Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

What mean things can you say about Miguel. He doesn't drink his own piss, he doesn't have a jheri curl, he's not a tree. He's a dedicated family man to his wife and kids. How can you not respect that. Also, Floyd always says, I respect every man, but you have to make me respect your fight game

True, i agree with that.

So either Floyd respects his fight game or....he's having trouble standing up to his claim as the Biggest **** talker...

Floyd has said that when it lights, camera, action, his show begins... and when it's his show he claims that he talks the most ****.

When you claim something like that you cant slow down otherwise people will see it as weakness....

If you a **** talker, you keep talking, if you stop it will be protrayed differently...especially with Floyd....

Didn't see the video, but when Floyd is working the mitts, "he's going to kill his opponent."

[V.WEBB]

It's going to be a better fight than most are expecting.

I see a lot of the same views people had with Pac vs Marquez 3 where Pac was supposed to overwhelm Marquez. Different circumstances, but I honestly don't see Floyd dominating Cotto 10 rounds to 2. I see it being tooth and nail with there being a possible controversial decision.

Based on what, though?

I can't wait for May 5th

[any craic lad?]

Floyd possibly late stoppage or and this is at best for Cotto a ud like 9-3 for Floyd

[The Cobra Curry]

I was worried for him when he left Steward but I've been very impressed with his new trainer.

[Carpe Diem]

Based on what, though?

Because Floyd gets hit a lot.

[Danny Gunz]

I think Cotto can stay competitive in the fight as long as he doesnt get knocked down early, or cut.

I dont expect a whole lot of fireworks in this fight though. Probably Floyd by UD, but I'm still gonna be pulling for Cotto.

Late stoppage huh ? How do you figure ?

Cotto's losses were indeed late stoppages but from volume punchers..

Mayweather is not a volume puncher or will he take the risk in volume punching against cotto, if he does he will get caught.

The most obvious pick would be UD. but 9-3, thats too 1 sided...

I would give cotto a much better chance. I find it hard to beleive that Cotto will out think mayweather, but he can out-will him.

To beat mayweather you need to have a few things.... Skill, will, experience and paitence...

Last opponents :

Ortiz - Lacked experience and paitence period

Mosley - Lacked will and skill needed to beat Floyd, dude waited on da 1 hitter quitter all night long, never tried to setup anything...

Marquez - Lacked skills needed to beat Floyd, Marquez's game is countering,you cant do that all day against Floyd or he will figure you out.

Hatton - Lacked skill and experience, dude was undefeated in Europe, Europe and US not same level in Boxing. Cant go head first in boxing....

Finally Cotto -

Does he have skills ? I say yes, A boxer-puncher with arguably the best left hook to the body in the game today....Good ring generalship, Works to break down fighters round by round

Does he have paitence ? One of the most paitence fighters today... Works to break down fighters round by round... does not look for the Knock as game plan .....

Does he have the will ? Yes, will to beat Ricardo torres after being knock down early, will to beat Quintana when they said he had no shot, will to beat Clottey with a severe cut to the eye brow in the 1st rd, will to fight anybody put in front of him and never ducked anyone !

Does he have experience ? yes, last 16 fights have been championship fights against top competition...

He needs to hit Floyds shoulds and biceps. Don't be fooled that this doesn't work, todays' fighter don't know how to imploy that strategy. Sad. Castillo in his fight hit Floyd anywhere he could.

A style like Floyds offers you his shoulder and biceps. Its like bodyshots, money in the bank. By round 10 he will be feeling sore. Old time boxers did this **** all the time. Rocky Marciano better known for this tactic.

Floyd uses shoulders and elbows as his defense, interesting to see if he uses that tactic vs a known devestating body puncher....
