Cotto Vs Mayweather @ 147

[borikua]

Floyd by D. But Cotto would give him a hell of a fight, and Floyd would get mad props for fighting a young champ like Cotto...

I'm hoping that Cotto busts Margarito's ass next though.

Paul Williams is determined to win. He will win that fight, he has alot of leverage behind his long arms and you can't see his arms coming all the time if he does wide shots at a good speed.

Right now I think, like someone mentioned, Mayweather would puzzle Cotto although it would be a very good fight. I would pick Mayweather by UD, I think Cotto would get very frustrated and unlike Zab, Mayweather has the will to keep throwing and in his game plan even after taking a few good shots.

Although Cotto was very impressive last night, Zab Judah and Floyd Mayweather are two very different fighters. Zab may be faster and is a harder puncher than Floyd but lacks the mental focus/acumen and defense of Mayweather. I saw multiple times that Judah could have countered Cotto and he simply did not pull the trigger. I think Mayweather wins a UD or TKO on cuts a la Gatti. Cotto just gets hit too much for an accurate puncher with good defense like Mayweather. I think it would be quite entertaining and competitive though. Also the ring last night was small if Cotto fights Mayweather figure there will be a lot more room to maneuver.

Good post, I totally agree with you on Zab not pulling the trigger. Cotto was open all night for the straight counter left and for some reason Zab wouldn't let his hands go. Cotto would definately be a tough opponent for anyone but he can't afford to get hit like that against an accurate puncher like Floyd.

Good fight either way (Floyd/Cotto) that I would like to see.

[Easy-E]

Floyd by decision.

Mayweather by UD, it will be sort of like the Baldomir fight but closer.

Cotto would slowy get torn to shreds.. Floyd is Too accuarte and Cotto too open.. If Cotto could learn to stop WALKING into shots He could pull it off.. But he is what he Is..

i think it would be interesting considering theyre both slow starters. cotto is most vulnerable at the beginning of the fight when he's getting his bearings, and zeroing in with the left hook to the body. mayweather's the same way, vulnerable while he gets his opponents timing down and starts to control the ring.

i think itd be an interesting turn of events to see mayweather confused as cotto heats up throughout the fight. mayweather, regardless of how accurate he is, wouldnt be able to hurt cotto. that being said, i can see a less-than-active mayweather getting steamrolled as the fight goes on. at the same time, i can see mayweather rising to the occasion and outboxing cotto.

hard to pick if you ask me.

I concur, a perfect analysis.
