Three reasons why Floyd Mayweather is ducking Miguel Cotto...

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

When you say "ducking", do you mean in the past eight days?

OK. I see. Thanks for that.

[Easy-E]

you know this guy has the same pound 4 pound guys in his list that I have in mine and I bet he didnt get flamed about it and called a ****** lol

Even though mayweather isnt even close to being great, hes had like 5 good opponents and hes a runner, runners are the worst kind of boxer, hes got a big mouth and not a whole lot of talent to back it up with

Coming from the guy who has TONY MARGIRITO as his #4 p4p!

[Easy-E]

And if he does stay retired with only 38 fights and theres younger fighters out there who can beat him, then he will be remembered in history as a coward not a champion. Hell, judah was beating him before Judah ran out of gas. Cotto doesn't run out of gas.

Judah won 3 of the first 4.
It wasnt his stamina that lost him the fight, it was Floyds consistancy and defense.

[Easy-E]

Alright, with Miguel being the best pressure fighter Floyd has ever faced, how can you be so sure that Floyd's speed and mastery of effective punching will save him? Cotto's alot better than Castillo, and that's the best pressure fighter Floyd's faced. Judah is actually a little better but since his stamina is ****, he's worse than Castillo who's stamina improves as a fight progresses.



Floyd fought guys alot weaker than Cotto and De La Hoya off the ropes...He showed his weakness in forcing a clinch everytime DLH pressured him on the ropes, since he won't be able to clinch with Miguel, do you really think he'll just run away and potshot without eating one or two heavy body punches?

Cotto wouldn't be the one backing up if he fought Mayweather. Cotto has far more physical strength than an old DLH. Making the comparison of what DLH did vs Floyd, being what Cotto would do, void, since they're two completely different fighters with different styles.


Pretty easy to always bet on the undefeated guy who doesn't get hit. You made a better argument than I thought you would. You have to keep in mind that Corely put Floyd in survival mode, if Corely had any finishing skills whatsoever, he would have taken Floyd out. Lucky for Mayweather, Corely isn't a good finisher. What would a relentless Cotto do to Pretty Boy if he actually rung his bell like the lesser skilled Corely managed to do?

Ok, that NEVER happened.
Watch the fight.


And Cotto may be better than Castillo now, but Id say hes no better than the Castillo Floyd fought, with about equal power, a better chin, and better boxing skills.

Cotto is bigger, stronger, and more skilled than Jose Luis Castillo. That is all.

Than the current JLC, not a prime one.
You know, that guy who faced Floyd.

THat "logic" goes both ways.
DLH couldnt hit Floyd, and DLH is faster than Cotto, so how will Cotto be able to hit Floyd?
If Floyd lands the same amount of clean shots on Cotto that he did against DLH, he could stop him.

[drvooh]

Cotto's a proven dirty fighter...Guys grilled Hatton for the one VS Kostya...ZAB hit PBF low, and Cotto hit Zab TWICE below the belt...Why would Floyd wanna fight with that dirty prick...If he does, I hope he burys ****O..( Cotto )

No, my bold statement of the day is that Cotto is holds everything I described over any form of Jose.

Castillo has that whole head made of granite thing going for him though.
