Bait thread: Will Mayweather stop Cotto?

[Fox McCloud]

Here's why I don't think Mayweather has more than a prayer of knocking Cotto out:

1. Cotto is much bigger and stronger than Ricky Hatton.
2. Cotto is not going to come flying in head first like Hatton did when he got KO'd, Cotto is a much more cautious fighter.
3. Mayweather is going to be more than aware that Cotto is bigger and stronger than Ricky, so he is going to fight a more defensive fight.
4. Cotto has insane recovery skills, at least that is what has been showed in his previous fights, and he has a ton of will... I don't think he is going to let himself get counted out, and his recover skills will save him from a TKO.

I think Floyd wins a decision over him, and not nearly as wide as everyone seems to think it will be. 116-112 or 115-113 I would think.

If Cotto boxes with Mayweather it will be even worse for him.

Why is Cotto using his Jab and not coming in like Hatton did bad? People say DLH should've used his jab more....Was it good that he abandoned his jab and just rushed in and smothered him?

All the peeps here that are saying Floyd hands down...why don't you guys tell your boy to sign the contract and give the fans what we really want instead of talking bs about going over to MMA and producing music videos...I remember a guy that went to the music scene not too long ago because he got bored eith the sport and has yet to win a significant fight and he goes by the name of Oscar de la Hoya. You guy might as well tell Money May to fight while he's still in his prime because once he's past that he'll never be the same fighter.

Cotto left his suspect chin behind at 140 so right now I have to lean towards NO. After watching Cotto take bombs from Judah and Mosley I am convinced that he has a pretty good chin at 147.

Cotto is susceptible to right hand counters and Floyd has the best right hand counter in the game, Cotto is gonna take a lot of punishment and he could possibly be stopped on cuts, but I don't see him being KO'd.

My prediction is Floyd by UD 116-112 or 115-113

Primal, it's pretty simple. mayweather fans have more confidence in their man than floyd has in himself. it's kinda like the pretty girl who looks in the mirror and sees herself overweight or ugly, yet she is much more attractive than she realizes.

Floyd has a similar complex. He acts like he's all great, overeggagerates his confidence, when true supreme confidence doesn't have to blow their own trumpets like that. And the sheeple peeple see floyd act that way and are not wise enough to know what floyd is doing - covering up his own insecurity. floyd is duping a segment of the public.

floyd does not have the confidence to take on Cotto, he would rather do anything than fight Cotto. he will even opt to retire rather than fight Cotto.

Cotto's confidence has spooked floyd. but floyd's fans don't knwo what the hell is going on.

Is that why Floyd cancelled the Hatton fight when Hatton said, "My heart will explode before I lose this fight"?

If that isn't confidence, then I don't know what is.

Why do you have such disdain for Floyd and his fans?

How is the Floydcott going by the way?

to be honest with you, i have only seen highlights of cotto's last two fights, but he does not have the best chin so it is possible mayweather could stop him, however the fight I think will look more like Judah/Mayweather.

[warp1432]

I think it'll might look like Mayweather Castillo 2, but with Cotto more competetive, but not as competetive as Mayweather Castillo 1.

See Forrest was able to beat Mosley By punching where mosely was going to be... Not where he was...

But Mosley is not half the fighter Floyd is, especially defensively. He gets hit a lot and has a tendency to get wreckless on offense.

TRUTH! He fights more aggressively for sure!
