Cotto vs Mayweather

**Rabbit ♠** · 06-07-2010, 07:59 AM

I love Cotto but I can't see him beating Mayweather. 154 would be a competitive fight and I don't think Mayweather can hurt Cotto at that weight (Cotto does great against guys who can't hurt him) but I still see Floyd getting an 9-5 decision.

Is Cotto the only fighter around Floyd's size who could time Floyd to some success with the jab? Cotto had that down again and it was very impressive, always wanted to see them go at it and still wouldn't mind it now despite all that's gone on.

iv always said that floyd would systematically brake down cotto. just my opinion, could be wrong, but thats how i see it.

Cotto is far too hittable to have success against Floyd

Mayweather by unanimous decision...

I think Mayweather would win, he's just a great fighter but Cotto's jab and timing could probably make it interesting.

Cotto is a tougher fight for Floyd than Mosley by quite a bit IMO.

Floyd has the superior reflexes and hand speed.

Floyd jabs and straight right's Cotto all night for a 12 round decision.

if it happened two or 3 years ago, i would have give cotto a 50-50.

but now, i just can't say yet. maybe around 20-80 or even 10-90 chance against floyd.

floyd is too fast, and i don't think cotto would be very much effective.

he's not ready of this kind of fight yet. i'll say okay with the berto fight. but no with the pac, williams, mayweather, mosley or martinez.

i also wanna see him hand chavez jr his first ko loss.

more mental confidence needed. and body healing.

fight is 50/50... i regard both fighters very highly

mayweather is mayweather and cotto is like the bigger/better version of castillo

I think Mayweather's legs are too good for Cotto, see Foreman uses lots of lateral movement but comes in straight on the line when he attacks, thats why he got caught with so many left hooks, when Mayweather uses lateral movement he punches of the angle, meaning whilst your resetting he is attacking you, that why its hard to counter him, of coarse if Cotto could get the jab off against him he might do well, but Foreman fights pretty square, has not glove defense when moving, Mayweather can parry and slip.
