Miguel Cotto is not ready for Mayweather yet.

[THE REED]

yea he did but he look like he was trying to beat floyd up and he did more to floyd than oscar did .oscar looked content with just walking floyd down

Does that include the low blows and hayemaker to the back of the head? after zab was feeling so "comfortable"... and then started getting beaten at his own game for the rest of the fight... AFTER floyd was low blowed and rabbit punched.

Dont ever use the word Zab and comfortable in the same sentence again.

yeah, i hear you man. The point I was trying to make is simple...

Beating = means "KO".
Winning = means Split Decision, UD, or MD.

What you said still constitues as "Winning". Mayweather "CAN NOT" beat Miguel Cotto by KO. Like I said, Mayweather can win Cotto by SD, UD..but not by KO.

This is what they said when he was scheduled to fight RickY Hatton. They said, he will only win by decision by running all night. Turns out he delivered a cartoonish highlight reel type knockout against Hatton.

Never say Never.

what does weight class have to do with speed?

Gee I dont know.... EVERYTHING?

[pbftxrs316]

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.

that's what oscar, mosley, cotto, and hotton has done to name a few, so like in the baldomir fight, oscar saw floyd not looking too offensive against him, then he accepted the fight, and cotto and hatton saw floyd kill gatti, and they kept the **** quiet until recently. i'm telling you this **** right now and i don't care who agrees or not. cotto was absolutely scared as **** after watching how floyd fought gatti at 140. i still don't think he really wants floyd, but i would love to see them fight, and he is the guy for floyd right now, but let's wait and see how they both fight this year to continue further.

Do we really need to explain this to ya. If you're a blown up welterweight fighting at 160, that slows you down. Floyd at 160 would be much slower then he is now. Hell right now at 147, Floyd is slower then he was at 135.


True story.

yes all of that is included.the fact is when people think of fighters that have been most succesfull against floyd they think of castillo and zab

floyd is not slower you just don't see him fight as much as when he was at 135.oscar fights at 154 middleweight is only 6 pounds above that

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.

there is alot of flawed logic in your post although I do agree with one thing, cotto is not ready for mayweather. but he will never be so.....

cotto doesn't need to fight cintron or marg to get ready for mayweather cuz they don't fight anything like mayweather. beating them won't prove anything. mosley was the closest thing to mayweather that he could fight at welter so he is as ready as he will ever be.

Also, I don't know how you are comparing cotto and hatton cuz they are not that comparable. cotto is a far more techniquely sound fighter than hatton. and he knows to keep his gloves up when coming in close and has a much better counter not to mention a longer reach.

Re****yaluss,

Check post # 78. I hope he takes the bet.

[THE REED]

floyd is not slower you just don't see him fight as much as when he was at 135.oscar fights at 154 middleweight is only 6 pounds above that

FLOYD IS SLOWER AT 147 THAN HE IS AT 135


if you add more weight to ANYTHING it will be slower

Floyd himself will tell you that
