Mayweather will beat Cotto EASILY

[sonofisis]

Mayweather would have to approach PW like he approached this guy:

^The main difference between the two, of course being talent.

You also have to remember Mayweather blocked nearly every one of Hatton's body shots. Cotto throws harder, more compact shots, but if the target isn't there, how's he going to wear him down?

"NO ONE CAN BEAT PAUL WILLIAMS......AND WHO THE HELL WILL FAULT FLOYD FOR LOSING TO HIM...IM HIS BIGGEST FAN AND I BARELY THINK HE CAN BEAT PAUL.

JUST BECAUSE FLOYD CANT BEAT A 6-2.....82 INCH REACH GIANT OF A WW WHOS A SOUTHPAW AND NEVER STOPS THROWING DOESNT MEAN HE ISNT AN ATG.


HE WOULD STILL BE AN ATG."

I agree, I'm not saying Mayweather wouldn't be number 2 P4P and an all time great, I just think Williams would beat him. I think Mayweather would mop the floor with Cotto and make it look easy.

Im convinced Floyd would tag Cotto once or twice then dissapear and give Cotto nothing to swing at...Easy fight for Floyd IMO.

I agree .............

However lets be reasonable about mayweather.........

and everyone knows im a huge fan...............

but you cant look at urself and say i have no faults.........

so we must be honest about mayweather as well as ourselves.......

from 140 down mayweather has fought the best there was..........

from 140 up he's hand picked his opponents......

and not the best of them...........

thats not to say they were all bums....

but quite a few..............

me i think mayweather moved up in weight class way too much......

if he wanted to go back down people would say he's ducking people...

so he's stuck at this point........

one thing i dont like about mayweather is how he talks about other boxers of the past........

i think mayweather is great..... however if he had fought leonard....

leonard would have kicked mayweathers ass.........

leonard fought top 10 competition before he was 26 .... and before he fought for a world title.....thats scary.......

i might misquote this but someone correct me if im wrong.....

he fought duran...benitez and hearns.........before fighting for a title..and he had that what...3 year layoff because of his eye...if he had been active during that time he might be 2nd all time only to ali... boxers of the past are measured by their competion during their era....

also alot of the fighters he fought are in the hall of fame.......

what im trying to say is that mayweather hasnt faced the best of competition on the way up...and although i think he is smart in hand picking his opponents... it dosent in my eyes do much for his legacy....

again mayweather is great....

but in order to secure his legacy i think he needs to clean out this division.....

i also get annoyed at floyd when he says i went up in weight 5 times... im 6 time world champion...

but floyd in all honesty who have you beaten on the way up.......

i said before the fight with hatton that hatton is a bum... not to discredit hatton but more to point out that again floyd picked an opponent he knew he would win against.......

peple may disagree with me... and thats ok.......

but i try to remain neutral even if im a fan to try to give an honest opinion...and not one thats swayed by ohhhh mayweather he's so great he can do no wrong...

he's accomplished alot........ i give him full credit......

but mayweather is no leonard...not even close..........

however if he cleans out this division.... in my eyes he would be in the top 5 all time.........

I think Floyd fights better than Leonard.(just by looking at him fight) But everything in this post I agree with 100%.

where are u backing up Pavlik???

DiegoFuego is talking a looooot of **** about Pavlik earlier on in this topic thingy

..............

1) How has he handpicked opponents when the ones he wanted at 140 were ducking him and who did he handpick at 147? How do you "handpick" a lineal title?

2) Floyd beat a couple of hall of famers as well, but if Floyd needed to pick a hall of famer to beat now just to please you, who would it be? Are there anymore around besides the one he beat in May? Leonard was surrounded by hall of famers who were around his weight class, that isn't a fair comparison.

3) In my eyes, if you're holding Mayweather to Leonard's standard, why should he have to clean out a division to be top 5 (Leonard didn't)? Even though I'd place him top 20, I don't see a win over a Cotto or Williams jumping him up to top 5. Who are they?

sonofisis..........

leonard fought the best there was in his time.........

are u telling me that after 140 mayweather has fought the best of his time ...

you think .... baldomir ...zab... hatton... are better than cotto or williams...all put together...

we all knew hatton was a bum..as is zab...zab only beats up street thugs...lol..and baldomir is a walking statue...you could beat baldomir..although i doubt by knock out...lol....

if u wanna say oscar is up there i would agree with oyu............

[wmute]

That may have been an overstatement but with Williams' high work rate (100 punches per round, 150 in the 12th!?!) I doubt Mayweather would look anywhere near normal, because it's not a fair fight.

I agree that Williams has a very good shot at Floyd, but I cannot even picture Mayweather looking amateurish.

Thats a ridicilous post. Hatton is a bum? Can a bum beat beat 2 Hall of fame fighters in Kostya and Castillo?

thats a matter of opinion but i wouldnt discredit your point of view....

however leonard could box and when he needed to he would just beat the shyt out of you.........

i dont think any of mayweathers opponents come close to duran ...hearns and hagler....

however this is also up for debate..........
