This is wat im telling ppl floyd wont win with 15 punches per round cotto will outbox him when have you seen cotto lose to a boxer he lost to a guy who cheated and another who drained him

Cotto outboxing floyd??? Even if Floyd throws ten punches per round Cotto can not and will not outbox floyd. . . I wonder if you know the meaning of outbox.

Let's see what floyd can do to pacs left over.

I am very much interested to see this too.

EXACTLY!!! And that's just what's gonna happen. I'm a huge Cotto fan but he will taste Floyd's quickness and accuracy in the first round and get totally picked apart from then on. A few accurate counters will stop all the crazy activity every time. Roach would love to see a tough fight but he knows in his heart that Floyd is gonna destroy Cotto!!! This will give Miss Pacman all she needs to go into politics full time. She already has one foot out of boxing right now but this will help her jump in with both feet.

Been saying what Roach says for years. Cotto got a good style for Mayweather. Dudes on here never even boxed and they want to call a guy like Roach a delusional Cotto stan that doesn't know ****, LMAO, that's bc YOU GUYS ARE DELUSIONAL HATERS OF MIGUEL ANGEL COTTO, especially you "Ray" from England or some ****. You call stans delusional but you guys are just as bad, just with an opposite view. Cotto is ****ing nice right now, especially with a good trainer, better than he was than vs Pacman. May couldnt destroy JMM (lightweight), Ortiz, DLH (way past it), Mosley (way past it). Best he gets is a UD. *****es forget Cotto stood in there with a Middle Weight in Margarito and Mayorga and took their best and when Cheato tried to walk him down he bounced in and out and he pushed back even more, not letting him do it. May aint stronger than Margarito and I don't believe Cotto will let him either. All he needs to do is step back when May comes with that right hand and jump in an out with combos, don't chase Floyd but don't wait either, keep that hard jab working. Mayweather is fast but Cotto, if May wants to stand his ground, will win on the inside. And if May wants to play there he's getting hurt. Then he might start potshotting his way to a UD.

OK Pacboy, since you agree about the leftovers theory what about Manny fighting Cotto AND May's leftovers in Shane? And others!!!??? You cornball. Cotto will smash Floyd if he comes with a BS 10 punches per round, who you think he is, Victor Ortiz? Who by the way, did land on Floyd. Floyd took the EASY ****ing way out that fight even though Ortiz is a big ***** because he knew he couldn't knock him out fair and it was going to be a rough night. With Cotto it will be even rougher. Sleep on his skill, my boy got a real bounce and can keep up with anybody, especially with this new trainer, all he needs to do is listen. Contrary to popular belief, this version of Cotto might be even tougher for Floyd and this version of Floyd may be easier for Cotto, since Floyd's slowed down a tad bit and isn't as agile. Floyd is taking his riskiest fight since DLH and that isn't saying much about his career.

I respect Roach as a trainer, but IMHO floyd has superior boxing skills that will be very hard for Cotto to figure out. Miguel will be outboxed all night long.

Cotto will be able to connect and if he can follow up those hits with consistency, then he has a chance.

However, I haven't seen this kind of attitude from miguel in his last 5 fights.

Tall task for Cotto. but i expect him to put up a good fight. im interested to see what gameplan his trainer has for cotto. Cotto showed good gameplan under the cuban trainer vs margarito.

when did I agree??? You are making false quotes.

Cornball??? nice choice of words.

this fight is going to play out like every single cotto fight before it, He gonna fight well for 3 maybe 4 rounds then hes going to gas out then hes going to get on his mororcyle and try to run out the clock and will get beaten to a bloody pulp. this fight isnt going the distance, Jr is aLOT better puncher than people give him credit for and he actually has more one punch power than cotto or pacqioau has because those guys aint scored a true ko in years years!im no Jr fan But im not blind Cotto is going to get ASSS****D by MAYWEATHER anyone saying or beleiving otherwise simply dont know boxing or are delusional and blind.Cottos chances to make this a competetive fight are SLIM AND NONE!

GTFOH with that B.S,Floyd never avoided no Margarito and Margarito was not even a remote threat to Floyd even with his loaded gloves.

Floyd fought Baldomir,Hatton and Zab at welter ,2 fighters who won major titles at the time and had better wins at welter then Margarito at the time.And Margarito had a paper title with no big wins at the time.So how is that ducking Margarito?

Also how is a slow ****** plodding fighter like Margarito gonna beat Floyd when Floyd fought and dominated numerous fighters that not only fight like Margarito,but also better fighters then Margarito?

And also Floyd has been the most avoided fighter out there when he was`nt a big name.He was avoided by Kostya Tszu,Joel Cassamayor,Acelino Frietas,Juan Lazcano,Paul spadafora,Trinidad,Leonard Dorin,a young Dela Hoya, and a young Mosley.

Also Floyd wanted to unify the belts with Hatton and Cotto after he beat Arturro Gatti and neither of them wanted a piece of Floyd.Bob Arum said Cotto was`nt ready and Hatton said he was`nt ready either.

Common knowledge is Floyd turned down about 8 mill to fight Margarito. Plus a couple weeks ago Floyd said it himself in one of those videos he made that it was a smart move on his part to avoid that fight in light of the fact margarito has been exposed for using the illegal wraps. I'm not saying Margarito is a great fighter. But he was threat because he ****** hard with those wraps and he could take a punch! Floyd knew he couldn't hurt him or keep him off him! And 12 rounds is a long time to run! and trust he would have to have been on his wheels in that fight. If it had happened. About the other fighters, Floyd got just what he's giving right now. The game is the same! When Floyd was talent and a threat but brought no money, people avoided him. True indeed. Now he's the man in the power position and the guys that are talent and dont bring money want to fight him. And he avoids. Easiest opposition for the most money! Thats Money May! So we respectfully have different opinions!
