Floyd vs Cotto would be BIGGER next year!

[JC Warrior]

Floyd wins this and makes it a snoozer anytime they fight. Only grossly inferior opponents bring out the beast in Floyd (Gatti anyone?). Skilled fighters (Oscar) tend to bring out the smarter, more cautious, boring Mayweather...and that cautious version is probably not beatable by anyone active.

I hope it's sooner rather than later because I want both men to go into the fight with thier 100% records and with Cotto fighting Margarito theres a good chance for an upset.

Very accurate and good post.

I think Mayweather has a better chance of winning if he fights Cotto now.
By this time next year Cotto will be a very experienced, comforatble WW and IMO too big , too strong and hitting too hard for Maywether to be effective against. Most people don't realize that Maywether has NO punching power at 147 or higher. His light punches won't be enough to keep a head hunter like Cotto off him. And Cotto won't be jumping in with his head down alla Hatton.

I just don't see Floyd winning this fight even with his superior speed, movement and defense....

Don't forget Cotto's questionable chin though, with floyds accuracy and speed he might rock Cotto and actually finish him. Also if cotto does get too big thats just worse for him cus he's gonna be hitting air all night long.

you know, i've heard many people say cotto's chin is questionable, but i just don't see how. he's been down a few times and always gotten up to ko the other fighter, (alla pavlik/taylor) maybe it tends to suggest more that he can take a HELL of a punch?

but the bigger issue is, other than hatton and gatti both jr welters and a small variety of "B" fighters, who has mayweather been able to ko or muchless hurt? the only two "elite" fighters he has ever stopped were chavez (past his prime) and corrales (many personal issues outside the ring)


imo, he has no power above 140 and he's too small for an "elite" ww. floyd huggers should get ready for the same thing to happen to floyd as it did to PW, only Cotto hits much harder....

if shane couldn't do it at ww, there is no way floyd can do it.
shane is a better fighter, not boxer, than fm, he's bigger and stronger and just about as fast.

i just don't see anyway fm wins this fight. he can run and pot shot but he won't be able to keep cotto off, IMO...

No it just means his opponents couldn't finish the job, thats why I said if may does rock cotto he might actually be the one to finish him this time. Now I'm not saying may is gonna knock him out but if it gets to the point where cotto's is rocked then floyd will finish him.

Shane is kinda past it already and his mistake was to fight Cotto's fight he would have won if he sticked to just boxing but he wanted to square up with cotto and thats what cost him the fight. Don't expect for floyd to make that mistake.

Thats what people said about hatton that floyd wasn't gonna be able to keep him off and look what happened.
