It's not Cotto's style that could beat Floyd, but Cotto's intelligence

    That's exactly why Cotto will lose, his ring intelligence is nowhere near Floyd's. He will get outsmarted in everyway on route to a Unanimous decision in Floyd's favor.

    On a side note 25 is a Floyd stan that doesn't realize it.

      Boxing analysts say Mayweather is one of the smartest fighters in the game, ever.

        You did - you said his intelligence could beat Floyd. Do I have to walk you through an explanation of how using your intelligence to beat another fighter means that you're at least as smart as he is, if not more?

          Cotto is not a smarter fighter than Mayweather, and no cotto dosent get discoraged when things are not going his way... HE JUST HITS YOU WITH A FEW LOW-BLOWS.

              This **** is just sad, disgusting and reaching for **** that aint even remotely true. Cotto isn't even close to PBF in ring smarts. This thread is just ****ed up.

              2501 are you extremely bored today?

                Are you talking about where I used the word "If" as shown in the quote below in red?

                Are you familiar with that word? If not, let me show you what the definition is.

                If:
                In case that; granting or supposing that; on condition that:

                Now, again I'm going to ask you, where did I make that suggestion?

                  Lol at everyone thinking that Cotto isn't as smart as Mayweather in the ring. Is it true? Maybe. Has it ever been proven in the ring? **** NO.

                  Both have stayed calm and collected during every fight... except one each.

                  Cotto lost his mind against Torres in my opinion, but not as bad as...

                  Mayweather lost his mind against DeMarcus Corley. He seriously looked like he was on a mission to lose by just all-out brawling.

                    Cotto will need to fight the fight of his life! He's need to bring that 140lb "relentless" style back! I know he's "found" his left jab & his ring "savvy", but if he's 2 cautious that will cause a problem! Mosley doesn't have any defense & footwork, so he was a little more than a stationary target & we all know Judah can't fight backing up. (Tszyu, Baldomir, & Floyd fights) I think while Cotto is trying to get inside or waiting outside (as of late) Floyd would try to move to his left, to keep Cotto's off bay with his left hand & he will get picked off by the right hand over Cotto's jab. I think people are really OVER-ESTIMATING Cotto's boxing skills! Don't get me wrong, Cotto has DEFINTELY improved from the wild swinging, easily hittable, lethargic, walking K.O. moment fighter he once was b-4, but it still seems to me as if Cotto is learning on the fly... For this fight, He can't be content to do 1 thing, he HAS to adjust...CONSTANTLY
                    Castillo had success against Floyd b/c of the MUTIPLE ADJUSTMENTS he made, he came foward at times, others he let Floyd be the aggressor and picked him off with the Jab. They say Floyd was hurt and/or he under-estimated Castillo & it showed! I'm not so sure Cotto is better/experienced than Castillo was at this point, but realistically speaking it's a even-money fight...If Cotto can be the aggressor throwing 3-4 punch combos off the jab, he could keep Floyd in his shell & if he retreats from time to time & off-set Floyd's offense with his jab, then he can have some success...but the thing about Floyd is, people say he is a runner or safety-first & has no heart, but he is always 100% ready & never fights the same! He has a different gameplan & strategy for every opponent! I just hope Forbes beats Oscar ( ) & then Floyd will be forced to fight the winner of the Cotto-Margarito matchup!!
