Miguel Cotto: "Mayweather Always Makes Excuses"

[Floydmayweather]

lol You're actin like Floyd has had experience with Cotto's type of pressure

If Hatton's amateur dive-in pressure can prevent Floyd from getting his feet set for the first 4 or 5 rounds, lol ****...Cotto sure as hell can do the same, but actually throw an elite set of punches in the process. Some heavy ass sets of body punches. And Cotto's hands at his face for defense, I bet will be just as strong as Oscar's. I don't see Floyd able to break that D with a significant amount of pot shots.

Cotto is great at cutting of the ring but does not move quickly and is open for many countershots, Floyd needs to fight him. He will stop Cotto when they do, thats right i said it FLOyd by ko. Peace

By the way this fight will happen its a ploy to get more interest in the fight and for Cotto to get another big win to add legitimacy to the fight.

So why hasn't he fought a 147 pounder for over a year?

Because he fights like once a year and looks for Money.

hey No Brainer.. William's has a very very long reach.. Longer than any heavyweights out there.. Williams has 82 inches while Floyd has only 73 I think.. That's how Marg lost because on non stop jabbing and spacing.. Paul is also 6'1 or 6'2.. If you could imagine his size height and reach is for the heavyweight Division.. Paul will be the only one who will give problems for Floyd because I don't think Floyd can counter Paul if he uses his jab everytime.

I recall a young Tyson going up against a decent jabber in Tucker, who was
6'5, and had an 82+ inch reach. It can be done.

I really don't see how Corrales and Cotto can even be compared defensively. Cotto has a strong D, I think it can hold up just aswell as Oscars did against Floyd. Plus if Floyd can't get his feet set and stamped into the ground, his punches are nothing to worry about. I mean when he was a lightweight, yeah..he can move and punch. But at this weight, I think he needs his feet set to land anything slightly hurtfull.

As for Cotto havin problems with jabs and uppercuts, I mean other then that one Zab uppercut, I really haven't seen Cotto threatened. Plus at this weight he seems to recover great, and even after being stung, he stay's strong for the entire 12.

Talking about the way he fought him. Constant movement, angles, confusion, popping the jab, mixing it up with combinations, etc.

Cotto just plots forward, he isn't blitzing forward like Tyson did and I don't even think he is as good as Torres was with similar style.

If Cotto had such a great D, he wouldnt' get hurt so much.

The last part of you writing is what I am also talking about. Floyd Now, compared to then. Can he still do what he used to do or is one of his problems about weight. Balance can also be effected when you increase weight.

quick tillis fought a similar fight against tyson, except he moved around alot more and it annoyed tyson.


anyhow, its strange, there are quite a few people ready to give floyd a pass for ducking cotto at this point due to the amount of **** he has received over the last 2 1/2 years being p4p number 1, im in the bracket, so long as hes not talking about fighting him, or calling anyone else out, if he doesnt pay cotto any mind, im not exactly going to go crazy over the prospect of this fight. The only people ready to rip floyd for not fighting cotto immediately are the cotto contingent on this board/media who are ready for their next poster child to dethrone him.

If floyd starts spittin that "easy work" **** about 50 times a week, then id say he needs to move on this fight, but if not, and if hes just in hiding chilling with his family on vacation, then its like whatever, im not really trippin that hard.

you know why I wont **** on you? because I can't, what you saying is borderline true and the ONLY thing stopping you is opinion, MY OPINION but let alone opinion doesn't change fact, a counter shot can ONLY work when it lands.. against Cotto... No No Noooooooooooooooooo.. Cotto will rip threw Floyd like a rapist threw some *****, hate to use such a ****ed up example but you could kill me if Cotto losses, I will bet EVERYTHING I own if there is a New York ***** around my way who wants it and is willing to bet the same price, either THAT or his life. 100

Edit: no bull**** either, I can't bet my room because it's not in my name, I bet money Floyd will lose, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sure I wont even take bets up until fight week, remember the name, Crillz, so I this fight is ever done and you want to put some real gwap up we could put some REAL money up threw paypal, maybe someone allows US to send our bets to them and WE KNOW THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE enough to complete our ****, someone legit like Bigpoppapump but someone who wont rob us like Asian Sensation, someone who's ALL caked up but would hold us down, I WOULD bet EVERY dollar I own, PERIOD on Cotto beating Floyd, I don't care how or why but Cotto beats him.. 100

I have seen that mosley fight twice now, if mosley did what he was doing earlier in the fight, and not later, he would have won. Mosley was feeling himself from the vargas fights and was reaching back swinging for the ****ing fences and cotto took his shots, when mosley moved around and used his jab and gave him a different look, Cotto didint fare that well, but then mosley started doing all this great movement and didint punch and cotto just took free shots at will at him.

Either way, Cottos defense is not that great, he can be hit, and i dont wanna hear the **** that AntonioM said this week "Cotto adapts to a fight better than Mayweather" because that **** isnt true, when you cant get out of the way of the right hand, your not adapting to anything but your own mental foritutude to take shots.

[AntonTheMeh]

im done bickering about the prospect of this **** going down,the **** happens or not.mu****as need to stop acting like they got something riding on this.

Cotto vs PBF

PBF is the better boxer, better blessed with all that god given talent, but COTTO is like like a bull in a bullring and he would be the one with a dozen banderillhas in his back, still trying to kill the matador. This kid has heart and i don't think PBF COULD KEEP THIS GUY OFF HIM WITH HIS SOFT HANDS.(THE KO OF RICKY DOES NOT COUNT THE GUY IS WAY TO SMALL FOR WW. FLOYED HAS NOT KO ANY TRUE WW!!!!!! GATTI DONT COUNT EITHER NOT A TRUE WW AND HAS BEEN BEAT OR BEATEN UP BY EVERYONE)

[evo]

I like cotto he's a warrior but floyd will be too fast another floyd w.
