Why i think based on style Cotto will beat Floyd

[Terrell Owens]

Thats Castillo.

same person

[-EX-]

here's what it all boils down to right here:

Floyd: Cotto knows he can't beat me. Cotto is a punching bag.

Merchant: Will you fight Cotto?

Floyd: I won't let boxing (Cotto) retire me. I will retire from boxing."

case closed, game set and match, checkmate, Cotto - without even having had to land a single punch. Cotto's confidence has killed floyd.

So if they fight in the future you will look like a complete dumbass.

Only way Cotto beats Floyd is by KO. Floyd can adjust to anything in the ring. He can walk you down, fight going backwards, fight off the ropes, inside,etc. Cotto would have to break him down and unlike Mosley, Floyd won't stand there and let you do that. I could picture Floyd giving Cotto different looks and by round 5 or 6 Cotto getting pissed off.

BTW I think Oscar is a better complete boxer than Cotto(not saying he'd beat Cotto).

well apparently Cotto was'nt supposed to be able to beat Mosley in using any tactic Fighting or Boxing & he did both ,he was supposed to get KTFO in 4/5 rounds that did'nt happen ,****in everybody on NSB said Mosley would KO him now they are Cotto fans ,fickle or what LOL

Castillo is nowhere near as good as Cotto IMO and he decisioned Mayeather allthough he did'nt get the verdict ,so its not out of realms of possibility that Cotto could'nt decision him aswell ,i take the point about the rematch but the fact is that fight still happened & in a lot of peoples eyes Castillo still won

HAHA YOU DUMB ASS! FLOYD AINT NEVER BEEN BEAT!

So how cotto gone **** up his ****? ricky fatton knocked him out wid that mad body shot and floyd already beaten him twice before

cuz i used to be his biggest fan and ive analized all his big fights. hes turned into a pop culture *****, and you are the same if you are still on his **** like i was. and no you dont get an essay or anyhting explaining my views, not unless its going on my transcript. and wtf is up with all this ****** analysis? floyd lost to oscar on one card. cotto is younger stronger and better. do the math

Well he boxed after he had already broke Mosley down. I don't think he would have boxed like that early on. And when he was boxing Mosley wasn't really letting his hands go. I don't know what fool said Cotto was gonna get KTFO in 4 or 5 rounds. And Floyd beat Castillo closely in my book and that fight was over 5 YEARS AGO and Floyd was injured. I'm sure Floyd is better now than he was then. Totally different weightclass as well.

BTW Floyd is a far better technical fighter than Shane. Shane is stronger but Floyd is much more polished.

why i think based on style Cotto will beat Floyd

Cotto is much different to Hatton

Hatton does'nt jab ,he Fights with his face & relies on feints & Head movement to get inside & he is way to impatient when he is trying to work his way in ,and he keeps his hands somewhere by his chest ,he exclusively throws Hooks & hardly any straight shots what so ever ,smouthers himself on the inside aswsell

Cotto has a good jab ,he is very patient at working his way inside ,does'nt need to rely on the referee to allow him to push his oponent into the ropes so he can land his body shots like Hatton ,he is capable of mixing in Body shots off his combintations ,he keeps his chin tucked in & his hands high ,he is very good at cutting down the ring & he is relentless ,he does throw straight shots down the middle unlike Hatton & if FLoyd is vulnerable to any shots it is the right hand down the middle Castillo caught him with it quite a few times in both fights ,Hatton needed the jab Dela Hoya used to keep Mayweather where he wanted him & the Right hands down the pipe that Castillo hit Floyd with & he needed to be able to cut the ring down like Cotto does ,as it was he did'nt have a jab or any straight shots & he followed PBF around the ring & got caught walking in a straight line being impatient to get inside again as i pointed out

Cotto has all those qualities i mentioned ,allthough i think Cotto has a tough fight coming up with Gomez u may laugh but ill bet Gomez turns out to be a tough nut to crack for Cotto

Except Cotto seems to be very open for the right hand counter and the right hand uppercut. I think Floyd will use that to win the fight. If Cotto backs up Mayweather up with the jab to the ropes, Cotto will (should) go to the body.

That however, leaves him wide open for the right hand uppercut or the right hand. When Mosley was outboxing Cotto and not trading he was winning. Even Quintana had 2 good boxing rounds against Cotto. Malinaggi had some sucess (even though Cotto is a lot better now) outboxing him.

Also, in the rematch with Oscar, Floyd will (hopefully) get used to the jab and will deal with it once he will get to Cotto. Floyd did a lot better in the rematch with Castillo and has learned to deal with agression better then ever. Floyd didn't have that much of a ring to work with against Oscar which is why I think he got bullied into the ropes so many times (though the jab did help a lot).

For me I'd have Mayweather countering Cotto/Pot shotting/ then throw combinations every here and there. That's going to be a lot more difficult if Cotto keeps that impressive speed he showed at the begining of the Mosley fight though.

So it might be close, but I can Mayweather winning 116-112 or 115-113.

a lot of exxcuses coming from your direction about Floyd

go back and check the forum there was loads of people saying Cotto was gonna get chinned inside 4/5 rounds , ill bet u did'nt say that did ill bet u were'nt one of those people who picked Lacy over Zag either where u

Hindsight is a wonderfull thing eh

he beat Castillo that must have been why Roger Mayeather told him to stand lflat footed & take it to Castillo in the last round LOL ,

You was on money mays ****?

the ****?

[warp1432]

Notice how he said closely. I too think Mayweather edged out a close fight against Castillo.

He totally dominated him in the rematch though. I still struggle how people find that fight 115-113.

well he would look like a complete ass if he said he won clearly would'nt he ,especially when his own corner man was telling him to go flat footed & stand & trade with Castillo
