Mayweather, Cotto Camps Trade Verbal Blows

[Easy-E]

I don't know if it was you or whoever said the hip hop community supports him. That is an ignorant ass statement. Hip hop is not about flashy **** like Floyd, but that's a whole other argument. Anyway, I didn't say people buy the fight ONLY to watch HIM get beat. I said people buy the fight to see THEIR FIGHTER try and beat him. Very different things.

Actully the rap game today is about money and cars and being flashy, which sucks, but thats just the way it is.

Yeah I know, ****ing shame. But still don't say hip hop supports Mayweather because actually, hip hop would laugh at Mayweather. And I very much doubt that all of rap supports Mayweather. Mayweather would have been good for the Cash Money Millionaires.

Anyway, I don't think Floyd can sell PPV's at all, I know I wouldn't pay to watch him fight unless I thought the other guy had a chance to beat the **** out of him, and with Hatton that chance went out the window. I won't buy Mayweather vs Cotto because it'll be another points decision for Money.

I don't really feel like breaking down a whole book on why I think Floyd will lose but I will say this, Cotto isn't no Ricky Hatton, with less fights he's faced BETTER opposition and beat them all, he ain't such a bull who will let floyd play matador, Ricky played right into Floyd's hands and it was an amazing display by Floyd, grade A ****, he beat Ricky with his own game then with Floyd's game, the dude is a master Boxer but so is Cotto, Cotto knows how to do both.. see Cotto wont charge Floyd, he will be aggressive when he's throwing but patient when he's not he wont just be charging and blinded by the sight of just hurting Floyd, he will break him down and if anything he will win the rounds, he will pull off the rounds and land in combos, on top of being the aggressor and having such a superb jab Floyd will have trouble..

Floyd will just have trouble penetrating the guard of someone who's only really vulnerable to 1 punch and when hit with that punch if he isn't rocked he comes back with 2 or 3, Cotto is really just weak to the straight right hand, Floyd has a picture worthy right hand but Cotto is smart and knows that, Floyd will land it a few times and the fight will be close but for the most part I see Cotto getting the best out of the exchanges, he will force the fight and it will work, Floyd has all the tools to beat Cotto but Cotto also has all the tools to beat Floyd and I just think that it will take more than speed to confuse Miguel, it will take more than wit to do it, it's going to take A Lot of power, power that I don't think Floyd has to knock Cotto out, he will have to stop Miguel and I don't see a stoppage on either end..

Floyd can box VERY well but Miguel has enough skills of his own to fend off Floyd, he can go punch for punch whether it's Cotto's jab to Floyd's straight or likewise, I think it will be a test of will and seeing how he lost many rounds against Ricky early on I saw him open for the same kind of loss early in the Cotto fight only it wont change due to Cotto's unfathomable game plan, that dude has a plan for each letter of the alphabet so he can adapt to Floyd just as well as Floyd can adapt to him.. it wont be an obliteration, nobody will get destroyed here, it will be a beautiful Boxing match where we see a clear winner and a clear loser, I don't think there will be any disputes I just think Cotto even though is less slicker he is more mentally fit to go up against Floyd's confusing style, just an opinion but one I stand by, I don't see Miguel Cotto losing to Floyd Mayweather.. 100

Fair enough. I'm one of those sorry souls who tunes in to see Floyd lose, so I hope you're right. I think that Cotto has developed into a pretty versatile fighter, and his counter-punch timing is excellent, but I've thought for a long time that both his hand and footspeed are way too slow to contend with Mayweather. I have a feeling that Cotto will try to box with Mayweather and not mix it up as much as many people seem to think. I think he has a lot of confidence in himself as a boxer (probably too much) and would be worried about going in Frazier style for fear of being counter-punched to death. Cotto showed some good stuff in the Mosely fight, but I saw him fade too (I scored it a draw). As well as Mosely fought at 36 yrs old, I believe that he (Mosely) would have run away with it five years earlier.

cotto Mayweather would do 1mill

Properly promoted that fight could do 1 million, Floyd has a legion of people waiting to see him lose... Cotto is an aggressive dangerous young fighter who is a proven threat... PBF would take him but I would drop 50 bucks to see that fast..

Mayweather would destroy Cotto...but Williams would mop the floor with both of them.

very logical post..REALLY supports your argument there Mr Sinclair

I believe that my posts are quite a bit more lucid and logical than yours. I don't even have to increase my font size. Here's a dancing banana for you:

[ferocity]

Cotto's pay-per-view with Shane Mosley generated a buyrate near 360,000, a far number from Mayweather-De La Hoya, which generated well over over 2 million buys.

Arum's "a bitter old man because Floyd outsmarted him," said Ellerbe. "A lot of people will be asking, 'Who is he?' He's a very good fighter, a warrior, but not enough people know him."

These are around the same number Mayweather was doing before Delahoya. So then you add in the 24/7 hype machine and it should reach 1 million buys if not more.

Its funny how Mayweathers people feel floyd some kind of ppv star all by himself. If it wasn't for Delahoya he'd still be selling a whole lot less ppv.

Will yall stop with this Williams talk? Please! This kid good in the ring, tall and rangegy like Tommy "Hitman" (the REAL HITMAN!) Hearns, but WHO HAS HE BEAT???

Marg?? WHO IS HE?

Then, when Floyd fights and beats these guys, yall have 1 million more EXCUSES!!!!

LOL!! I have to laugh out loud because this is getting old. How about all these dudes yall talking about fight each other, and yall get front row seats and enjoy!

Mayweather been world champ 10 years and aint lost since 96..what else he has to prove in boxing? Believe, I know the response that I will get...

Money said, "The person to beat Floyd Mayweather, hasn't even been born yet"...LOL!!!

I feel you, I look at each fight, fighter, winner or loser in a neutral light, I don't hold any reserved feelings this is just what their hands have shown me, I have seen Cotto deal with fast and stronger guys who had some real pop and win convincingly, I think Cotto beats Floyd in a VERY competitive fight but I just don't see Floyd pulling it off, if he does then I will forever shut my mouth, he will have beaten the other best dude in his division and will have nothing left to prove in his own division, to me he can retire right now and still be an all-time great, he doesn't need Miguel Cotto nor does Cotto need Floyd, they both will write their own history and will have their epic battles, thats the way of Boxing, Cotto is a menace in his own right and Floyd doesn't need to prove anything, he can walk away proud and just give up the belts to let the newer breed do their thing.. 100
