It may not be finalized as of yet but recent articles indicate they prob will. Also reports of being at Middlewieght limit. I have mixed feeling about this but surely i feel it is the best fight for the balance between legacy and financial impact as compared to Martinez and Canelo. Poll coming up.
Edit: realized polls a bit iffy but oh well. Was discussing with my friends and poll answers are the things which some of them said
happy with the Match Up, it also gives us Bradley vs Pacquiao and JMM vs Peterson, all different matches and matches the fans have never seen before and I am excited for all of them
It's better than Alvarez, but still not a fight I really care about. Cotto will lose a lopsided decision, those that hate Floyd will discredit it, those that love Floyd will act like Cotto is prime again, and afterwards nothing will have changed.
In reality it's nothing more than a decent win, I guess.
You can say that about any of Floyds opponents. Mayweather makes em all look easy and I agree with you that Cotto is tailor made for Floyd...and even 4years ago, Floyd wins easily, imo.
There is a reason why Arum has kept Manny away from Floyd these last few years...
I respect both guys for this fight and it should be good...I think it could be good because Floyd hasnt faced a boxer that does such work on the body...and Floyd is taking the fight at 154...unlike Pac did at 147, when the guy is drained...
I think this will probably be the most skillful boxer that Cotto has faced and we will see if his will can be broken or if he's mentally tough to deal with Floyd's elusiveness...besides the Pac fight, this is the best fight for Floyd. Of course, the Floyd haters will say this Pac's leftovers but Cotto at 154 is a different fighter.
I expect Floyd to win by UD or a late TKO after frustrating Cotto...but lets keep in mind, Cotto does incredible body work and does have a puncher's chance. He does have the weight/power advantage...
Didn't Pac fight Cotto at 145 instead of 147 ??

Floyd aint phucking around. Cotto vs. Mayweather at 154 probably the most marketable fight possible outside of Floyd vs. Manny.
Mayweather proves once again he's the real deal and not a catchweight fraud like Pacquiao.
Awesome news!
i feel like may/pac ****ed me in the ass again, but that it's at least the best option of the available ones. Martinez is just so unlikely and hes also signed for a fight. Pac seems to not want it (and floyd is an idiot for the 60/40 bull****).
It's better than Canelo, Ortiz or whatever else was out there.
For the first time in quite some time I'll get to root against Floyd. That'll be interesting.
i agree
as long we get pacquiao/bradley then im good

As the fight gets close I'll probably even somehow convince myself cotto has a decent shot too! happens everytime with every big fight. Logical thinking goes on vacation for a few days. :boxing:
You and me both, bro.
It's certainly better than Canelo.
I still feel Floyd whoops cotto pretty good, I just can't envision cotto being effective at all against floyd. But I'll watch, I'm a sheep.
Exactly man, we all are. At the end of the day it's a massive event going on in our sport....we're gonna get excited and we're gonna watch it.
