the two opponents I wanted to see Floyd take on (Pac being the other, not that interested in Martinez). It's not a prime Cotto by any means, but still a pretty good Cotto. The weight at which the fight will obviously be a consideration too. Cotto to win a close, but gets robbed on points a la Marquez/Pacquiao.

KevinI Kevin Iole May 5, MGM Grand Garden, Mayweather-Cotto on HBO PPV

Poll closes fight day.

Cotto is relying solely on his boxing to beat people now, and he is not out-boxing Floyd. He won't be able to land anything to the body on Mayweather with any consistency either. Smart fight for Floyd - zero risk and big financial upside. If you buy it (or Pacquiao/Marquez 4) then don't complain about the megafight not happening because we are all enabling them at this point.

No credit whatsoever. And if this fight happens, Mayweather will lose a loyal fan in me. I'm hoping your sources are wrong, comedian. Sh!t fight, always has been, always will be. Canelo beats Cotto right now at 154, Ortiz and Berto beat Cotto at 147. I wouldn't even be surprised if Guerrero makes it competetive before getting stopped by Cotto. I'm down for Canelo, Berto-Ortiz winner, or Martinez. If the fight happens, I would 100 percent root for Cotto to win and hopefully retire Floyd. But unfortunately Cotto does not have the tools to beat Floyd, let alone retire him. I will join the Floyd hating parade if this fight happens. Unlike Pacfans, I can not stand any fighter fighting his rivals leftovers, and washed fighters who don't even stand a chance in hell. What makes you think Canelo is a good fighter? Canelo is a guy who had the championship handed to him. A guy who had trouble with Jose Cotto and Cintron who looked like an amateur. Canelo gets has asss handed to him by Cotto. Margarita right now could beat Canelo. If Ortiz beats Berto again you would rather see Oritz-Floyd fight then a Cotto fight? Ortiz is a fighter with no heart and who is a quiter. Why would you want to see that?

I don't think it would be a bad fight, it's not like Cotto doesn't come to fight, but the outcome would be pretty obvious. Now How much Credit you'd give him for the win, would depend on how much credit you give Cotto for the Marg win and his run at jmw so far. I was impressed with the Marg win, but besides that i haven't seen much to tell me he's up for the task.

Yeah man, woops, I admit it, your posts are too deep to understand. Go on now. The past greats did it too! You don't get my post!? Oh man, what a cornball. Nothing deep about it. You're trying to swim through a puddle. The only thing you've manage to do with all that kicking and flailing is create a scene and make a fool of yourself. :lol1:

Wow. You are still crying about that? Let me put it in a way you can't miss: You're point sucks. Hearns, Hagler, Leonard, Duran fighting eachother, you're talking about atg's fighting eachother, all fights taking place mostly when they were all top fighters. Mayweather, Pacquiao, two atg's...fight merely a hall of famer, does not compare to the best 4 welters-mw's fighting eachother in the 80s. I don't care what your true point is. Just don't even mention Cotto along the lines of atg's ever again, no matter what point you're trying to make. I rather have Mayweather, Marquez, Pacquiao and Morales all fighting eachother, and then you claiming what you claimed about leftovers. Merely joking. After reading your post, we can tell who's crying. Just admit it, you still don't get my point. It has taken you multiple tries and you're just as lost as you were earlier today. What a ****ing dunce. :lol1:

It is the most logical fight out there. I just don't see Cotto as that different a guy, I see the same shit as always with him. I can unsderstand not liking the fight, because Floyd should work him but that was always the outcome of this fight today, 6 years ago, 4 years ago or 2 years ago. Cotto is pretty much the exact same fighter he has always been.

I think Comedian is telling the truth. He was the first to report about Joe Frazier's death. I'm taking Comedian's word for it as well. He's been right more than I can remember with his sources. And I just think Cotto is the logical fight to take for Mayweather at this point money wise.

floyd's known for being a hypocrite a lot of the time. He's said alot of hypocritical stuff during his time. It'll be no surprise if he takes a fight with cotto. He'll justify it by saying he's coming off 3 'impressive performances' or 'stoppages'. And the main thing is, it makes money. He's a house hold name, and mayweather-cotto will sell, no doubt about it. I don't like the fight, but i would not be one bit surprised if it's announced this week. b-i-n-g-o.

No matter how any one tries to justify leftovers, Floyd brought it on himself for calling out Pac on fighting his leftovers years after he beat them. Now he's doing the same, and you can't give him a free pass for it. You can name as many fighters who did it, it will not change the fact that if Floyd does this, he will be a hypocrite.

Sorry. I was trying to get under Kev's skin. I made the same point on page 11 or 12, with the rival/leftover thing, even used the same fighters as examples. I was told I'm trying to sound old or something. I'm still contemplating Kev's reply. Wow. You are still crying about that? Let me put it in a way you can't miss: You're point sucks.

I feel like this is a fight that is sort of a missing piece of the puzzle. Its needed to happen for a while. I think (and always have) that Floyd wins very easily, but its still a fight Cotto has earned and would give his all.

I'm not comparing anything...all I'm saying is that Cotto is STILL a credible win....he's not a shot fighter....what I said was the majority agrees that Cotto was Manny's last credible win....since then he hasn't lost any credibility imo....Manny didn't beat the credibility outta him....just the dog sh!t....Cotto still has flavor he's not done just because he'll get beat up by Floyd and Manny.....and his 3 different trainers in his last 4 fights has to play a roll in the way he's performed....like I said, IMO Cotto still has some flavor....his name would taste good on ALOT of resumes atm What makes Cotto a credible win still? Because, of reputation?
