When Cotto fought Manny...

[WESS]

When Cotto fought Manny he didn't even have a real trainer, and was forced to fight at 145 and had to put his 147 belt on the line.

Now, being his own man, will fight Mayweather at 154, a weight he is comfortable at, and holds a belt in. And last but not least, has a legit trainer guiding him.

This will be a good fight!

Cotto is now coming off a 3 fight ko streak and mentally is in better shape than he was when Pac fought him. Just like Hatton. He was mentially in better shape when Mayweather fought him than when Pac did.

Both Cotto and hatton are over rated. The problem for Mayweather is, nobody from 140-154 is good enough and unless Floyd moved up to MW, nobody will be happy.

Corrected most of his issues, fought a smarter fight against Margarito.

What issues did he correct?

All he did was tell Cotto to box instead of engaging. I coulda told him that. Lets not forget he was pinned against an extremely slow punching bag.

The fact that Cotto feels strong at this weight and Floyd isn't forcing him down to 145 like Pac did, even after Cotto came off a bad beating is nothing but good. This will be a good fight!

He got him to tie up, circle rather than pulling back in a straight line and he also got him to use the right hand more. Don't know what the argument is here, I thought everyone here agreed that Joe Santiago was whack.

What smarter fight??? Cotto fought the exact same fight. Just yielded better results because margarito's eye fell apart.

Please enlighten us on exactly what cotto did different the 2nd time around that he wasnt attempting to do the 1st time

Ummm more lateral movement without laying on the ropes? Did you even watch the fight? He had much more stamina or he would've laid on the ropes like he did in the first fight.

And Cotto said he was in the best shape against Pac in 2009.

When Cotto fought Margrito he forced Margarito to fight at a catchweight. So easy to forget I guess but it was a 153 pounds, not the full 154. And this was after Cotto demanded the fight be at 150 (but margs refused).

And Cotto said he was in the best shape against Pac in 2009.

Cotto said just two weeks ago it was very hard on him.

Cotto's damaged.

Floyd wins all 12 easily.
