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

[Canelo Phresh]

I have no dog in the fight(PAC or Cotto). I got a chance to see Cotto in person, even shook his hand and let me tell y'all something, Cotto is a big(or one fat) motherf**ker, he must've been around 180-200lbs when I saw him(an ugly one too, he looks much better on t.v., in person, he really looked like a bulldog with scar tissues).

I'd say it would be a different fight if the two were to meet again, but next time it would be at the 154lb limit. I'd still favor PAC though, but, it would just be a tougher fight for him, but, on the other side of the coin, I think Cotto has a much better shot at beating PAC than last time.

I mean, the Cotto that got his @ss kicked by PAC had alot going against him. He just got the beating of his life(and had turmoil in his camp) and came off a tough fight against Clottey, he had to cut alot of weight and had a pseudo trainer prepare him for the world's P4P best.

For those stating the argument, that no one forced Cotto to sign that contract. That's true, but, PAC was the meal ticket, and in order to get a crack at that golden ticket, you have to make some crazy sacrifices, as in drain yo' @ss for it. Well, y'all get the picture.

On the other side of the coin, I understand PAC's position, he's really a 40lber fighting as a 147lber. But, he also had to make sacrifices if he wanted the big paydays, and Cotto was the only star not named PBF that was available.

200lbs? For real?

I think if it was Pacquaio at 150 or 154 on May 5th instead of Floyd id be CONFIDENT that Cotto would win

Thanks man!

[Hyper Knuckles]

I can't wait for a rematch. I'll pay

[Mohammedini]

He beat Zab Judah didn't he?



Crazy talk, Cotto didn't lose that fight because of a couple of lbs in weight, he lost because he got ****** into going toe to toe and came off second best.

Did you watch that fight?
A garbage Zab Judah on a losing streak rocked cotto multiple times and gave him problems.
Cotto had to Lowblow him 3 times before he could get of on Judah.
Judah mentally gave up after the lowblows.

Cotto was a sitting duck for the lefthand, being a lefty himself in orthodox stance.

The only thing that proves who would win a fight is for the fight to actually happen. Anything else is just opinion. Real talk.

I didn't say it was a fact. However Pacman has clearly shown he won't fight Cotto without a weight stipulation in his favor & that isn't an opinion. That is a fact homey.

Miguel seems sharp and trining hard! Need to see some sparing glimpses!!!!

Thanks for sharing!

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...

All my points to none off yours (i dont care for points just like to have bets on fights with other posters) Floyd stops Miguel or its a bigger margin then 117-111.

Why?

He still has the same glaring weaknesses now that Pacquaio would exploit that he had in 2009.

Only difference is he's further down the decline.

Pacquaio beats the **** out of any version of Cotto 10 times out of 10.

At 154 Cotto hasnt impressed me much. Hes a lot slower and his punches not as crisp. Even if he were to beat Mayweather that doesn't mean he'd beat Pac in a rematch. We all know how triangle theory works in boxing. Styles makes fights and stylistically Pac is a nightmare for Cotto.
