fuck cotto and his knack for getting big fights. this is a non fight that shouldn't have been made. i don't give him much of a chance against an actual elite fighter like mayweather.
No, if Floyd loses nobody would care anymore about Pac-Floyd. In addition Floyd's legacy would be ruined without the 0. He knows this that's why he's out facing lightweights in JMM and sucker punching young cats like Ortiz instead of fighting real threats like Martinez or Pac.
Cotto is a good fighter but this fight should have happened 3 years ago for it to be a potential L for Floyd.
Straight disrespecting Cotto and Boxing with ridiculous predictions like this. Cotto might not TKO him by the 7th but it's common sense to say if someone is getting TKO'd it's Floyd. Malignaggi was a runner -- Floyd has stopped using his legs so much and has already said he's going to trade with Cotto. Ndou is built like a fuking TRUCK dude lets be serious. Anyone in the entire 140 division would have went down that night, I just rewatched the fight. Dudes on here post w/o knowing their history. Cotto was not stopping Ndou only because of the sheer difference in natural size, maybe w/o gloves. This dude can't stop Cotto. B/c of him losing a step, Cotto will have an easier time at 154 with this version of Floyd than he could at 140. Even if Floyd isn't hurt, he isn't gonna hurt Cotto either. He hasn't gotten a TKO since Hatton, be real. Keep sleeping, my man got the trainer and cuts off the ring expertly -- Ortiz just jumps in. And he landed 26 power shots without a single effective jab, think about what Cotto will land. They will hurt more than Ortiz's shots did and Cotto won't be getting hit as much. When Cotto gets May in deep waters we're going to see who can hold the punches better. May 5th that 0 will go.
I believe in nationalistic pride but you cant really believe what you are saying... Mayweather would have to get old over night. Mayweather is the only fighter I've seen cause so much ruckus for getting caught(Mosley rd2). Just don't go beating up wife (family members) when he gets outclassed. I promise you Floyd will be the foward fighter. Miguel will be the one backing up, trying to box...
Pac should take the Cotto route if he really wants the fight so bad. It's hard for Floyd to negotiate for someone who
isn't even their own boss.
-Cotto left Arum and the fight was immediately made
-Money split was decided immediately
-Ring size/glove size immediately
-Weight, immediately
Things just happen to get done when Bob Arum isn't around.
I know one thing, if Cotto upsets Floyd...the boxing world gets turned upside down. I like both fighters, but I dont think Cotto has much of a chance against Floyd. Floyds boxing skills will get him a UD.

man i couldnt have said it any better......by the 5th round cotto is gonna realize he cant box with floyd or bully floyd, floyd is stronger than what most think, so from the 6th round on look for it to be a Floyd vs Gatti II with Cotto being stopped anywhere from the 7th -12th (dont think floyd doesnt wanna look better than what pac did)

Bombs LOL...man I needed that laugh. Cotto by 7th round TKO...that is truly hilarious. So by your reasoning, Cotto will stop the worlds greatest defensive fighter and probably the worlds greatest boxer alive today (2nd best if being devils advocate and saying Manny was #1), by the 7th round? So Floyd will get stopped by Cotto, in earlier rounds than Cotto stopped Abdullaev, Branco, Urkal, and a one legged Foreman? So Malignaggi and Ndou could go the distance with a prime Cotto but Floyd can't get past 7 with an albeit larger, but past his prime Cotto? OK lol...well make sure to bet big money on that 7th round TKO ok :).
On to serious posts, I like Cotto and hes a good fighter, has heart...much respect. But by the 5th round, he will probably be target practice in a way for Floyd. I just cannot see Floyd losing to someone who is slower than he is, and who gets hit as much as Cotto does. I think it will be competitive for some rounds but the end will never be in doubt. If Cotto cannot hurt Floyd by the 4th round, he is done for.

The other thing is Mayweather, one of the most cautious fighters in the sport, would have a cast-iron guaranteed rematch clause, his next fight would be Mayweather-Cotto II
So the Pacquiao fight can happen....
It is the only way....
Agree or Disagree?
The fights gonna happen either way...Floyd just wanted to be more active in between fights, and the cotto fight is more activity under his belt
i have no interest in floyd vs pac
for me its the equalivent of two football teams you hate playing at the super bowl
sorry not interested in seeing it and dont really see the need for it ever happening
i rather see cotto beat floyd just because i dislike floyd but mainly because i am a cotto fan

He will try to win but he will lose. Even to the post- Pac version of Cotto. I see Cotto bullying floydina into a 7th round TKO.
You create some interesting female names for boxers. That last one, Juila Cesarina Chevina was pretty funny. I think it was like that.
And yes @ TS, Floyd and Manny both have to lose their next fights to Cotto and Bradley respectively, for the fight can finally happen with no hassle. And Bradley and Cotto take Pac and Mayweather's place for the biggest fight in boxing history, but they wouldn't be able to make the fight either.
Cotto: I beat the better fighter, the true P4P King, I took his 0, you're the 4th fighter to beat Pacquiao. Bradley: Yeah, but you were not one of those 4 fighters. I deserve the bigger share.
