Miguel Cotto is not ready for Mayweather yet.

[frankpaganini]

i say if cotto doesnt deserve the fight with mayweather or isnt ready (according to the threadstarter) the only other two opponents that i dont have to think about being ready are Oscar de La hoya (who he's fought once in a close fight and is fighting again) and a catch weight fight with manny pacquiao...

beyond that almost another other fighter against floyd would definately lose and it wouldnt be hard to determine that...

who are you going to put in there with mayweather?
kermit cintron - mayweather wins by wide UD
Margarito - Floyd wins by UD
Quintana - floyd spanks him bad in a UD
Mayoraga? - yeah right...floyd spanks him in a huge UD...

other than de la hoya; cotto; and pacquiao the guy who would have the best chance is probably shane mosley who is falling out his prime and would have to have the fight of his life and then some...mayweather would probably win via majority decision.

unless cotto PROVES he's not ready (by dropping the gomez fight or mayorga fight) he's the best fighter in the welterweight division today...besides mayweather...

So who do you think does deserve to fight PBF?

I do think Cotto deserves to fight Mayweather but what i'm saying is mayweather has a lot more experience that Cotto and i think at this point in time Cotto would lose. I think Cotto 3-5 fights down the line would give him that bit more experience, knowledge and skill to beat Mayweather.

now with you saying that i agree...

time can only hurt mayweather and benefit cotto...

mayweather gets older and cotto glides deeper into his prime (which i think cotto is either just entering or about to enter his prime)...

but cotto needs to fight guys besides gomez and mayorga...

one too inexperienced and one too old...

again ur not making sense.


cotto has fought every kind of style and every kind of fighter.cotto is just fighting somebody ho has all types of styles cotto will adapt to it and HE WILL WIN.

Who ever gives Kermit Cintron a serious chance against floyd mayweather should be sterilised.

Miguel Cotto knows he isnt ready to fight floyd mayweather jr in his prime, come on man, how can people not see this ****, cotto saying "I just fight who my promoter tells me to fight", **** off with that ****, he went to two mayweather fights hoping to see him look like **** or see a weakness that would give him confidence, he got nothing. Cotto is a good fighter who actually improves each time he fights, but prime mayweather should win the fight, styistically, the attitrubutes are not in his favor and he knows it, which is why him and arum will wait until they see a weakness in mayweather.

Guys like Vernon Forrest will give mayweather problems (to be honest, right now id pick mayweather in that fight, but forrest is coming back) cotto doesnt have those attriubutes.

First things first I know Hatton and Cotto are completely different fighters but they are both pressure fighters. Hatton was not ready to fight Mayweather and Hatton got knocked out. Yes Hatton was the best at junior welter weight but he had just not even fought anyone near to the prime class of Mayweather.

If Hatton was to fight his top opponents in junior welter weight rather than people like Carlos Mousse it would of made him a better boxer. Why does beating Juan Urango at welterweigh make him think he is good enough to step up? Hatton needed to work his way up the welterweight ranks if he wanted to beat Floyd.

Now with Cotto, Yes he has fought a lot better opponents but he needs to fight the current best welterweights in Kermit Cintron or Antonio Margarito, so Cotto needs to fight the winner of this fight as a good tester to see if he is ready for Floyd.

After Alfonso Gomez and Ricardo Mayorga then the winner of Cintron or Margarito (for IBF title) providing Cotto wins he then shall be really because lets get things straigh he is only most likely to get one shoot at Floyd so he need to be at the very top of his game.

Let me guess, you're British? Use some plain and basic common sense, will ya?

Thats what people on this site don't get..... like i say Cotto will of improved a lot by 3-5 fights giving him a good change of winning. If cotto fought mayweather next he would lose.
