If De La Hoya Couldnt Hurt Mayweather... .. .

[Bad Intentions]

cotto has beat better welterweights than margarito and floyd. so why can't he get a shot at floyd?

he should but Mayweather has the delahoya rematch in september, if not for that then yeah id rather see him fight Cotto now. but untill then Margarito and Cotto might as well get it on.

[Bad Intentions]

i'm saying i don't know who has a better chin the only time i have seen paulie dropped was against cotto and floyd did look hurt against corley

lol Floyd looked hurt against Corley, did u see what Corley did to Cotto?

alright. i have no problems with that

oscar was bigger than mayweather which is why i think his jab worked when he used it, Cotto is smaller than Floyd I believe, i think Floyd will box Cottos ears off. Maybe KOing him

Oscar is taller/longer than Mayweather by a small margin, Mayweather is taller/longer than Cotto by a small margin. Mayweather is smaller than both guys though, and Cotto's chin is much better at Welterweight so far, and he's much better technically as a pressure fighter than Hatton, so I find it unlikely Floyd would KO him though winning by UD wouldn't surprise me. Cotto's jab is in its own way better than DLH's at this point imo, it's fast, powerful, and he uses it all the time(and Floyd honestly hasn't faced many guys with a good jab) so I think he would find the same success against Floyd with it.

All this said, the fight needs to get made to find out, and again, most indications are the problem is on Floyd's end, not Cotto's.

thats not the point.the point is i don't know how you assume floyd has a better chin than paulie wen i never seen paulie hurt. yea corley had cotto hurt but cotto is the only man to knock corley out

how many times was corley down in that fight? about 4 and it was only the 5 round, it wasn't gonna get no better

So Cotto will have no problem with the best boxer in the world???


GTFO

I didn't say that Cotto would have no problem with Floyd. I just said that Cotto's jab will probably be effective against Floyd, because Floyd really hasn't faced many guys with a good jab and those he has faced have been successful against him with it. But again, we won't know for certain because Floyd will be fighting Big Show and Oscar this year, and shows little indication that he'll make the fight after that, though there are signs that he'll rematch Hatton

The only thing that makes me think that Cotto has a chance to hurt him, is that he handled Zab's and Mosley's speed.
