Miguel Cotto would KO Floyd Mayweather

[Spacey1991]

How can Floyd have a better chance to KO when he is freaking feather fisted!

- When did Cotto gas at 147?

- I think You need to watch Cotto's fight he is very accurate

- Cotto's defence is undareted and how can we know Floyd defence is that great when he never faced competition like Cotto or even Mosley?

Keep it real dude

Your saying Cotto's defense is underrated, but Floyd's power is underrated... if your gonna call Floyd feather fisted people are just gonna say Cotto has **** defense.

Cotto isn't more accurate than Floyd and isn't the fasted or most accurate fighter Floyd has faced so you can't take his defense away from him when talking about this fight.

Name the guys Mayweather has fought that can equal to Cotto or Shane?

Defense is overrated with you guys. OFFENSE WINS THE FIGHT not defense. You need a bad ass offense to *** with Cotto or Shane

Defense is the most important thing in Boxing, it is what makes Floyd so great... you can't go around acting like his ring smarts and defense is overrated because in fairness his ring intelligence and defense is amazing... you can't take that away from him. That would be like me saying Cotto's body punches are overrated.

Name the fighters Cotto has fought to equal with Mayweather...

You need to score to win....No matter what defence you face if you can't out score your opponent you will lose every time.

Mayweather throws less and lands more than his opponent, so where are you getting at... what makes you think Cotto will be any different? I aint saying Cotto can't beat Floyd he is a great fighter and obviously has a punchers chance but you acting like he walks through Floyd.

******ed post Shane is a world clas fighter with world class skills. if hes not accurate than your not smart

Shane is accurate and I disagree with the person who said he isn't.

Your posts are so ****** man... can't you just have a serious talk without hating and making ****** comments?

Just ignore him mate...

so mosley aint accurate? now your lying to yourself. mosley's accurate punching is what beat a prime oscar. and floyd got a split decision over a past his prime oscar becavse of his accurate punching. if mosley isnt accurate, he doesnt beat a prime oscar twice.

oscar fought just like a cali mexican in the first fight. if he would have at least tried to make it a boxing match, he wouldve had a better chance.

Thats mosley's style, a fight. As a boxer, i really dont see shane knocking anyone out.

Maywether will destroy cotto if fights happen

I will stick to that prediction tuill they fight, whether Im riught or wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fair play to ya, sticking by your guns...

I've noticed with Floyd, though, like several of the sport's elite, boxers make a solid game plan against him. They analyze tape, plot their strengths and his weaknesses, very technically try and dissect him and overcome the ability he shows in the ring- and then, on fight night, it fizzles out.

I've noticed that I often watch Mayweather throw away the first few rounds. He lets the other guy show his cards first; like he's saying, 'Alright, what are you bringing?' Of course, when his opponent gives him that glimpse, and reveals a strategy, Floyd seems to have the ring intelligence to counter it and, going into the middle rounds, change things up.

Often, like against Judah, I notice the tables turning going into the middle rounds and then the other guy just never gets back into the fight with that same intensity.

For me, the boxer to beat Floyd- barring Mayweather himself losing a step or two from age- will not be someone necessarily stronger, faster, or technically better. It'll be someone who can match his ring intelligence. A fighter with equal ring generalship who, himself, can change tactics on the fly and analyze what Floyd brings.

Is Cotto that fighter to me? I don't think so. Obviously, Floyd can be outgunned against a larger welterweight and, I think, plain lose because he's bullied. Other than that, though, it'll come down to who can out-hustle the hustler; who can out-think Floyd?

That's a good post right there.

I'm not sure I can agree with this. Not taking a particular stance on the outcome of a Cotto-Mayweather clash, I don't know that Floyd's pop is really underrated. Against welterweights power isn't something Mayweather really has. No, I wouldn't use the term 'feather-fisted', but if you throw him in with a big welterweight like Williams, Margarito or Cotto, I'm not sure if Floyd has enough pop to keep those guys honest. Being bullied by a larger man and losing rounds because of it is one of the ways I think I can see Floyd being beat.

wasnt gatti a bigger man as well? Size only help ur punch resistance so much dude.... Plus, floyd is accurate, and doesnt waste energy, so hes likely to be strong throughout the fight.

I aint saying he is a knockout artist, but what I mean is he aint feather fisted like people say... I aint saying he will knock these fighters out at Welterweight, I am just saying many people underrate his power as a fighter... he isn't much of a power puncher but has better power than people think and can use it when he needs too.

All I am saying is, people can't go round saying that Cotto's defense is underrated and then say Floyd is featherfisted... just like people can't say Floyd's power is underrated but Cotto has awful defense... in fairness both fighters are underrated for them.

Obviously Floyd isn't the most powerful puncher, so his power isn't one of his strong points, but it aint as bad as people make out. Just like Cotto's defense aint great, it isn't one of his strong points... but it probably isn't as bad as people make out.

You get what I mean?

Yeah, maybe Gatti was bigger- but Cotto's bigger than Gatti; plus, eventually the line has to be drawn. At some point, keeping getting sequentially larger, and someone is going to be too big for Floyd.

The thing about Gatti was he was just too slow for Mayweather. Sure, maybe his hardest punch would've hurt Floyd, but he looked like he was swimming in molasses compared to Mayweather; three, four punches would land for Floyd for every one Gatti could even attempt to throw.

Cotto is no Gatti. He's far superior. Decent speed and boxing ability- Floyd vs. Cotto wouldn't resemble the Gatti fight at all to me. I'm not saying Cotto would win hands down, I'd have to put more thought into it, but he's becoming the size of fighter than Floyd is going to have to work harder to beat in my mind.

cotto can't beat floyd. his stamina and defense are not good enough.

that said, cotto can make it close and lose by SD.
