The Ring: "Mayweather Could Definately Lose To Cotto"

[SkillspayBills]

I PROMISE you that Mayweather will not "kill" Cotto. Cotto is too good and can adapt too well to get completely shut out.

Trust me, this isn't going to be Wright-Trinidad or something like that. Cotto will win a few rounds in the worst case scenario for him.

Cotto will win 4 rounds at most, bank on that. I can't wait for this fight, I am going to double up in a big way.

Mayweather has a couple of things to worry about when it comes to Miguel Cotto.

I can't think of anyone that Floyd has fought (with the exception of Zab "4 rounds" Judah) that is as deadly accurate as Miguel Cotto is. That coupled with Cotto's power could be something that breaks and wears Floyd down slowly but surely.

Cotto's body shot really could take Floyd out. I know Floyd hasn't had a problem with body shots in the past, but I don't think he has faced a body puncher with near as heavy of hands as Miguel Cotto.

I think Floyd's dealt with body punchers a lot and so I think he's adapted to it better. De La Hoya, Chavez, Castillo, and even Hatton to somewhat degree are all body punchers and he got used to defending there. Even against De La Hoya he blocked a lot of his body shots.

I think if Cotto could use the speed he showed at the begining of the Mosley fight, it could give him problems. Though, Cotto is a sucker for the right hand and the uppercut. When Mosley was boxing, he was winning. I think Floyd could catch him with the uppercut or the right hand coming in.

The thing he needs to work on, which he probably will since he's fighting De La Hoya, is not letting the jab effect him and not getting bullied into the ropes. He needs to throw 4-5 punch combinations and get in and out. He can't potshot it. The left hook-right hand combo he usually does might work to somewhat degree, but he needs to put more combos. The combos he did against Hatton were brilliant. At the same time, he can't always do that since Cotto is the bigger man.

I see Floyd winning a comfrotable UD because he was used to it do to the second Castillo fight.

Idk, Mayweather did put the stipulation of "if the money is right" for his little vacation thing. The money doesn't get any righter than Oscar a second time.

I'm waiting to see what happens after the 2nd De La Hoya fight to see if he is ducking him or not.

Did he say that this time? I can't remember anymore..

[Vladimir303]

Maybe not completely, but he showed a lot of it against Judah, and then almost primarily operated in a jab-first style against Mosley. He did mix it up some, but for the most part, he fought a very controlled style in the fight against Mosley.

This definately isn't the same dude who fought Ricardo Torres.

Mosley is NO Richardo Torres. You can't look as good in every fight. It's not Cotto, it's the level of the competition he has fought. It was close fight against Mosley BUT I was suprised how many times he caught Mosley with clean punches. Sure it has alot to do with Mosley slowing down but STILL.

I picked Mosley and I was wrong.

watch the de la hoya fight and the first round of the hatton fight the problem is they were both dumbasses and couldn't follow their gameplan.


watch especially the de la hoya fight those jabs were getting in like crazy.

It's funny how all these fighters can't seem to follow their game plan for a full 12 rounds once they step in the ring with Floyd.

I'm sure it has had nothing to do with what Floyd was doing. Nahhhhh, couldn't be.

What a dip****.

Cotto has the best chance of knocking floyd out and really hurting him.. but if it comes down to a decison... NO ONE can win more rounds then pretty boy.

[Jim Jeffries]

I think Williams has the best chance of anyone at WW of beating Floyd right now though that fight will never happen because no one wants to fight him and so he won't be a big enough name before Floyd retires for good. Cotto has a decent chance especially if Floyd only fights once this year which is what it's looking like. Cotto will be somewhere between a 2 and 3 to one dog, which will be about right.

Could and definitely don't belong next to each other in a sentence, I don't think.

[ml2niceguy]

ring is owned by oscar? wtf

[Weebler I]

they won't let Mayweather lose to Cotto. Mayweather is their cash cow who rakes it in.

If he's going to lose, they won't let it happen to an outsider.
