Cotto has a good chance of beating mayweather!

[pbftxrs316]

of course floyd isn't in his prime anymore--his prime left when he moved up to 147 and fought bigger guys, and no, not judah and mitchell---baldomir and de la hoya--and he whitewashed tata--and dominated de la hoya, even though the scorecards didn't indicate it---kazmerick needed to retire after he gave the fight to oscar--what the **** was he thinking? kellerman summed it up perfectly if you asked me---floyd's strongest attirbute was never his physical prowess anyway--his sharp mind was always his secret weapon throughut his career and how he could outhink any fighter--which he so accustiomed to doing--you have to be a boxing phenom to spar at least 4 1/2 minute rounds with 30 second breaks--and at most 15 minute rounds with different array of fighters moving in with no breaks---and havier fighters als0--he spars with middleweights to heavyweights--he can handle any punch, whether it staggers him or not--like he did with corley and mosley--in which he dominated the rest of the round after he was stunned by thier hardest shots---how the hell can a guy take a shot like he should and come out the stronger fighter in the same exact round?lol

he's a masterpiece of a fighter--underrated p4p all time imo--top 10 fighter at least of all time--imo--the most skilled fighter who ever performed professionally in the ring--he would be a top fighter in any era--that's greatness people--true greatness--give him his ****ing just-do will ya?

Mayweather is clearly the better fighter but u never know for sure what can happen when **** hits the fan in sports. Let's not act like Cotto is some cab driver from the streets that got thrown in a boxing ring with the best fighter today and some how beats him. Give him some respect. I think it would be a great fight.

Would be a better fight than another Cotto/Paq.

Obviously nobody is gonna outskill mayweather, but i believe he can be outwilled. I dont see mayweather having what it takes to take cotto out of the fight, i.e. cotto is gonna keep coming. Cotto would do a huge disservice to himself to not focus on mayweathers body, especially when mayweather is against the ropes. When he is on the ropes, he is usually more focused on rolling from head shots, and his body is pretty open. Focus on the body, and the head will open up. Cottos jab will also cause problems for mayweather.

Cotto would be mayweathers toughest/most credible opponent to date. In no way should we accept 'he is pacs leftovers' bit. This is a sport, in which the best fight the best. If mayweather doesnt fight him, he's scurred.

I see this fight playing out like the judah-cotto fight, with cotto slowly waring out mayweather, and still coming.

lmao...at this thread

I dont even know who this cotto is you speak of, sounds like a created player on fightnight or something. I put it like this. If cotto fights Mayweather, then he is looking to retire because floyd will end cottos career. More like Mayweather vs Gatti...fights wouldnt even be close. Hell cotto gets hit with everything...

I don't think Miguel "Dinosaur arms" Cotto jab would give Floyd much trouble. In my opinion in order for your jab to work effectively well against Floyd, you'd have to be a lanky tall type of Boxer like, Castillo, Oscar, and Phillip N'dou were.

Dinosaur arms...lol. Never heard that one before...good one.
Floyd would have Cotto figured out pretty much by the 2nd round, and would pot-shot him to a comfortable ud. I doubt he can ko him.

spoken like someone who hasn't ever seen neither of them fight

Cotto doesn't keep coming. margarito broke his will. pacquiao didn't really even apply pressure and still broke his will.

Mayweather has dealt with better and longer jabs than Cotto. He even has a better jab than Cotto and would come away the winner in a jabbing contest. Cotto is very open to that signature body job.

Mayweather throws very sharp punches with plenty of snap behind em. A stoppage is possible since Cotto's face wouldn't hold up.

It was the volume of punches that did cotto over in those two fights. Mayweather is not a volume puncher.

Cotto is a better jabber, period. Mayweather would do better in lead right hands, its phenominally good, but jab, nope hes not a better jabber.

Who has mayweather fought that jabs better than cotto? Judah jabbed mayweather fairly well, and cotto completely outjabbed him.

And i would way rather mayweather jab to the body than his lead right hands. You're acting like cotto doesnt have a decent counter hook either.

I have a feeling mayweather would try and stand toe to toe, right in front of cotto. That doesnt bode well for him imo, as he will be touched. Cotto just has to be smart about it, and trained well. Acting like mayweather cant be touched now huh? A gunshy mosley could touch him...

Cotto would have a chance of beating Floyd, just like SSM was believed to have a good chance. Not because either SSM or Cotto are rated so damn highly, but rather because people think Floyd is not so great and is overated.
