Miguel Cotto is very overrated

Lets get this guy some real competition.

PUt him in against Tsyzu.

Perhaps some more experience but dont rule out the possibility of him beating Kostya because Kosta is not terrifically fast and Cotto has a very tight defence. Dont forget people never thought Jones could be KOd. Kostya can probably be KOd by Cotto.

Well no not really he isnt. The hype is perfectly true. He's going to be p4p #1 and pretty much everyone can see it. I cant think of a flaw this guys already my favourite boxer. He'll beat Hatton.

Over Mayweather's dead/retired body..

PBF isnt as good as he was for Corrales fight. Hes not as mobile and hes fighting more like a puncher when hes not a puncher like Cotto is.

I do believe Cotto is going to be the future star but he doesn't need to be in with Tszyu yet. I'd like to see him fight Hatton, Gatti or even Harris.

I agree, but I don't think he'll be dumb enough to fight a big puncher like that. He has yet to face a 140lb. big puncher, so we've yet to know, but I think if he was to fight Cotto that he'll dictate the pace.

His father commented on his Uncle's influence of his son's new style and said how dangerous it can be for Little Floyd to fight like that, he also said How Jeff is messing up everything he taught and put into his son's head (just being bitter from his son leaving him)..But I think Mayweather can master how he's fighting, and be elusive while he's in front of a fighter...Like James Toney

Right now I think Cotto beats Tsyzu and here's why: KZ looks to throw his right and loads up on it too much. When KZ throws that slow right Miguel will counter with beautiful left hooks right over the right hand. KZ won't know what hit him.

The same can be said with Cotto. He depends on the left hook too much but when he lets his right hand go he is more effective.

Cotto's a great talent, he's got some very good skills but i can see some weakness against certain styles(same as any other fighter).

I think he's too good for Harris, although Harris has a punchers chance.

He would be too slick for Gatti in the later rounds.

Hatton's pressure makes it a risky fight, Hatton can punch and Cotto doesnt normally fight the full 3 mins every round(uses the ring a lot).

Tszyu's far too risky to fight yet, Tszyu power and accuracy should be avoided at this stage of his career.

Miguel Cotto is very overrated
