Miguel Cotto is not ready for Mayweather yet.

[Vladimir303]

Anyone who doesn't see Margarito and Cotto as serious threats to Mayweather does not know much about boxing. There's a reason Mayweather wants no part of either of these men. It's very obvious he doesn't want to face fighters who are much bigger than him and will bring nonstop pressure and power.

Can you honestly say that Margarito would do any better then Corrales vs Floyd? What does Margarito have that Corrales didn't. More punching power? It you're slow and aren't landing anything then it's not an issue.

[oldgringo]

Cottos been dropped at 140?

Floyds never been dropped?


If floyd stood toe to toe with cotto, you think cotto would land more flush shots on floyd than floyd would cotto?

Floyd would roll every single punch... cotto just stands there with his hands in front of his face...

Cotto doesnt have one talent better than floyds, except maybe power.. but ill take speed and accuracy with defense over power any day...

We all saw how power helped oscar

If Floyd stood in front of Cotto he'd be battered.

Dude, check this out...you gotta REALIZE something. First, Hatton although a pressure fighter as you said, was FORCED up in weight to 147, by Mayweather, knowing Hatton has problems at 147 (Luis Collazo ALMOST beat him at 147!) Second, Mayweather KNOWS, that he will not able to keep Cotto from coming after him. Like De La Hoya who threw nasty combos at Trinidad, but couldn't hurt him and kept on coming, There is NOTHING...ABSOLUTELY "NOTHING", Maywether can throw at Miguel Cotto to take him out. Floyd Mayweather can WIN against Miguel Cotto, but believe me when I tell you, Mayweather CAN NOT "BEAT" Cotto in a FIGHT. You do know the difference between WIN and BEAT, right??

Sure he can. He can box his socks off and leave him a bloody mess. To me that is beating somebody in a fight. You don't have to stand in front of somebody to prove your manhood to a buncha nitwitts.

I disagree. IF Mosley could stand in front of Cotto for alot of rounds and take it, then so can Floyd. You forget that Floyd has the best defense in the game. Standing in front of Cotto doesn't mean he will stick his chin out and invite Cotto to hit him.

More power, better chin, and he's much bigger. Oh, and Margarito isn't going to prison right after the fight either...

dude, do you go to school?

with this 1 quote no1 would take this thread seriously

To say floyd has a better chin than cotto is completely and utterly shallowly opinion based.

Floyd has never been dropped.. never even been wobbled... he might of lost his balance a few times, but never once has he been hurt.

Cotto was rocked 2 - 3 times in the Judah fight and has been on the canvas before?

For you to say cotto has a better chin just doesnt make one aiota of factual sense.

Clottey was counter punching Margarito's head off until he injured himself. Now Floyd is a much better and more versatille fighter then Clottey and would finish the job.

Margarito has nothing on Floyd. Too slow. In fact lets see how he handles Cintron in the rematch.

I retract what I said... I thought you were talking about cotto not margarito... apologies

[Guest]

Yeah, nearly thought you were being serious, then i remember mayweather fought a near 160 pound de la hoya and that Margarito couldnt even handle daniel santos at 154.

Other than power, cotto doesnt have one single attribute over floyd that i can think of.

The way mayweather thinks is what wins him fights, you watch his video on you tube when he explains his defence, its deep ****, he knows whats coming from the guy the moment they attempt to throw it, he has 2/3 multiple ways of defending and countering a single punch, his style is unreadable because he doesnt telegraph as much, throws from angles and throws when your not ready for the punch, changes rythms and fight plans mid fight, sells fighters dummy punches and fients repeatedly to make them prepare for a certain punch, before he changes and does the complete opposite.

The guy's boxing brain is crazy.

The thing about DLH is that, besides being washed up, he's not a real pressure fighter. He tried to apply pressure, but he's not relentless like Margarito or Cotto. He doesn't know how to cut off the ring. He looked like garbage on the inside, whereas Margarito and Cotto would severely punish Mayweather in the trenches.
