Floyd Not Impressed With Miguel Cotto

[norbak1258]

So by your logic Malignaggi is now on the same level as Floyd Mayweather Jr.? I don't know whether to laugh or just look at you in amazment for such a rediculous comparison. Can Cotto fight slick boxers? Sure he can, on the level of a Malignaggi. Can Cotto deal with PBF right now in his career? NO way, not a snowball's chance in hell.

Cotto could not have beaten DLH on May 5th, no way no how. DLH fought an amazing fight, with speed and defense I haven't seen from him in a very long time. Even at age 34, DLH would still beat 90% of the fighters in his weight class right now.

As far as Tito vs Mayweather, is this a joke? If a faster, better boxer in DLH couldn't find Mayweather, you think Tito would? The things that are said in this forum sometimes amaze me. I don't know if you guys really believe this or you just let your heart blind you, I hope it's the latter. At least I can understand a fan's love for his favorite fighter and convincing himself it "could" happen.

Very interesting point. What is the point? That you can not read . My comment was directed to the person that I quoted. Saying that Cotto has problems with slick boxers and he mentioned malignaggi. He was the one who said look at this fight to see how many problems Cotto has with slick boxers. In my response I pointed out what happened in that fight, nothing to do with Pauli and Floyd. Please show me when I said that Pauli M was anywhere near Mayweather skill level, or that what Cotto did to Pauli would be the outcome between a fight with Cotto and Floyd? Yeap that correct I never said that.

Now when did I talk about Oscar in my post? It looks like once again you are making assumptions out of nothing, so please if your reading comprehension level is not good, don't post. Now if you are alluding to DLH when I mention the 15% connect rate, I was not talking about DLH, I was referring that someone who has problems with pure boxers would connect 15% of their punches that did not happen in the Malignaggi fight. Too what my post was talking and referencing too.

Here we go again, when did I talk about Tito vs. Mayweather? That's correct, I didn't. I think this is a ****** fight, which I more than likely would end up buying at the last minute. Because I like watching Floyd fight.


Now you said "I don't know whether to laugh or just look at you in amazment for such a rediculous comparison" I expect from you to not cry or laugh now when you re-read my previous post, but cry at your lever of reading comprehension and attention to detail, because I never made a comparison. I simply made the observation that Cotto had no problems with malignaggi as he said.

Now, what are my thoughts on Floyd vs. Cotto? I will wait until the Judah fight to say. I like Cotto a lot, but I like Mayweather just as much for different reasons.

Cotto made a response back saying atleast he doesn't fight like a ***** who runs around the ring throwing ***** shots floyd!!! Cotto pwned him.

How did DLH fought an amazing fight when he looked like an amateur because of the ring rust. His punches were wide, looping punches. He thew 0 straight punches in his flurries. His only good punch was his jab and he didnt throw it enough.

Cotto would have beaten the rusty DLH that fought on May 5, he looked amateurish.

Anyone mayweather fights he makes look silly at times. If you think that DLH looked silly then you weren't watching the same fight. DLH defense was the best I have ever seen from him. He was deflecting so many blows from Mayweather it was amazing. DLH did what he could to push the fight, Mayweather was just too elusive.

Cotto beat DLH?? Hold on I'm laughing right now..................... DLH would kill Cotto even at 34 and past his prime. DLH wasn't rusty just fighting the pound 4 pound best fighter in the world. NOBODY has ever hit Mayweather, the guys defense will go down as one of the best ever. Cotto isn't even in the same breath with DLH. Get past Judah then talk to me about fantasy match ups, because thats whats in your head a FANTASY.

cotto would be handled by mayweather, hopefully not as bad as he handled ODLH. i swear to God that during the fight friggin' ODLH looked like tito when he was fighting winky, hopeless; and on a long road to the 12th to recieve a losing decision.

laugh all you want cau and i'm not saying that cotto's elite already, but he looks to be, i'm forecasting here, but ODLH never shows up for elites, never. he lacks the brass and that extra something to close out the show. lets be real here, his only achievement IMO was a good exciting, controversial win over ike. who was never an elite.

a 26 year old odlh i think beats a 26 year old cotto, but a 34 year old ODLH doesn't beat a 26 year old cotto. get real.

Yes please check the malignaggi fight, Broken eye socket, his face was so puffed up that he could berly talk (something wrong with his jaw?), knocked down during the corse of the fight, taking classes from Hatton on the hugging department to stay alive, please watch the fight. Oh and by the way this is Cotto having injuries during the fight.
I will say that Malignaggi had determination, heart and it got him through the end of the fight and gets mad props and admiration at least by me, I would watch him fight again. But when you put a beat down like the on he gave to malignaggi you can not say he has problems with slick boxers. Landing 15% of your shots, and those not beingn effective (half blocked, glancing)classifies you and having problems with good boxers, not the case here.

YES you were making the comparison to PBF because you assumed that if he could handle Malignaggi he could handle any slick fighters. Its in black and white in your quote so maybe YOU need help with English grammar. Also I wasn't referring to you when I mentioned DLH or Tito I was responding to another post by a different person. Thats why I seperated the paragraph to give a different response to a different poster.

Very true, he is flat footed and plods...The thing I like about Cotto is that obviously he is exciting and is fun to watch but I love how the guy can cut the ring off especially with the poor footwork that he has..He always finds a way to get his opponents on the ropes and its exciting to watch. I always get excited for a Cotto fight because of his style despite his limited abilities...Any fighter who can take a punch and keep the distance with the jab and not be dumb enough to trade with him because lets face it he hits like he has steal hands will beat him. That fighter isnt Zab Judah...He gets to caught up in himself and will probably end up getting caught....

Cotto is the man it doesnt matter he is bound to lose someday but he is one of the few fighters who actually bring excitement to the sport and is fairly active despite being a champion...

De la hoya would beat Cotto by ko.
