Cotto vs Mayweather=Gatti vs Mayweather?

funny cause he fought alot of mayweathers opponents, but you hate on cotto lol. **** is a joke

What's next? 2008 Alfonso Gomez was more dangerous than a prime "Chico"? Michael Jennings > Juan Manuel Marquez, maybe?

Well this thread is funny

Lol @ 07 Mosley being better than a prime Castillo. Yeah, some people, makes your brain hurt.

You're only saying this cause Cotto beat him and since you're a fanatic you want to make it seem more than what it is. That isn't a fact, it's an opinion by the way. My OPINION is that a prime Castillo was better than a 07 Mosley. Overall in accomplishments of course Mosley. And I sort of respect your opinion eventhough it comes from a tranny but you're wrong.

My OPINION is that a prime Castillo was better than a 07 Mosley. Overall in accomplishments of course Mosley. I think it's pretty difficult to justify a 07 Mosley being a better win than Castillo in his prime. Mosley of course is the the greater of the two and a better win prime for prime. Then again, on the flipside, if you were to consider Castillo to have won the first Mayweather fight, which many do, then it's pretty damn argubale who is greater. If Castillo was given the nod in that fight he's a first Ballot HOF'er, IMO.

I dont think it will be that lopsided for Cotto. Fight is at 154 not 135 or 140 or 147, its all the way at 154. When Floyd fought Oscar he had minor trouble, but still, trouble nonetheless. Cotto is brilliant at timing: timing opponents movement, punches, and placing his jabs. Oscars jab was doing him some good against Floyd. Imo, if Cotto can establish a sturdy defense, and implement those well timed jabs, as well as applying effective pressure to bully smaller Mayweather around, he has a chance, but thats if he combines all these points in his strategy. And i'd like to point out that I hope some of the other posters on here can appreciate my non-spamming and non-flaming posts, just as I do the others. I'm tired of seeing senseless arguments and opinions without explanations. I wish this forum had more logic and respect than a bunch of keyboard warriors. So for all those of you who post logical and nonviolent posts, I respect you and appreciate your posts. As for all you idiots who constantly spam this forum and make me sometimes not even want to read through the posts just to find a good one, :bryce:

I doesn't matter how many times you deny it. Mosley in 2007 was better than Castillo in his prime. You see I can do the same. :lol1: :lol1:

:lol1: No, I'm really not. I remember Mosley not having a good win for a long time when he fought Cotto. Not that it wasn't a good win, like I stated in my other post, It was a very good win. Still, not better than beating one of the best lightweights of the last era in his prime. No, he wasn't. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat it. Mosley in 2007 was not better than Castillo in his prime. I doesn't matter how many times you deny it. Mosley in 2007 was better than Castillo in his prime. You see I can do the same.

I bet you wouldn't be saying the same thing. You're just letting Mosley recent history corrupt your opinion. :lol1: No, I'm really not. I remember Mosley not having a good win for a long time when he fought Cotto. Not that it wasn't a good win, like I stated in my other post, It was a very good win. Still, not better than beating one of the best lightweights of the last era in his prime. And yes in 2007 Mosley was better, faster, stronger and more dangerous than Castillo ever was. No, he wasn't. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat it. Mosley in 2007 was not better than Castillo in his prime.

http://www.mtlsd.org/district/athletics/cheer/images/cheerleader.jpg come on bro.... When Mosley fought Cotto, when was his last good win? Against Oscar in 4 years prior, and he really should have lost that fight. I'm not denying that Mosley was a good win for Cotto. It was an excellent win, I rate it by far his best win. Mosley's next 2 fights (Not so much Mayorga, but power wise) showed how good the win was for Cotto. And that Mosley still had some left and them some at that point. But it's not better than beating one of the best Lightweight's of the last era in his prime. It's really not.

I look at mayweathers resume and cotto could beat all the guys on his list and vice versa, they have fought four common opponents(Judah,Sosa,mosely,corley) they both were rocked by corley! Cotto stop him the fourth mayweather i think the ninth,cotto stopped Sosa in the fourth mayweather won a decision, judah was stopped in the 11 round by cotto mayweather won 12 decision, cotto 12 decision over mosely same for mayweather. Cotto is the better puncher and more physical offensive fighter. Mayweather the quicker faster defensive fighter. Mayweather had a better corner coming up than cotto did( Floyd senior) But now I think cotto has the better corner! Roger mayweather sucks has a corner man no instructions at all!!! I'm a cotto fan and I hope he wins! It's not going to be easy, but that's why you fight the fights in the ring and not on paper.

No, not really. Prime Mosley, sure. 2007 Mosley better than a prime Castillo? No. http://www.mtlsd.org/district/athletics/cheer/images/cheerleader.jpg come on bro....

Not following. Why would you love to see that? The Mosley that Cotto fought in 2007 was better than the one in 2009. Faster? Yes. More dangerous? No. Better? No. I bet you wouldn't be saying the same thing. You're just letting Mosley recent history corrupt your opinion. And yes in 2007 Mosley was better, faster, stronger and more dangerous than Castillo ever was.

I would love to see if you would have said the same after Mosley raped Cheato. Not following. Why would you love to see that? The Mosley that Cotto fought in 2007 was better than the one in 2009. 2007 Mosleys was as fast and as dangerous as ever and better than Castillo ever was. Faster? Yes. More dangerous? No. Better? No.

No, not really. Prime Mosley, sure. 2007 Mosley better than a prime Castillo? No. I would love to see if you would have said the same after Mosley raped Cheato. 2007 Mosleys was as fast and as dangerous as ever and better than Castillo ever was.

I agree...obviously Cotto is a better opponent than Gatti, no disrespect to the legend but Arturo was never an A fighter..any time he fought someone elite he would get blown out of the water where as Cotto was elite at some point in his career and one more elite fighter beat him the other used plater in gloves. My analogy comes from Cotto being a boxer puncher, so he is probably going to come forward some to apply pressure, but at the end of the day the fight will end up in the middle of the ring with both fighters picking spots to let go of their hands and countering each others punches. Floyd having the faster hands and faster movements will land flush shot after flush shot in Gatti like fashion...is it as lopsided as the Gatti fight, maybe not but it will end up being lopsided.

I'm not talking out of my ass. Seen the fight plenty of time and read plenty of books. A couple of people don't like how I rank certain fights. Has nothing to do with the fight but my personal preference of what a great win is. Boozing in 1980 would be considered what if u know it's not true???

2007 Mosley is by a better fighter than Castillo ever was that's a fact. No, not really. Prime Mosley, sure. 2007 Mosley better than a prime Castillo? No.

Cause Ketchel lost to Jack Johnson and with you it's cut and dry. Surely, since Duran beat Leonard it is a great win so surely JJ's victory over Ketchel is a great one too....right..... Problem is nothing is black and white in boxing and there are things outside of the sport that factor into the greatness of certain wins. SRL and Duran is one of those cases. Yeahhhhhhh, not really. Johnson-Ketchel was an exhibition fight. You know that, right? Stanley Ketchel was a Middleweight. Roberto Duran was a Lightweight, moving up to fight one of the best Welterweight's in the history of the sport. Please, let me know where the comparison between those two fights start. And please show me where I said that if a fighter beats another fighter it means they're automatically greater. Please, feel free to quote me. No, you are mistaken. Some things are black and white in Boxing. Here's one of them; Roberto Duran beat Sugar Ray Leonard in his prime. He was smaller, slower, many claimed was less skilled, no one gave him a shot in hell. Yet, he beat him. Clearly, mind you. You can spout your nonsense about "Ray Leonard not being on his A game" all you want. It's f*cking nonsense. Ray Leonard would have beaten a long list of ATG WW's that night. He simply came up short against the better man, that night.
