Mayweather vs. Marquez: Juan Seriously After Floyd

[GRUSTLER]

Miguel Cotto is definitely a strong fighter & can turn up the heat in the ring on a boxer that cannot match his pressure & power but against someone that he cannot intimidate then he has a problem. I see a Cotto/Mayweather fight as simple as this, Cotto could come out & try to out box Floyd like he did Mosley to some degree but WE all know that Cotto cannot match Floyd's skills as a ring technician & doesn't have the mental to adapt properly in a pressuring situation. Cotto could pressure Floyd and bring the
fight to him but I think Floyd is used to pressure by now and fights very good & accurate on the inside.

Cotto definitely trumps Floyd in the power department but he doesn't put emphasis on defense & Floyd is just too accurate for Cotto to go in charging with his head down. No other fighter slips punches & has defense like Floyd in the sport. People cannot really compare De La Hoya to Cotto in regards to how Floyd would fight because Oscar was fighting comfortable at 154 & is 5'11" Floyd moved up and I think on fight night he was only 148 & Oscar was 160. Cotto & Floyd are basically the same height. Cotto is 5'7" & Floyd is 5'8" Floyd has him by an inch & is in better condition to go 12rds and gets better doing it.

I think Cotto has a punchers chance but if you look at everything in a whole, Cotto is not as skilled as PBF & in order to beat Floyd you have to out think him & after watching Cotto/Margarito I just don't feel Cotto is tactical enough to make Floyd fight his fight or smart enough to throw Floyd off of his game. I don't say this because I'm a PBF fan I say this because I just can't see Cotto beating PBF, but hey that's just how I feel but I would have LOVED to see them fight. Wish Cotto beat Marg then De La Hoya and became P4P#1, then I'm sure that fight would have been possible.

Correction, Floyd came to the ring at 150 and De La Hoya 154. I watched the fight again and I have to admit that Oscar made it competitive but Floyd was just too accurate and he displayed a good chin in that fight especially when Oscar popped Floyd with that left jab. I think PBF with all the smack he talked about Oscar he showed that he had a respect for Oscar's power & didn't take him lightly. Oscar is a big puncher. I can also see that Oscar was by far a better fighter in his fight with Floyd then he was with Pacquiao.

Correction, Floyd came to the ring at 150 and De La Hoya 154. I

WRONG.

That is the weigh in. Mayweather fight night was 148 and Oscar was 160 or even over.

Floyd NEVER ducked Mosley......

i think mosleys style would ko mayweather he knows to the nth degree floyds style,those shoulder rolls and backpedaling wouldnt work on mosley this is why /floyd has dodged mosley for 5 years now at least.the guy hasnt even comeout for pacman cmon floyd is the most overrated fighter out there by and far.top three welters would beat floyd for sure

Mosley wanted to go back down to the welterweight division he once dominated after the first fight, but the rematch (VARGAS) kept him at junior middleweight. Now, he intends to go back to 147 pounds.

Waiting for him could be a mega fight against pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather would like the fight in November, but Mosley said he doesn't even plan to resume training until November.

"You know Antonio Margarito is out there waiting to fight Floyd," said Mosley, who earned about $4 million plus a percentage of pay-per-view profits. "Those guys should fight each other and we can fight next year. The only thing I know is my tooth is a little lose and I might have to go to the dentist."

Cotto Beats Mayweather. Cotto's going to cut that ring and make him pay. Mayweather was the pound for pound because of his style not because he fought the best, which is a disgrace.

WRONG.

That is the weigh in. Mayweather fight night was 148 and Oscar was 160 or even over.

So I had it right the first time. I got the weigh in mixed up with fight night. Thanks for pointing that out.

Funny, Pac vs Floyd is acceptable but not JMM vs PBF?

Obviously the is not happening.

[Del Coqui]

WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez, and manager/trainer Nacho Berestain have spoken out in the Mexican press about their position on fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. After Marquez stopped Juan Diaz last Saturday in Texas, he called for a fight with Mayweather, who is technically retired and inactive since December 2007. [details]

The only thing I like about this fight is that Marquez really deserves a big pay day. For Floyd, just another day in the office, has to be the huge favorite fighting a way smaller guy and calling all the shots.

Thats what i dont understand, If JMM and pacman are the same size and they both fought to two close fights and people want Mayweather to fight Pacman at 147 why cant JMM ask for a Mayweather fight at 140???

Mayweather is a huge favourite fighting anyone from 154 downwards.
