mayweather can't beat cotto

[cashdon]

i think floyd would win an easier fight against cotto than he did against hatton. Although i don't think floyd would win by ko he would easily outbox cotto. Cotto fights at arms reach where as hatton fights at kissing range, cotto may be better than hatton but he will not be trying to lean on floyd all night which will result with him being in floyd's range and just getting countered all night.

Here is a guy who knows what he is talking about. Castillo proved the blueprint to being competitive with Floyd. You have to crowd and be willing to get hit in order to get to Floyd. Hatton followed the blueprint but was just unable to execute being the smaller man. Cotto does not fight like this and I agree the fight would be easier. Floyd will be easily contented with dominating Cotto to a decision win but will go for the knockout if he is able to hurt Cotto. I just see to many flaws in Cotto's style that a master tactician like Floyd will exploit. Now I can understand Floyd saying that he is done with boxing but he can no longer say Cotto is not a big name fight or the public doesn't want to see that. I think it is the biggest fight he would get beside a De La Hoya rematch (which I personally do not ever want to see)

Good luck to him on that... Floyd has never been drug into a war. Ever.

You want to tip your hand on how Cotto is going to do so?

not yet.

[Fox McCloud]

not yet.

Guess that is what will make this fight so **** if it ever goes down.

Yes he can.

But Cotto is a real fighter and isn't some limited guy who is one dimensional in his approach.

Dude comes to fight and has some serious skills.

He is massive even moving up in weight and Mayweather would feel his power.

Mayweather would beat him over the 12 rounds. Cotto is a little too economical in his approach. It would be a very good fight though. ONe for the purists.

Thanks bro... I didn't have to wait long to get your take on this bout.

Cotto is one of my favorite fighters, but I have never seen the quickness needed on his part to engage Floyd. He would need to be able to cut off the ring and give himself space to land shots, but Floyd would just pick him apart inbetween that time. Still a fight I want to see and think should happen. I wouldnt be mad if Cotto fought Oscar though.

face it dude hatton is nowhere near the boxer cotto is

hatton aint ****

You might be right about it.

I also have a feeling that the more he refines his boxing technique, the less of a chance he gives himself to beat Floyd.

Just an example, and no one ****ing tell me that I shouldn't compare the two, because I'm not:

Gatti ****ed himself over even more for their bout because he stopped brawling and started winning fights with his jab and "boxing skills".

Cotto might be able to outjab Mayweather, but I don't think so...

I think he would do better brawling, but I am not sure.

Not to toot my own horn, but I was looking back at recent posts I made on another forum (boxing b.anter . com) and pretty much what I said came true 95% of the time. Like the time I predicted Toney would be slapped around by Rahman and Peter.

Goes to show what I know about the sport.

I been studying it for years.

That's a good way to look at it and I agree.

LOL @ the guys here saying Gatti had 'boxing' skills.

He's flat footed and he paws with his jab.

That's not boxing. lol lol
