Cotto vs Mayweather at 147

[Njord777]

Imagine how close Malignaggi made it despite being so much smaller. Now imagine Maywether, a much better boxer, trying to fight a game plan similar to the one Pauli used. Floyd by UD.

Cotto time to grow up after the Zab fight he is fighting p4p statues people hope so or risky contenders.

IMO Cotto proved himself he is the best of contender but it time to grow up and go for p4p stautes like top 5

^^^ thats true right there, time to go for the hardest opponents

[Easy-E]

He couldn't KO Baldomir or glass chin Judah, no way he KOs Cotto...

at 147 I agree with you. Cotto is powerful and a very good figher, but Floyd is just too skilled in my opinion.

yes but it seems that the people who remember the first JLC-PBF fight, forget the second one.

jlc gave him a very tough fight in their first fight, but it seems quite clear from fight 2 that pbf found the solution to those problems.

Yeah but that was at 135 where Floyd was a strong fighter with decent pop. At 147 it's a different story, and 154 even less so. Cotto and DLH are bigger and stronger than JLC. I think Floyd's best weight was at 140 he just didn't stay there long because he went up towards the money (DLH). Again I think if Cotto and/or DLH fight a JLC type fight with them in my opinion being overall better fighters than he is, at these higher weight classes they have the best shot of beating Mayweather.

Ill reserve judgement until after Cotto vs Judah

I agree with you. We need to see Cotto/Judah before making any good judgement. There are two mismatches in this fight, Cotto's a way bigger guy and PBF is a way faster and skilled boxer. I think the real question is would PBF be able to run and stay away from Cotto's body shots for 12 or will it take too long for Cotto to figure how to come in land those shots.

it is definitely true that cotto and dlh are bigger than jlc.

but the pbf's pop at 135 did not play a role in fight 2:

if anything he threw more power shots and "fought more of a fight" in fight 1: that did not work well so he resorted to his "bicycle" for fight 2.

anyway i was just pointing out that everyone and their mothers scream "CASTILLO I" when they want to say here is the plan to beat floyd, but "CASTILLO II" shows he has a plan for that one too

He doesn't need to to win...

Who cares? After DeLaHoya knocks him out, nobody will want to see him anyway......
