Floyd: "Cotto, to me ain't nothing but a punching bag."

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Zab was kicking the crap out of Mayweather before Zab's stamina kicked in. Cotto's better then zab and doesn't have a stamina problem. I don't see how Cotto would be a punching bag if Zab gave Mayweather problems. Then you bet your ass Cotto would.

Um, Zab landed a few good shots. I think we may be giving Zab too much credit. Zab landed those same shots on Tszyu in the first round. And on Cotto early in their fight.

Zab just has startling speed. Until you adjust to it.

Kinda how it took JMM a round or two before he adjusted to that lightning left hand that Pac totes around.

Mosley gets beat. He throws one punch at a time just like Zab. He's smarter though and way tougher. He likes to hold when he misses with a punch and because of that I think he goes 12 rounds but looses most of them unless you listen to Harold Ledderman.

Mosley didn't show much of anything in his 3 last fights at ww (Collazo, Cruz and Estrada). As a matter of fact, he hasn't shown that he's a good puncher at 147 and above except for the Vargas fights.

I disagree. He looked bad in his first 2 fights at WW but that was also at the time when he was down in his career. In his last 3 fights he has looked very good against Vargas & Collazo. How can you say he didnt look good against Collazo when he dominated a guy who gives everyone trouble and who alot of people thought beat Hatton?

he out punched de la hoya in the first

Not much was said on the first two, but Cotto had some choice words for Mayweather, who took plenty of shots at Cotto during some of his past interviews.

"Mayweather has based his life on doing what did in the fight with Oscar De La Hoya - to run. He will run when he faces me. Mayweather and his team know who Miguel Cotto is. No matter how much they underestimate me, no matter what they say about me, they know the level and the quality of a fighter like Miguel Cotto. When that fight is made, everyone is going to see it. It will be a great victory for Puerto Rico", Cotto said.

Who does floyd consider the better person on his resume? Hatton or Cotto? If he's fighting Hatton, does Floyd consider Hatton better then Cotto? Or is Hatton floyds way of getting away from Cotto?

[slicksouthpaw16]

Just like Floyd said, ''Zab is a front runner'' when zab thinks things are going his way, he will put on a masterpiece but if he knows he is losing, he will start to break down. In the Mayweather fight, zab was giving Floyd a boxing lesson in the first 3 or 4 rounds and countering Floyd at will. but when Floyd started to listen to his corner and start taking over the fight, zab got tired and and broke down. which caused the riot in the ring.

who has Shane knocked out with a good name at welterweight or junior middleweight? you cant say Vargas because he was shot and his chin was already caved in by trinidad and Oscar. if Shane had power like that then he would have knocked Oscar and Forrest out. Oscar and Shane stood toe to toe and Oscar didn't even get hurt. and i know Shane does not have more power than cotto. cotto has one punch power and shane has to wear you down with shots. Shane better box and move with cotto or he will get his body tore up.

Come on now, how can you say something like that? Shane has been fighting so many top guys. Your not going to stop those guys. Your crazy if you think Cotto even comes close to stopping the Oscar or Forrest that Shane fought. Also, how does everyone not know if Cotto's power is overrated? Everyone he's stopped he's been much bigger then. He was killing guys at 140 because he was twice there size. Even at WW he hasnt faced anyone except for 2 140 pounders in Zab & Urkal and a guy in Quinatana who is a slick type fighter who hasnt beaten anyone except a green overrated Julio. You guys are crazy if you think Cotto even comes close to Knocking Out Collazo, Clottey, Margarito, Williams, Shane, Oscar, Forrest, Winky, or whoever. Its easy to knock out guys who your much bigger then or guys who are bums but your not even going to come close to stopping these guys who are your size or bigger and guys who are just as good or even better then you.

also, look at this thread. The numbers show that Cotto won but read most of the comments about the one punch power http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=132748

Miguel Cotto come to the welterweight division with a **** beating the piss out of Quintana, who made his name by outboxing the very highly-regarded at the time Joel Julio.

Ricky Hatton made his debut to the ww division and won narrowly against Collazo. Just because Ricky struggled against Collazo now everybody is making Collazo to be this great fighter?

I think Cotto would've done to Collazo what he did to Quintana and Collazo had tasted the canvas before too so it will be easier for him to go back down. But that's just like my opinion you know.

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR -> Main Chat: Let me teach you about the game young man, Mosley and Cotto are good fighters, but what has Cotto done other than beat fighters I already beat? What's impressive about that? And Shane Mosley is a very good fighter, but Shane suddenly wants to fight me but the whole world knows that he had a number of opportunities to fight me. I don't have to discredit nobody my record speaks for itself. I wouldn't be in this position without beating the top guys. Last I looked Mosley had four losses. And all I do is soften them up for Cotto. If Mosley beats Cotto, Cotto fights Hatton next. Just because you get rocked in a fight and get up, all that shows is that you like taking punishment. Cotto, to me ain't nothing but a punching bag. Cotto don't even believe he should fight me himself. He ain't never mentione my name once, that's just his promoter doing all the talking for him.



Let's see what happens if Cotto beats Mosley...

See, folks. This is the manipulative ******* Floyd.

He knows that PBF-SSM is the bigger fight. So now he's pumping Shane up as "a very good fighter". Last week, Shane was "Just a sparring partner" and Floyd "doesn't care what sparring partners have to say".

But since GBP is co-promoting his upcoming fight, and since Floyd thinks that SSM is gonna beat Migs, he'll give Shane a little love.

Please note that Floyd had said (before 5/5) that he would never work with Golden Boy again. As soon as he got that big check, he wanted a rematch. And now, he has flip-flopped on Shane.

That is why I tell you guys not to pay attention to the bull**** that he says. just appreciate the artistry in the ring.

[DLT]

I've heard Cotto say he wants to fight De La Hoya, Mayweather or Hatton so that is some straight bull****... Mayweather is just scurreddd..

again, I said that he never mentioned Floyd until the other day or like 2 weeks ago and that was only because the reporter asked him about Floyd dissing him. He has never said anything about Floyd until then
