Floyd "I wont fight Cotto if he defeats Mosley"

[Thread Stealer]

LMAO power is the only thing any of you can say that Cotto has over PBF. I never said Cotto doesn't have skills you just implied that. But besides a power advantage I have seen nothing that Cotto does better than PBF. SO basically yeah whatever to Cotto beating PBF anyday of the week!!!!!!!!!!

cotto is a better bodypuncher, has a better workrate, and probably is physically stronger.

he's also less proven than mayweather, which may mean he's more hungry.

lol, Cotto was fine when he hit Judah with low blow

How was Cotto's mouth bleeding then? Did he punch himself?

This discussion won't even matter later this week after Cotto gets spanked.

let him get spanked then but until that happens those words from Mayweather STILL show signs of fear... not full blown fear neither just an early as daylight alibi to justify dodging Cotto. no doubt in my mind that Mayweather is one BRAVE dude but that all can easily change if he avoids a big money showdown against Cotto stating small money as a reason when anyone with a brain or knowledge towards this Boxing world KNOWS that the biggest money fight for Floyd aside from Oscar De La Hoya is Miguel Cotto, no 2 ways about it. 100

I can't agree that Cotto is a better body puncher and here is why. There is a big difference in going to the body and attacking a persons body. PBF goes to the body with well placed punches when there is a opening. Cotto attacks the body with constant shot without really trying to land head shots early majority of the time.
Workrate is subjective to your opponent and isn't really a indicator of anything. Because a person can throw 100 punches in a round and land 25 but somebody else can throw 60 punches in a round and land 35. Throwing 100 punches in the round didn't make you more effective or mean that you won the round based on activity.

When cotto hits you to the body your whole gameplan changes, mayweather does not have that.

vegas casinos can usually afford higher site fees than arenas like msg because of all the out of towners drinking and ******** their money away.

it's why the megafights in the u.s. nowadays USUALLY (not always) take place in Vegas or near a casino.

I feel you.. but still Cotto WOULD go to Las Vegas so there still isn't a good reason for Floyd to be doing otherwise.. a Cotto fight makes the most sense after Hatton in terms of money and if he REALLY wants money then he should fight Cotto in MSG so he can bring the 1st MEGA fight to that new ring.. I feel u about the casino point you made, that makes sense. 100

well it's tough to judge in that regard if one guy goes to the body a lot more. floyd is a clever and selective bodypuncher. but obviously, going to the body more means you are more likely to do more damage to the body, and ultimately cotto does a lot of damage to the body, and still doesn't waste too many punches.

accuracy is more important than workrate but a low workrate still can be a detriment. what if a guy is less accurate but still lands as many or more shots than the other guy who throws less?

i think cotto does mix it well though, from body to head.

One thing IS for sure. Cotto is more effective when he goes to the body. When Floyd goes to the body, there is hardly anything behind his punches.

guess we'll have 2 wait and see what happens.

floyd is talking now about not wanting 2 fight cotto, but let's see what happens if hbo and the public wants it and there is a huge offer on the table, and the best offer for him.

is the hate arum and floyd have towards each other stronger than $12-15 million?

i think not.
