Miguel Cotto vs Floyd Mayweather @154lbs: Legit Fight?

[IronDanHamza]

It's legit, but I don't like the fight.

And it does nothing for his legacy.

meh......as long as its at 154 and not some catch-weight i'd say its legit

[Curtiz]

100% Legit fight.

Cotto is at a strong weight, coming off back to back wins.

& Most importantly not weight drained.

It's the best fight for Mayweather and Cotto. Canelo really ******. This is way, way better.

Poll speaks for itself

yup...i vote yes...will be a lopsided win for Floyd but then again my feelings of Floyd vs anyone is the always the same...Cotto will stand and box with him in the center of the ring...which will result in an arturo gatti like beating... hand speed will play a big part.

It does nothing for his legacy? Zero? Zip? Nilch?

Come on. I would rank this win slightly below Pacquiao's win.

[check hook]

I believe it is...

The stigma that's put on Cotto is that he's shot and worn out and will be picked apart by Floyd to a TKO (which is crazy to me). I favor Floyd, but i truly don't think this is an easy fight for Floyd.

It's very legit. It will be even more legit when you see Floyd (a true WW) come in on the official scales at about 151-152, and weigh the same on fight night.

Personally, I'm satisfied.

This is more than good enough of a substitute for Mayweather-Pacquiao. I've been wondering about this match-up for years, and Cotto is relatively still the same guy. The only guys to beat him were fighters who were stronger than him, not fighters who could outbox him.

And I doubt that Floyd will Margarito or Pacquiao him into a TKO, the way they did. It will be interesting to see how Floyd will fight him. And yes, if Cotto is allowed to come in at 154, then he'll enjoy the same benefits that Delahoya did when he fought Floyd.
