Can all my fellow PRicans FINALLY admit that Floyd would EMBARRASS Cotto?!

[North Star]

All last night's fight against JMM showed me with regards to Cotto is that Miguel would have destroyed JMM at any weight. JMM is one of my fav's because he is crafty, has the will to continue through adversity, and sticks to his gameplans. However, he does get hit very easily as his defense is average. He gets nailed and dropped by almost everyone he fights, be so far he has gotten back up and finished the fight, whether he wins or not.

Last night's fight proved that Cotto is in fact the better boxer, better counter puncher, and more intelligent. JMM never adpated to Floyd or changed tactics, all he did was chase Floyd and look to unleash combos hoping at least one punch would land. With Cotto, if he doesn't find success one way, he will adjust and come with a different look. If Cotto were to fight Floyd, his greatest asset will be his hard and fast jab which he throws off rhythm. By doing that he catches opponents in unexpected spots. If he does this with Floyd, he will have opportunites to follow up with quick hooks to the body. Easier said than done, but it is very likely that Cotto can get it done.

With all that said, Floyd was superb last night. His defense and speed was a beauty to watch! To hell with the weight excuse!

If replies like these keep popping up, I'm gonna have to make a thread asking why do the Cotto fans only reply with "hater" when someone doesn't think Cotto is all that. Seriously, very few Cotto fans seem to go into detail about why he would beat everybody.

You want details look for his videos, he already HAS beat almost everyone you moron,, only pac and gayweather is left,, and they are the next victims

Thats where your mistaking, FLoyd doesnt take his oppenets strengths away, he uses them in his own favor.

I see Cotoo vs Floyd similar to Hatton vs FLoyd, but Cotto getting hit way less than hatton did and punishing FLoyd to the body a lot!!!!!


By the way yiu sound all smart and all when talking about your strategy but all what you saying is that, Floyd i something he aint.

All of the sudden Cotto he will do evrything better than Ccotto, wich he clrealy doesnt do!!!!!!!!!

How is using your opponent's strengh in YOUR favor different from taking them away?

The only things that Cotto does better than Floyd is cutting of the ring (and he doesn't do it anymore), and he is obviously more powerful. Floyd has all the advantages everywhere else - faster, smarter, more stamina, better adaptability, better defense, better footwork, better chin, so on and so on.

Faster - I believe Marquez is a LITTLE faster, but not by a lot.
Stronger - Yes, he is
Younger - This only matters in relation to stamina, and Marquez has shown he is way above Cotto in that department
More reach - They are actually equal, 67 inches
Better body puncher - Also true
Switch hitter - True as well

Those categories make them out to be equal, perhaps even give Cotto a small advantage. But let's look at other aspects of the fight game: Marquez has more stamina, is a better counterpuncher, and has a better ability to adapt. Those 3 categories are, in my opinion, MUCH more important in a boxing match than the ones you mentioned. Stamina is everything in boxing, and adaptability is a close second. You have to adjust to your opponent, and Cotto has shown more and more problems with this in his last fights.

1.Really you think teh Marquez that fought last ight is faster than otto? LOl Arreglate los espejuelos loco.

2.Cotto is 10+ times way stronger

Cotto also, have a good beard, decent stamina, and when he is the one carrying the fight, he has never gassed.

He timmed Fast fighter like Judah, Who showed he was faster than Foyd and Shane Mosley wich is pretty damn fast himself.

Mayweathers power is not enough to keep Cotto at bay, plus Mayweather caves in his SR defense when people starts jabbing his ass.

Amnd a lot of other **** we can keep talking about.!!

Dude, you dug your self in a **** hole you dont even know which way is up anymore... Floyd might beat Cotto but **** about your fellow PRicans admitting he would get EMBARASSED and speaking for all of us is ******ed. Dont go on comparing how Marquez is at Cotto's level at 47, only making yourself sound dumber. Vamo a dejarlo ahi....

At 147 Cotto destroys him, but P4P it's a different story. Cotto could catch up to JMM and destroy him to the body, but JMM is to smart a boxer and too good a counterpuncher to be destroyed by Cotto if they both weighed the same. Your statement is influnced by the fact that JMM looked like **** against Floyd. Don't let that cloud your judgment, look at JMM against other great but not-as-great fighters such as Barrera, Pacquiao, and Casamayor. The man has skills out the a-hole, that's why he's ranked #2 P4P.

The Marquez that fought last night not only fought at the highest weight of his career, he fought against the best boxer in the game, of course he wouldn't look fast. He's not that fast to begin with, but he's no slower than Cotto.

How did Judah show he was faster than Floyd? Have you not seen their fight? Zab won 3 of the first 4 rounds and then Floyd schooled him, BADLY.

Again, Floyd doesn't need power to keep Cotto at bay. Whitaker had even less power than Floyd, Calderon has even less than Whitaker, and they all constantly succeeded at keeping fighters off them. How? Speed, timing, accuracy, and intelligence. The are 4 qualities that Floyd has proved time and time again that he has, and to a much higher degree than Cotto.

As washed up Barrera almost stopped JMM and their fight was close. Casamayor is also another washed up fight that was getting beaten down by Katsidis until he found his counters. Pacquiao will be fighting Cotto, so that answer there will be evident on Nov 14th.

JMM was getting beaten up by both Casamayor and Diaz until he found his counters. Against Cotto, he would have been stopped before he found the counters and even then, Cotto has a good enough chin to withstand them. Cotto's jab alone would be a nightmare for JMM.

Excllelent point, and did you see the size difference when Mosely called out mayweather? Naturally bigger, and he looked wider at the shoulders and all around more than Mayweather is willing to handle. That's been Floyd's claim to fame, ducking bigger more able opponents. JMM, bless his warriors heart, should have seen Floyd's plan as using him to look good, from the moment he didn't make weight, and then when he refused to give his actual weight for the fight. If FLoyd's as great as many claim him to be, these tactics would be totally unneccesary. A great champion (Cotto ) puts it on the line, and faces what's before him, without trying to manipulate the system to his favor and advantage. Tito Yuca es un Yuca de verdad. lol

[ericsantos]

At one point a lot of you guys were on the rjj band wagon,then he lost and now he has a lot of haters.when Cotto was undefeated it was the same way all Ricans were behind him(even if they liked Tito more),now he has 1 lost and you see the haters coming out.Floyd is a very talented fighter and much better boxer than Cotto but Cotto Can beat him,Cotto is bigger ,stronger and better than Marquez.I think it would be a hard fight for both and if it goes 12 i think Floyd wins by sd,If the Cotto that fought Judah comes in I see Cotto by TKO
