If Cotto couldn't even hang with Margarito for 12 rounds...

[Easy-E]

I disagree. Floyd would not put the pressure on him that Margarito did. The fights would look totally different. Cotto's jab would give Floyd some problems.

It would probably take Floyd around 4 or 5 rounds to settle in, figure him out, and get comfortable.

We all know that Floyd is significantly more skilled than Cotto. No one is gonna argue against that. But Cotto is well rounded enough to give Floyd is toughest test out of the current group of fighters that could potentially fight him. He wouldn't just come straight forward throwing punches. That's not how Cotto fights. He'd use selective pressure, I think it'd be like a game of chess in there for a while. That is, until Floyd puts him in and keeps him in check.

I agree that the fight would not look the same, or even close to the Marg fight, but I am saying the skill set Cotto displayed in the fight is living proof he would not be able to hang with Floyd. He does not have the skills to compete with Floyd.

The fight will never happen, we all know why.

agreed. why would Cotto want a guranteed L on his record?

[PRPP]

Mosley had little energy, and tried to outbox Cotto and shyed away from his unique style of boxing and slugging utilizing his speed. I would favor Mosley in a rematch, but that is just me.

How can you open up a ****** ass thread and then give out (Reds) for anybody who disagree's with you?


YOUR ***** MADE, SON!!!!

How can you think he would beat Floyd?
He couldnt even outbox the slow, plodding Margarito, something Williams and Mosley were both able to do.
Fact is, he doesnt have the speed, agility, footwork or defense to hang with a fighter the caliber of Floyd.

By the way, any "styles make fights!" posts will be dismissed with a massive LOL, considering these posters are assuming Cotto is going to be agressive and try and bully Floyd, which is exactly what Floyd would want him to do, and he would pick him apart and stop him accordingly.

What is this...March 2008?

You're just as bad.

All of you need to shut up about this crap.


There are so many 'coulda/shoulda/woulda' scenarios issued in defence of Floyd because there are so many jackasses on this site yapping how X fighter coulda/shoulda/woulda whooped him if only Floyd wasn't "scared" to fight.

You're ALL obsessed with this petty bull****. And none of you are better than each other.

this is a boxing forum, it is obvious that potential fights/matchups are going to be discussed.

[Walt Liquor]

wrong. reread the post and the REASONING behind what I said. Look at my posts throughout the thread. I did not say because Cotto LOST to Tony he cant beat Floyd. I said he displayed serious flaws in his overall boxing ability including footwork, agility, handspeed and defense, that would make a Floyd matchup a sure loss.

hahahahahahahaha. jose luis castillo gave floyd all he could handle when floyd was still fighting and he was also deficient in footwork, agility, handspeed, and defense to floyd. maybe you should be a boxing analyst.
