    You know I will. I mean Cotto vs Jennings is not that bad of a fight, what piss me of is that it will be a title fight, wich I think is Bull ****. There still Rubio vs Pavlik, wich people will be surprise as how well Rubio will do and the Duddy fight. So its not that bad.
    cotto wont slip floyd punches tho.... 2 fast, 2 accurate.... and i dont see cotto landing clean shots on floyd..... i see floyd tkoing cotto if they were to fight imho

      Where di you get the idea that he can take Mayweather's right hand all night. Mosley made hima cautious, and Mayweather would land at a much higher percentage.

      I already talked about the jab in the other post.

      As for bodypunching, I am quite interested to see how Cotto would take Mayweather's bodyshots.

        I also think Cotto is the one who has the best chance against Mayweather. Strong puncher, great timing, and very patient. And i dont care what anyone here says, Cotto has a good chin.

          yeah... Mayweather got one...maybe and gave an immediate rematch, which he won convincingly.

          Can't say that about Calzaghe.

            Castillo proved that to get close to beating Mayweather, you need to fight him when he is injured.

            Are they showing Pavlik-Rubio as well on tv.

            I think Vanda-Duddy will be 'fun' nut nothing to die for.
            Wrong buddy. Mosley is taller have more reach than Gayweather and Cottos jab was the most effective punch in the fight. You really dont pay attetion to fights. Cottos Jab and timming is top best in the sport today!!!!!!!!!

            And castillo prove that if you come close to beat Mayweather, he`ll duck the rest of the top guys!!!!!!!!!!

              Personally, I think Cotto would be able to slip Mayweather's lead right. Like I said he telegraphs it a second or so before he throws it.

              One problem I see with Cotto is that he throws a power jab rather than a quick jab...which would give Mayweather more time to throw a counter right, which is far, far harder to slip.

              Interesting match though, especially if Cotto was able to land bombs to the ribs. Might slow down those counter-rights of Floyd.

                He looked a little wobbly at 140, but looks pretty sturdy at 147.

                  First where did you got the Idea, of Floyd hitting harder than Mosley. Second, if Mayweather starts throwing more punches that will make him more vurnerable to get hit back. What do you think that Cotto will let Mayweather hit at will and he wont throw back?? In order to hit Cotto he will have to engage, and when he does hell get his ass timed by Cottos jab and Body punches!!!!!

                  Cotto took Moselys and Margarito(With Plaster) Shots very well!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                      Floyd doesnt have the Power to KO, plus he doesnt Throw enough to KO a guy like Cotto. He wont risk getting his ass hit . Mayweather can certainlky UD Cotto, put saying hell KO Cotto is absurd!!!!!!!!!!!!!
