Miguel Cotto vs Floyd Mayweather @154lbs: Legit Fight?

I believe it is... The stigma that's put on Cotto is that he's shot and worn out and will be picked apart by Floyd to a TKO (which is crazy to me). I favor Floyd, but i truly don't think this is an easy fight for Floyd. It's very legit. It will be even more legit when you see Floyd (a true WW) come in on the official scales at about 151-152, and weigh the same on fight night.

It's legit, but I don't like the fight. And it does nothing for his legacy. It does nothing for his legacy? Zero? Zip? Nilch? Come on. I would rank this win slightly below Pacquiao's win.

yup...i vote yes...will be a lopsided win for Floyd but then again my feelings of Floyd vs anyone is the always the same...Cotto will stand and box with him in the center of the ring...which will result in an arturo gatti like beating... hand speed will play a big part.

Poll speaks for itself

It's the best fight for Mayweather and Cotto. Canelo really sucked. This is way, way better.

100% Legit fight. Cotto is at a strong weight, coming off back to back wins. & Most importantly not weight drained.

meh......as long as its at 154 and not some catch-weight i'd say its legit

It's legit, but I don't like the fight. And it does nothing for his legacy.

yes.........

Anyone with an ounce of boxing knowledge knows this is legit.

I voted no not because of the weight which I think is fine but because I just feel that this is another win for Mayweather at the expense of fans both casual and hardcore alike since we know that neither Mayweather nor Pacquiao will lose until they face each other and quite frankly I am tired of appetizers. good point of view. pacquiao and mayweather and all the tw*ts involved in making the fight NOT happen should be embarrassed. they've both been ducking each other, although i believe pacquiao is the one at it right now, and as far as i'm concerned that takes a heck of a lot away from their standing in the all time lists.

I voted no not because of the weight which I think is fine but because I just feel that this is another win for Mayweather at the expense of fans both casual and hardcore alike since we know that neither Mayweather nor Pacquiao will lose until they face each other and quite frankly I am tired of appetizers. Still I will root for at the very least an entertaining fight and I wish good luck to both Cotto and Mayweather. Anything can happen in boxing................. and I will put my faith in that and hopefully a good undercard Mares vs Darchinyan at the top of my head? Maybe Canelo vs Mosley as well? who knows????

JMM has SKILLS that Cotto lacks...Cotto won many of his fights on the scales...Tony ended that...Pac had the pull to make Cotto come in light. The ONLY reason Cotto beats JMM is WEIGHT... so we agree cotto beats marquez. cool.

Well JMM is better than both Manny and Cotto, it seems. JMM is a straight up stud, nothing wrong with being less than him.

I made this tread awhile ago & it was erased. Maybe because of the realness in it. But yes the fight is legit. No it's not better than Pacman-Bradley,(if that fight is made). Cotto is a real champ in a real weightclass & Floyd does not need silly weight stipulations to fight him. Martinez is the best available opponent for either. A win over him is better than a win over each other. However between 154 & 147 Bradley is the best fight that either could have taken.

JMM is better than Cotto....ask Manny...lol marquez has the style to beat pacquiao but i don't think he could beat cotto. marquez may be the best fighter mayweather ever fought but the easiest style matchup for him. so i guess your right. marquez may be better than cotto overall but i think cotto is far more dangerous for mayweather than marquez was.

Absolutely. Anybody who thinks otherwise is a fool.

Good fight. I see Floyd winning this well, but I also reckon Cotto will give him some uncomfortable moments. If this means Manny vs Bradley happens, then cool, thats a good fight too. Floyd v Cotto is more interesting though.

Well JMM is better than both Manny and Cotto, it seems. Damn straight.

JMM is better than Cotto....ask Manny...lol Well JMM is better than both Manny and Cotto, it seems.
