miguel Diaz.. cotto must box mayweather

[mrbigshot]

i assume everyone saw joshua clottley vs miguel cotto

everyone agrees that cotto won the fight but joshua was the better fighter on the night

now we all saw joshua land multiple right hands and left hands on cotto!

now imagine mayweather who is more accurate and better skilled and is fighting a slightly lesser version of cotto will do

floyd will have now then 50% accuracy which equals a wide wide decision or a late stoppage

i like cotto i think he is and was a very good fighter but we all know styles makes fights and he can not beat mayweather for me he does not even have a punchers chance

but just my opinion mind

Cotto can't out-box Floyd, but I guess he might as well choose that route and go the distance. Because he can't pressure him and beat him either, and he'd just take more punishment if he tried.

He'll probably win a couple of rounds, and some rounds will be close, but there'll be no doubt that Floyd wins on points.

The odds on Floyd by decision is actually quite decent, might put some money on that.

It's sad that people actually in the Boxing world genuinely believe Cotto can outbox Floyd Mayweather.

imho cotto is durable enough to be more aggressive he do not need to box floyd to go the distance...

Cotto is done!!! I don't know why PR gets upset when people point out that Mayweather cannot be outbox by Cotto, A younger undamage non-war torn Cotto bares "Outbox" Mosley but if you say this version of Cotto can outbox Mayweather then I can't wait for May 5.

Can't really say that Cotto boxing Mayweather isn't a good idea, it might be his best bet at winning the early rounds. I used to think pressure from the first bell would be a good idea against Mayweather, but Ortiz was pressuring Mayweather from the start and it didn't get him much more then a steady stream of right hands to the face until he got desperate.

I see this fight playing out a bit like DLH/May played out, except with Cotto actually looking a little better then Oscar did early, but with Mayweather breaking him down & winning by late round stoppage. Cotto was in great condition against Marg but he's still too easy to be hit clean.

I didn't say that, I see this fight going the distance anyway. What I said was that he would take more punishment if he fights more aggressively, cause Floyd would hit him with clean counters all night long.

Unless Floyd has a really bad night, or Cotto somehow lands a bomb and is able to follow up perfectly, I just don't see how Cotto could win this fight.
