    If Cotto is Better than Floyd, Let's let Cotto walk in Floyd's footsteps..!!

    Cotto Should Fight ODLH @ 154 just as Floyd did....

    Cotto fans are quick to say that Cotto is better the PBF, and would knock Floyd out out... Well let's see How Cotto would do if put in the same position that Floyd was in.....

    Let's let Cotto walk in Floyd's footsteps....and fight one of the best fighters in their generation @ a weight that cotto is not Natural at...!

    People forget that in the past
    Everytime PbF move up in weight that it was against a champion there wasnt no warm up fights...

    Lightweight / Castillo(1st fight @ weight) for the belt

    Jr. WW / Corely(1st fight @ weight) for the belt

    WW/ Judah(1st fight @ weight) for the belt

    Jr. Middle weight/ ODLH (1st fight @ weight) for the belt




    And Cotto is moving up in weight not even fighting a champion so it should be more easier because a belt is not on the line..!!





    So this is one of the ways, Cotto can prove he is better than Floyd like his fans say...


    Mayweather is boxing’s best all-around fighter period.
    Look @ his dominance over his opposition. Few fighters have ever been as statistically superior to his opponents than Mayweather, who rarely loses rounds, much less fights. A recent CompuBox analysis determined that the “Pretty Boy” leads the sport in “plus-minus” rating – and not by a little. The “plus-minus” is the difference between a fighter’s average connect percentage and that of his opponents, and Mayweather’s plus-30 (46 percent to 16 percent) is seven percentage points ahead of his closest competition, Juan Diaz, who owns a plus-23.

    Mayweather’s rating compares favorably to the prime Roy Jones (plus-23) and Pernell Whitaker (plus-16). For the record


    This is way I laugh when Cotto fans swear to God that Cotto is better than Floyd..... (And they are serious....)

    Look at this PBF stat.....

    WELTERWEIGHT CHAMP
    FORMER JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT CHAMP (’05)
    FORMER LIGHTWEIGHT (2002-04)
    FORMER JR. LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMP (1998-00)
    17-0-0, 8 KO’S IN CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS
    9-0-0 (6) at jr. light.
    4-0-0 (1) at light.
    1-0-0 (1) at jr. welter.
    2-0-0 (0) at welter.
    1-0-0 (0) at jr. middle.
    17 CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS HAVE LASTED 166 ROUNDS AND AVERAGED 9.8 ROUNDS
    (63% of his pro rounds have been fought in championship fights)
    38 FIGHTS HAVE LASTED 265 ROUNDS AND AVERAGED 7.0 ROUNDS
    (45% of his fights have been championship fights)



    Come on Cotto Prove your Greatness and do just one of the things that PBF has done....

        Corley at 140 didn't have a belt.

        Judah at 147 wasn't his first fight, it was Sharmba Mitchell.

        Anyways, this follow in the footsteps **** doesn't make any sense, because Cotto has already been doing that, with Sosa, Corley, Judah, etc.

        Styles make fights, and nothing anyone says or does (short of Cotto losing) can unjustify a fight between Mayweather and Cotto.

        That being said, I am still convinced that Floyd fights him, mostly because of all the **** that Floyd and Cotto keep talking on each other. Trying to hype the fight it seems like.

              I disagree... it was close, but I think Mayweather had a bit of a better year.

                  I think Mayweather's year was better as well but there's not a lot to choose between them.
