Comments Thread For: Team Cotto: We're Open To Face Mayweather or Pacquiao

[cupocity303]

I hope Cotto-Mayweather happens. This is still a intriguing match-up.

Cotto has proven himself a good boxer with good timing in his punches, over the years. Some "slick" guys who were supposed to outbox him and pick him apart, didn't do so. Starting from Malignaggie, to Quintana, to Judah, hell even Mosley to a lesser extent.

The only guys who beat him were strong, aggressive or power punching types. Now Mayweather is no Malignaggie or Carlos QUintana but still. This would be fun to watch. Cotto will either get outboxed or he won't. There is no way Floyd does to Cotto, what Margarito or even Pacquiao did. Not unless Floyd picks up his workrate or develops a Heavyweight power punch all of a sudden.

Is this serious? Who the hell expected Malignaggi or Quintana to do anything against Cotto? Paulie was still a prospect and Quintana is far from slick. Look, I'm happy for Miguel and hope he gets one final huge payday before he's done because he's always been a warrior but let's not get crazy, Miguel gets shutout against Floyd. I'd actually expect a TKO in the latter rounds.

I don't get why people would rather see cotto vs mayweather. Cotto vs pac is more competitive and more action. Let's not forget that cottos dad passed before the pac fight and he had no trainer. I don't give cotto a chance against either guy but a mayweather fight would be a boring wipeout. I want floyd vs martinez, pac vs bradley, cotto vs canelo and marquez vs peterson but that would make too much sense.

vs either 1 it's a tko loss for Cotto...

Pobrecito Cotto. No money in the world is worth him getting hurt vs Pac. He's already proved his courage. He should keep figting easy money fights. He deserves it more than any aging fighter today.

Cotto is nowhere near his prime. He can no longer do what he used to. Cotto vs May would've been a great fight 4 years ago.

Clearly you weren't around in the message board days, when people just thought of Cotto as some sloppy, come forward Puerto Rican, expecting undefeated Malingaggie to outbox him.

Clearly you weren't around in the forum days, after Carlos Quintana outboxed/dominated undefeated Joel Julio - who was was being hyped as a Alfredo Angulo type beast on HBO. And everyone expecting Quintana to do the same to Cotto, only for Cotto to start outboxing Quintana, showing his ability to time punches.

This is what I'm talking about. Please don't give me the knee-jerk reactions. I didn't say that Cotto will beat Floyd, only that it's intriguing match-up based on the fact that Cotto is a better boxer than everyone thought when he came up, and only lost to guys that were stronger than him, not to Slick Boxers. I acknowledge that Floyd is much better than Quintana, Malignaggie or Judah.

Pacquiao won't fight him fair, so I don't know why he is open to it.

I rather see Mayweather-Cotto at 154 than Pacquiao-Cotto at 147.

Agreed......
