Doug Fischer: "Floyd won't fight Cotto because he is Pac's LEFT-OVER"

[Bee Keepz]

Cotto has been a wounded dog since the Margarito beat down. I wouldn't mind seeing the fight, just not paying for it.

[S.G.]

I agree. The fight would probably not do his reputation much good in this climate. I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see it, I just think other fights should take priority. Tread some new ground.

[North Star]

This is just a good style match up IMO. Cotto always seems to outbox the guy who is supposed to be the better boxer. I'm not saying that he'd outbox Floyd, but he'd present a very interesting match up with Floyd. Cotto is open to Floyd's right hand and if Manny can teach Miguel nullify that weapon, the fight is that much closer.

I'd definitely buy this PPV and if it happens in Vegas (who am I kidding, of course it will be) I am there!!!

Doug can go suck a pingo.

"I don’t think Mayweather or his team like the idea of taking on Pacquiao’s “leftovers,” which is how Cotto would be perceived in that situation. Yes, the Puerto Rican star looked very sharp versus Foreman, but nobody considers the rabbi-in-training to be an elite fighter and we all knew the 154-pound beltholder lacked the power to physically threaten Cotto."

isnt Mosley Cottos leftover?

[Roxas]

Foreman was tagging Cotto quite easily with right hands I see Floyd stopping Cotto in 10....

The way I view it, simply losing doesn't make a fighter his victor's left-overs, he has to have had the **** beaten out of him a la Pacquiao v Cotto before I start to throw that term around.

True cotto is hittable with the right, but at one point or another he will counter with the left hook, and being that he naturally a lefty he will probably catch Uglyboy and put him to sleep. The speed it's what worries me

i think Floyd UDs the fack out of cotto. but if cotto catches him with a left, expect him to fold. Jrs capable of beating him but i think he thinks cotto is too much of a threat for him. itll be a great matchup but Floyd will simply duck this one.

Whoever voted that wouldn't pay to see Cotto-Floyd is lying....or broke.
