Cotto is a very good fighter but I don't think he is ready for Floyd. SSM gave him all he can handle and then some. PBF is at the top of his game and everyone wants to see him lose, mainly because of his cocky attitude. Cotto is not that guy RIGHT NOW. I think PBF figures Cotto out even faster than he did Hatton. He probably wont KO him but he will be battered.

uh, did you see the shots Tua took from Lewis & Ibeabuchi? He wasn't fazed. What makes you think a washed up Tyson could KO Tua? I dont see Tyson beating any significant heavy today. For all of you who say Tua has never been fazed. Take a look at the BIRD fight. Bird almost got him out of there with a body shot. Tua can be hurt and knocked out.

Yea, he caught a headbutt but that right hand wicked. He got caught, no excuses. Do we have to revisit what Holt went through in the last fight? Bottles flying and all that mess. No excuses, Torres was out cold.

Well said. Everyone has an excuse. That right hand ended it, not the butt.

I'm deployed right now with no way of watching this fight. Is it getting ready to pop off?

I voted PBF he just to much for Hatton. I also picked KO/TKO because I think Hatton will take to much punishment trying to get on the inside and the fight will be stopped because of cuts and swelling. I also see Hatton being stopped on cuts. Floyd is too pin point accurate. If Calazo (sp?) was able to outbox him, Floyd will be way too slick. The ref or doctor will end it around rd 9-10.

Mosely is getting older he could still couple of good WW but not the top WW like Cotto. I think Mosely is getting hit to the body so much that he will be easy to get KOed. and Mosely is the type if he get KOed at first he gets easily discourage even when he cant hurt the other person. Cotto is even abit of a poker face to go with the powerful punch How do you know he gets discouraged after a KO? None of us has the answer to that because HE HAS NEVER BEEN KNOCKED OUT. He has only been seriously hurt once.

Cotto does have that mean blow below the belt. He got it from the best " Tito Trinidad". If he gets into trouble, he more than likely will bring it out.

I hope someone keeps us posted on the action. I am currently deployed so this is my only resource at the moment. Round by round coverage please.

This is gonna be an all out war. No one has seem to mention that SSM is a hell of a body banger too. I can't honestly call this fight.

As much as I don't want to pick against Forrest, I have to. Pressure, pressure, and more pressure. Baldy by late TKO.

Everyone hates a winner and as of right now, Floyd is top dog. Today, PWill gives him the most trouble but none of them beat him. Cotto is not quite ready but he is very dangerous. All the rest, forget about it. The future of the division is Cotto. Floyd need to get him now or never. A few more fights and he will eat PBF up.

I guess we are gonna see a Tyson/Spinks type of destruction from Pavlik. I don't think it's gonna be that easy. JT is (officially) undefeated so give the man some sort of respect. Im actually hoping he lay some serious hands on Pavlik due to the lack of respect.

This is a hard fight to pick. If I was forced to make a pick, I got RJJ by dec. Nard doesn't have KO power and even at this stage RJJ is still faster. RJJ is bigger. Nard will have use his rough house tactics and mental game for him to win

Why are so many picking Cotto by KO? Shane has only been in real trouble once and that was with the help of a massive headbutt. I think it's a pick-em fight. I'm looking forward to an all out war.

Ive only seen Pavlik against Miranda and like alot of you, I was impressed. I wasn't so impressed to think that JT has no chance.

lmfao, 160 was toney's best weight. You are correct, the pre RJJ Toney was a beast. Thats why I stated, if in shape.

Toney by decision only if he is in shape. I too thought B-Hop was over rated until the Tarver fight.

I stand corrected. No need to be hostile. For us to be discussing this topic is odd. Ten years ago, no discussion.

I'm sure you misread and he is actually a 3-1 favourite. There is no way Vegas has Roy Jones Jr. as an underdog going into this fight. Especially when he has the Trinidad clash hanging in the balance if he doesn't win. Maxboxing has an article titled 3-1 underdog.

I don't know the details. I only know what the movie put out there. In those times, I wouldn't totally count out racism as a factor. I can't say if he is guilty or not but from some of the previous post, race still is a factor. He is black so without a doubt, he did it. PLEASE.

Cotto would break him... Unless that fight screwed his mentality up in anyway. Cotto would beat him down and stop him IMO. I think he wins too just as long as he is not caught flush. Cotto didn't react to clean shots to well last night. If Kermit catches him clean, its nap time.

Kermit is in need of redemption as is Cotto. The mental game will be the determining factor. Cotto by late KO/TKO

I still have respect for him. He just ran out of gas and QUIT. No shame in that. He will be back.

He doesn't have the mental discipline and mental toughness that Mayweather had, and he has a habit of fading as his fights go on. He should change his trainer as well, Yoel is not a good trainer at all, I think part of Judah's early success was because he was in the Duva camp and got to train and spar with Whitaker. You touched it with the mental game. He has all the physical tools but his mind game is not on PBF's level.

I think it's funny how posters were saying B-Hop had absolutely no chance of winning, better yet, he would get brutally knocked out. My oh my, the tunes are changing now. I'm sure every excuse in the book will come out to justify the landslide butt kicking Pavlik just took.

I agree. I think Marg is just too big for SSM at this point. I would still be pulling for Sugar though.

How will Shane win by UD, or Tko/ko? vote Mayorga is club fighter.

NARD has always been a rough house fighter. He is what he it is. I agree, Wink should have answered back with his own antics. It was obvious the ref wasn't going to penalize anyone. I had NARD winning a razor close decision because Wink tired and got frustrated down the stretch.

Answer me one, for all who predicts a ko. What has given you the indication that a ko will happen? SSM has only been down once in his career and he survived a brutal headbutt/knockdown then. SSM wont be a cake walk.
