Anybody think that Cotto would've quit against Floyd if he was in JMM's position

[savorduhflavor]

Margarito, Clottey, and Mosley all landed over 220 punches (95% of them power punches) against Cotto.

I see Mayweather landing at a 60-70% clip. It'd be a real beatdown.

This is true. But what would his workrate be like? I don't think he'd throw much, and I think Cotto would be pumping his jab like never before.

Floyd can land 60% to Cotto's 25%(if that), but if Cotto is outworking him, he can do some damage.

I was watching the fight and thought to myself, it must be hella dsicouraging to punch for 12 rounds and not hit a guy that's right in front of you. I don't think Cotto would have quit but I do think he'd break mentally, stop punching and hope to survive all 12 rounds.

lemme guess, margacheato fanatic?

Either that or a Cotto hater. Cotto would beat Floyd. He's too big. And obviously the ts doesn't believe the only time this 3 time world champion took a knee, (never been ko-d) was in a very controversial fight with a proven cheater that is banned from the boxing world in the US.
Failed thread.

And all of them hit harder than Floyd and he manage to beat 2 of them!!!!!!!!

True. I don't think Clottey hits harder than Mayweather, but that's for another subject.

I use to think Cotto had the best shot at beating Mayweather too since he was the closest to a Castillo, but Floyd would land at a high percentage without having to open up too much so he can let Cotto land at a low %.

P4P Castillo is stronger

Wrong!!!!!!!!

P4P Castillo had a better chin, but not stronger than Cotto!!!!!!!!!

I can't see Cotto winning rounds because when Floyd lands it's gonna look real clean.

Cotto use to have his chin tucked, after Margarito, Miguel has his head on a swivel so when his opponent lands **** looks mad clean. And when Mayweather lands it's pretty clean anyway.

Wrong!!!!!!!!

P4P Castillo had a better chin, but not stronger than Cotto!!!!!!!!!

I think he's stronger, he's bullied stronger fighters than Cotto has. To tell you the truth though, the strength difference isn't too much.

That said, I don't see Cotto walking through all the leather he's gonna have to, to beat May.

Some Points I would like to make.

-Ricans are tough as nails. On par with Mexicans.

-JMM is a counterpuncher and looked bad trying to be the aggressor, similar to what happened to him with Chris John.

-Floyd looked good, but he had way too many advantages over a much smaller JMM.

-Cotto is not a quitter. He had a bad night against someone who potentially had bricks in their hands. He took a bad beating that night, but he kept getting up.

An Unrelated Point:

-The level of pure ******ation in this forum has reached an all time high as of late. It seems so many have lost all objectivity and post negatively about certain fighters, for the pure enjoyment of pissing off fellow members or trying to shed their own fighter in a better light. These people know who they are and really should grow the **** up.

[Glamour Puss]

No way, Cotto's a warrior and Floyd doesn't punch hard enough to make him quit.

co sign MY man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jazluvr]

No. Not at all man. He turned into a ***** after he beat the breaks out of that little eyebrow plucking mofo.

you proved right here you just hate Cotto...lol

I think that Cotto would definitely give Floyd a better fight than JMM did. I'm not that biased. I'm just saying that since JMM's stamina is better than Cotto's that that is the reason why he didn't get knocked out or stopped. I think Cotto would get stopped even though he may win two or three rounds off of Floyd.

^^Here's the contradiction...

The only guys that I can accuse him of ducking at 147 are Williams, Mosley, and Margarito. Those guys have said they want to fight Mayweather. Cotto has not.

Cotto, when asked about fighting floyd, has said in an interview, "Flyod knows where to find me if he wants me"
Floyd, when asked about fighting Cotto, said "he's too green." Lol.
Floyd ducked Cotto. He don't want no part of that "eyebrow plucking mofo".

Just because Cotto doesn't shoot his mouth off calling guys out, doesn't mean he is ducking them. You see what you want to see..u lack objectivity...therefore...
