    MM Will Definatly Fight Cotto

    Ive been trying to post this thread for 4 days now and it would never go through for some reason. I basically have gave up on it until I read the ***rely store thread so here it goes. Damn its actually doing it again. It keeps saying that we cant find the web page you are looking for. I keep sending it back but it wont work. Ill try something different
    ----------------


    As long as Cotto continues to handle his business then that fight will definatly happened. Why? Its as simple as that Floyd is a fighter. Thats what he does. He can try to do all this other side crap that may fulfill him for a bit but after that he will get that itch again as 99% of atheletes do. We also know that the guy is a workout freak and he's not going to just stop going to the gym forever. Once he starts going then you know he's going to want to fight again. Add that also to the fact that Floyd is starting to grow into the weight and although he is clearly not a big WW, he is putting on more weight now.

    The only real opponents right now for Floyd are Cotto, Williams, & Margarito. Williams name isnt big enough in the main stream. Margarito can deliver money but he cant deliever the main stream fame that Hatton & Oscar did. Cotto cant do it yet either but if he beats Oscar then thats the final straw. If he fights Oscar then you know it will be a war with both guys looking for a KO and the fans would love it. You also know that Oscar will bring the viewers. If Cotto wins impressivley on that stage at the same time Floyd will start itching then that fight will definatly happened. There is only one big obstacle besides Cotto beating Oscar. If he does then he will think he is a big star now and I could see a big fight over the money split. I bet anything that Floyd will say that Cotto has never sold any good PPV's on his own and he's only had 2 good one's because Shane was the main guy and Oscar was. We all know that they cant do a 24/7 with Oscar-Cotto because it would be too boring so Floyd would want the money as he thinks he is the star.

    Still though, have no fear because it will go down and by that time it will be the biggest mega fight since Leonard-Hagler when you talk about real hype and both guys legitmatly having a chance to win. It would make a ton of more money then it would now. Dont call Floyd names yet. He might say he doesnt love it but he does. If your a Cotto fan it will be even better because Cotto will be even more experinced, and more in his prime, while Floyd will be another year older and inactive for the longest period of his career. Floyd cant get that same rush doing anything else and once you get that rush then you dont want to give it up. He's a gambler too? Dude loves it. He'll be back no doubt and he only wants big money, big fame fights and he has to fight a guy like Cotto to get it

        Trust me when I say those are fights that I would love as boxing fans but I just cant see it. I know Arum said he's thinking alot about Clottey but that is one dangerous mofo to be going in with when you know that Floyd is lying and will likely come back. Oscar is dangerous too but atleast you will make huge money in that fight. Maybe they like Clottey more because Oscar realized that he cant make WW and he would want to fight Cotto at 154 which scares the Cotto camp.

        Its basically the same for Oscar-Margarito. I think Oscar would like it as a personal fight and if it was just about hard core boxing guys then it would be a mega fight in LA but I dont think the mainstream would get into it and it wouldnt make normal Oscar money. For that he's going to have to fight Cotto or Hatton and maybe you can thow a Forrest in there

          yeah you are probably right, i still think dlh can make 147lbs, his choices are hatton/cotto/rematch mayweather for big pay days,
          nobody mentions cotto vs williams that would be a great fight

            He'll fight Cotto if he wins his next fight, if not his next two fights.

            In other words he wont fight until next November at the earliest and Cotto wont want to sit around.

              I have mixed feelings about Cotto-Mayweather, part of me doesn't want to see this fight because I think Cotto will beat him and I want him to retire undefeated and after that Hatton win he should have the right to walk away, there shouldn't be another defecit in front of him, Floyd gave me a memorable night on the night of Hatton, I was literally the ONLY one screaming MONEY MAY MOTHER****ERS!, and EVERYBODY was quiet and when Hatton did something they cheered and I was just like KEEP WATCHING N!GGAZ!, they was like yea yea and I was wildin, me alone I was louder than everyone there combined, at heart I WAS SURE Floyd would win.. with that being said he doesn't get disrespected in my book, I know who he is and I support him even in a loss, I don't care win, lose or draw he will still be one of my favorite fighters of all time and a legend to the eyes of any real Boxing fan..

              against Cotto I just don't see him getting past him, all the tools are there but I just don't see it, they would have to announce the decision in order for me to believe that Cotto lost, I am VERY confident in Miguel so half of me doesn't want to see this fight but the other half does just to shut up a few mouths who talk **** about Cotto and make him out to seem like a fraud, a win over Floyd can change that as well as make a few cats bite their tounges, ALL DUE RESPECT to Floyd but Cotto will win this fight and with my respect towards Floyd I don't want to see that happen especially after Dec. 8th, call me crazy and I'm sure many of you do even the respectable members of this board, I know I'm jumping the gun by saying this and I KNOW damn near no one agree's and I like it like this because if I'm right, I'M RIGHT and if I'm wrong well hey no one ever expected Cotto to win anyway , nahe but on tha real I think Cotto wins and I'll put some points up, I haven't been wrong yet on any bet I have made up on here.. 100

                I really dont know Floyd's timetable. There are a few things in the way. 1st I think he thinks he wants a break but once he sits around for a couple of months then he is going to want to train again. I know he wants to sit for near a year but I think he will start getting the itch before then which could change things. Then you have the fact that he's going to want Cotto but will be debating wether or not he should make Cotto fight Oscar so the fight can be even bigger or should he just fight him 1st. I honestly think that if Cotto picks Clottey over Oscar then you may see Floyd try to step in before that.

                I dont think Floyd wants to fight now but I also dont think he can sit around for a year. I think after 5 months he will really want to do something and then make a fight 3-4 months away so I say in around 9 months he will have his fight. I guess the perfect thing would be like Cotto-Oscar in early May and then Cotto-Floyd in late September

                  Im the biggest Floyd fan there is but even I had my doubts about Cotto and even some of the other WW's just because of the size. I thought that Floyd would just have a tough time with those big guys and I thought it was unfair of the public to insist on it when they were so much naturally bigger and stronger. If Floyd lost I want to see him lose because someone is better, not to someone he is clearly P4P better then but they were just too damn big for him.

                  However, things changed in the Hatton fight and all the WW's should have 2nd thoughts about fighting Floyd. The one good thing I thought about the Oscar fight was that moving up to 154 would help Floyd's body adjust to WW quicker. Now if you look at Floyd's body in the Zab & Baldy fights compared to his body against Hatton, its not even close. Floyd will never probally be a real WW let alone a huge one like the others but he's way better off now then he was a year or 2 ago. He's much more filled out. I wish they had showed the weights in the Hatton fight. Floyd has never came in for a WW fight even over the limit. He's never been over 146 which is why I thought people are jerks for demanding him to fight guys like Cotto & Williams who weight like 162 in the ring. However, if he just got to like 150 then it would be a huge difference for Floyd and I think he got there against Hatton. Floyd also looked very strong and had nice pop. Now ofcourse all this is skewed because Hatton is a 140 pounder but you could still see that Floyd is much different then he was against Baldy. In that fight he looked like a flat board. Now I think he can take the punches of the big guys and can even hurt them.

                  I think it all comes down to how he fights. If he pot shots then he will have hell trying to beat Cotto but if he mixes it up and even goes toe to toe with combos then I think he comfortbaly beats Cotto because I think on the inside he can still block a ton of punches and counter back with crisp hard shots that will find the mark on Cotto's shakey D. Floyd will beat him now with the added weight. Thats honestly the biggest reason why I think Floyd and his team didnt want to fight these guys and Margarito. Look how small he was. Now, he's bigger and feeling better at that weight and thats why I believe he will now fight these guys

                    DLH wants to fight Hatton at a catch weight of 150, so I doubt he can make WW (147) anymore.
