The Manny/Floyd/Cotto Triangle (This Is An Intelligent Discussion No Huggers Allowed)

[Ravishing]

I believe Cotto could beat both Pacquiao and Floyd and has already beaten Shane. We just need for the fights to happen already.

[FMJ The Best]

Wrong fight or not.

Assuming plaster was involved.

Had it not been, Cotto wouldn't have been beaten.

He would have lasted until the end.

floyd mayweather jr = pure boxer(meaning outboxer, defensively oriented)
i can see him losing to both, and i can see him beating both.some posters are to quick to say so and so would be and easy fight for floyd.and that is absolutly bull****, when all you are doing is looking at a one fighters abilty and not looking at his opponents attributes, and what he would do vs floyd.
imo, a seek and destroy cotto (the one in the quintana for example, where he showed speed and assertiveness) would beat floyd. a patient, boxing cotto would lose an easy lopsided decision.he does not have the physical attributes to compete with floyd's speed in a chessmatch.

manny pacquiao=boxer puncher
( like cotto, can box and punch, and is a slugger/swarmer with better footspeed than cotto)

a manny fight would be a very close fight no matter what anybody tells you.
he has the southpaw stance, speed and punching power to trouble floyd.we all saw what hatton's footspeed did to floyd.add a non stop attack of speed and power, and floyd would have himself a war he could very well lose.


miguel cotto=boxer puncher

(can box and punch, and a bit slugger/swarmer minded)



a pacquiao fight would be like if the actual cold war went down.and incredible tactical war between two of boxing's most exciting fighters.
i believe that cotto has very similar ability to juan manuel marquez, only he's stronger and bigger than marquez.

pacquiao has alot of attributes that would trouble cotto, in his overall speed
and power.manny's defense is greatly improved as well; this fight would be a tad reminiscent of camacho vs rosario.

overall at this point (unless proven other wise by cotto in his next fight)
cotto loses to floyd, beats manny
floyd beats cotto, loses to manny
manny beats floyd, loses to cotto

how is the best inside fighter of the three the "outboxer"?

[nachorjj]

in my opinion floyd put KO cotto and manny in the last rounds

[Pullcounter]

I think you left out mosley...

[FMJ The Best]

Mosley is out of the equation. Do your research.

[skullduggery]

Mosley is out of the equation. Do your research.

you dont own the mayweather mafia.... we own you!

[Jean28]

You want me to be COMPLETELY honest?
Any of these 3 guys could beat the other 2 as long as they come very well trained and with the right gameplan.

Mayweather can beat Cotto and Pac...
Pac can beat Cotto and Mayweather...
Cotto can beat Pac and Maywearther...

but that doesnt mean #1, #2, or #3 will.

[El Dominicano]

Mayweather would K.O Pacquiao late and U.D Cotto

[el malo]

Well i hope your right about pac beating floyd cuz then we WILL see pac vs cotto. But if floyd wins, he then retires and floyd vs cotto DOES NOT happen. I got floyd beating pac, cotto beating floyd and pac.
