Cotto vs Mayweather?

[bballchump11]

He would have fought him at 147lbs, you know the one Pacquiao schooled and destroyed.

Oscar has an iron chin thats why he could slug it out with Mayorga, Cotto hasn't and had to let his boxing skills shine through.

If Cotto and Oscar fought at 147, Cotto would mess him up. But Floyd fought him at 154. That's what I'm arguing. That the Oscar Floyd fought is better than Cotto.

A part-time boxer, who previous to fighting Floyd had 1 fight in 3 years, against a guy who uses his face to block shots.

Oscar never had it after his comeback, the skills had gone, his timing with the right had gone, struggle with his condition and his reflexes dropped a step or too.

Cotto was faster, a great jab, briliant body puncher, a slick boxer with more guile than Oscar.

What did Oscar have at that stage of his career.

Pacquiao showed what level Oscar had gotten to.

The Oscar Manny fought was not the same one Floyd fought. Freddie Roach will even tell you that and that's why he took the fight and ebcause of the money involved.
The way I see it. Oscar is a front runner. So is Cotto
Cotto has a good jab. Oscar has a great jab
Cotto is a good body puncher. So is Oscar
Cotto has a good left hook. Oscar has a better left hook
Cotto has a decent chin. Oscar has an atg chin
and I can go on. Cotto is just a water downed version

Cotto has no right hand. Oscar has an okay right hand.

Cotto had okay combos. Oscar has great combos.

Cotto's balance wasn't great. Oscar had a very stable base.

Cotto will go into the HOF. Oscar is a low tier ATG.

Cotto only fought one atg and lost. Oscar fought various ATGs and even managed to beat at least one.

Roach said he took the Oscar fight for Manny because of what he saw when he trained Oscar for the Mayweather fight and what he saw it that fight.

And because of how Oscar was when he trained him, he was certain Pacquiao would beat Oscar.

And your comparisons are of a prime Oscar, not the Oscar Floyd fought, or do you really think that was Oscar in his prime?

No Oscar wasn't prime, but his size and strength made up for that over the Mayweather who could have still made light welterweight

[pugilistprophet1994]

I always wanted this one. Floyd would have beat his ass and I think Cotto knew it. Neither side really went after it but I always liked the match up. Even though I'm confident in my prediction, I always wanted to see this fight.

where's that GIF from? lol
