    The beauty of boxing is that you never know what can happen.

    Who knows if Floyd gets KOed ala Roy Jones when he started to slip badly so quick

        I disagree...........

        I disagree. Level of opposition has something to do with why we haven't seen him hit clean on a REGULAR basis. Every fighter is hittable. I can promise you that Cotto will hit him enough to win the fight. There is no need to disrepect a great fighter like Cotto. Mayweather isn't a boxing GOD. He's a product of smart match-making in my eyes. They are both great fighters and this will be an intriguing fight.

          I dont think so. I think Floyd has mastered his D and unless he gets old, you wont hit him clean. Cotto might land but it will just be what Floyd gives him. Elbows & gloves. I think the only reason why JMM & Shane landed a couple of shots early was just Floyd knocking off rust. A Southpaw is different but I dont think a righty can hit Floyd clean right now
          How i see it, for him to be able to land his right hand (which he needs to do), he has to mix it up well. His jab will be effective at first, and he needs to build other punches off that. If he cant, his jab will be taken away probably. Floyd does leave his body open quite a bit, especially if he gets caught with a hard one upstairs, in which case he'll leave his body completely open for a high guard, elbows up and all.

          Its gonna come down to gameplanning, and being prepared for many/all scenarios (being aggressive, making floyd be aggressive, etc). Floyd will be hit, and he will feel some of them. Obviously floyd is the favorite to win, but cotto certainly has what it takes to pull it off imo. I dont see floyd putting cotto away, as cotto is too resilient and floyd doesnt throw the necessary volume. He may get hurt, but only if a few fights has cotto not been hurt or caught with hard punches.

            Floyd has been hit hard several times, by Corley, Judah, Mosley, etc those 3 have something in common and it's that at the time they were very well known for their handspeed. So it wouldn't be anything new if Cotto can catch him cleanly, but I think Cotto is way too slow to catch Floyd, Floyd will see those punches coming from a mile away. But NSB will make a big deal and make gifs about it in a fight where Mayweather wins by near shut out or TKO.

Its sucks to think Cotto is getting taking advantage of , but then again...this is a business. Personally...im streaming this. I hate to see Floyd get rich at the puerto ricans exspense being that is the majority of the fan base that will be attending and viewing this fight on Cinco de Mayo!
              Did you complain when Manny forced a CW on him , that their mutual promoter pressured Cotto to take the CW , did you care about Cotto then when he was being ripped off by Arum and drained by Manny ,,, you got some real narrow minded double standards going on kid !!

                Cotto will make more money fighting Floyd than he has ever made... yet somehow this is Floyd taking advantage of Cotto?

Even Pacquiao fans are putting more attention to Mayweather vs Cotto. Pacquiao fans will never be Pacquiao fans first. They will be a Mayweather hater first, Pacquiao fan second. In another words, they will be a Mayweather fan first, Pacquiao fan second.

                    Yup, Cotto-Mayweather is a huge draw compared to the other fight.

                    Just look at both stickies. May-Cotto has over 71,000 views!!!

                    The other fight has like 5,000. It's kinda pathetic actually. I might just have to buy Bradley-Pac to help their pathetic numbers.

                      im not on anything...you must be if you think Floyd is so great. As a matter of fact you are a threat to society and should be confined to a mental institution. You are not fooling me with the biased routine either. You trash Manny at will and protect Floyd. Any Bashing on Manny Pacquiao your comments are none. But when your idol is bashed you rush to his defense like hes your high school lover. your statistics says it all. Youre a die hard ***** so what can i expect from you! little boys heheheeeeee
                      Hahaha No ***** here. I actually think it's pretty f**king ****** when anyone uses the "*******" or "*****" words. I am one of the most unbias Floyd fans on here and probably one of the biggest Floyd fans on here.

                      It's laughable when you try to act as if you know all that much about the sport, when I would bet my life that you only truly follow Pacquiao. And it's bias Floyd haters like you that ruin it for most legit Pacquiao fans. And it's bias Manny haters like certain other guys on this site that ruin for unbias Floyd fans like myself, IronDan, and others.

                      You talk s**t when anyone says the slightest thing about Manny and dedicate your entire page to him.....and you have the nerve to say Floyd is my high school lover??????? Get the f**k outta here, not a single person on here takes you serious. Your posts, as well as fellow bias Manny lovers like BOMBS and CHEKC HOOKS, are for our amusement. So keep on going on like you know anything or mean anything to any sort of boxing conversation.....because in reality everyone knows your opinion isn't worth a god damn thing.

                      Like I said, actual fans of the sport know Floyd and Manny have both done great things and are ATG's. Only bias Floyd haters don't admit Floyd is an ATG greater. And vice-versa with Manny.

                      You call yourself a Pacquiao fan, yet you waste more time bashing Floyd on here than actually being a fan of Manny. And you know that's the truth.
