Hopkins: "Cotto will give Mayweather nightmares"

[NAPO]

no i can't believe it popkins praising a rican that's just too much for me today.

[cottomania]

Recognized light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins was very impressed with Miguel Cotto's recent decision win over his Golden Boy Promotions partner, Shane Mosley. Hopkins feels that Cotto (31-0, 25KOs) is the strongest fighter at welterweight and would give Floyd Mayweather Jr. (38-0, 24KOs) nightmares if they met in the ring. [details]

i think b-hops is absolutely right by far, and it would be an even bigger nightmare for him if they were in a small ring

[C'MONMANG']

Why does Floyd have to pursue Cotto, shouldn't Cotto be pursuing Mayweather?

peruse? define persue. Arum said they are looking at MAYWEATHER if he beats Hatton.

MAYWEATHER has said TWICE he aint fighting Cotto. Ball is in Floyds court. There is no persue. Cotto is the #1 welter ..Floyd has already turned down the previous #1 welter Floyd needs to choose Cotto and stop BSing

[Jim Jeffries]

Those key words are what every boxer is trying to figure out right now. "If i could only Land"

Looks like Corley, Chavez and Judah already landed hard enough shots to hurt Mayweather, but Cotto is a much better finisher.

I agree....because no way Floyd takes the flush shots Mosley did and keep grinning........Mosley has proven over the years he has an Iron Chin.....I don't feel as thought Floyd has.Floyd chin is not bad,I'm not saying that but I thinkl Cotto could stop him if he could land like he did on Mosley.

Cotto wouldn't land as nearly as many shots on Mayweather as he did Mosley anyways. This is Nard's way of rising Mosley's stock. Of course B-Hop isn't gonna say Floyd would run right through Cotto after Cotto just beat his partner. It isn't good business...

Cotto would get the bizness like De La Hoya did if he fought Floyd..Floyd would use his speed to frustrate Cotto and make him start looping his shots and Floyd would just keep pounding his head...making him miss how frustrating!!!

Does anyone take what Hopkins says seriosuly. According to him: Oscar was going to beat Flyod. According to him: Mosley was going to beat Cotto. According to him: Barrera was going to beat Manny.

Obviuosly he has to back his own people, but thats 3 in a row he has called wrong.

floyd is closer to golden boy then cotto is.

The only two people I would listen in the boxing world, on any subject is Hopkins and Atlas. Buy even I think he is wrong on this. With the styles, I see Mayweather picking Cotto apart.
