Comments Thread For: Mosley Warning: Mayweather Better Take Cotto Seriously

[IMDAZED]

Floyd might treat his opponents like they are garbage publicly, but behind closed doors he pays them the ultimate respect by how hard he trains. Won't be long now before we hear reports that he is training the house down.

He better - this sounds almost funny but Cotto's movement will bother Floyd.

I hope he dont take him serious. Cotto is gonna Knock Floyd OUT! Hes a has been.

You really try don't you? Most of them won't budge man... only simple ones , lol

As a cotto fan, this x10000000.

I wish he wouldnt take cotto seriously, but he takes everybody seriously, and im gonna guess especially cotto. mayweather is an elite professional.

Imo, cotto has the skills, power and knowledge to beat mayweather, or atleast make it a great, entertaining fight. its gonna take a great night and gameplan tho. In anycase, he comes to fight and is a resilient fighter. Mayweather doesnt throw in volume, so i dont see the fight being stopped, but i see a great back and forth fight. If cotto can just take his time, picking his spots, i see him having success. A liver shot can always change the fight, especially with mayweathers high hell guard.

I remember a time when everybody thought mosley was too fast, strong, better footwork, etc for cotto. The bottom line is **** happens, and people can be wrong.

what does mayweather do best take away ur best weapons the jab and the hook are gettin takin away from cotto for this fight as soon as floyd steps in camp

I highly doubt this, my brother.

Manny Pacquiao train's harder, his regime is much tougher.

Working harder does not equal working smarter. Just ask pac after the marquez fight

As egotistical as Floyd is, as big as he talks, losing is probably one of the worst things, in his mind, that can happen to him. He knows how the media will turn on him, so that automatically transfers into his gym work. I remember Nate Jones, long time friend of his, said Floyd once dreamed that he lost a fight, said something to the effect that Floyd got all emotional over it and ran 6 miles quickly after. I'm sure a prime Roy Jones knows exactly how Floyd feels, as Jones was a very big talker himself. Gives me chills thinking about it, would probably feel like demons to me, but Floyd greatly benefits of course. Long story short, Floyd takes all fighters serious, including Cotto.

I think we saw that at the end of Round 2(?) of the Mosley fight. Mayweather looked mortified and almost child-like in his demeanour. I think losing would be a particularly bad experience for someone of his character.

nah hes not serious, hes just a troll. he does a damn good job of it though, sometimes I buy into it myself, but you know hes just doing it for fun, thats why we like him!

LOL .. you don't see Floyd citing "cramps" or ridiculous "foot blisters" as reasons why he got his asss embarrassed by guys he was supposed to destroy.

Every serious person in boxing cites Floyd as the hardest working man in boxing.

LOL@ Manny training harder.

That was my laugh for the day.

i think mayweather can take away cotto's jab (for the most part, it will land some) if cotto just tries going at floyd, playing into floyds elite strengths. He can sit back, and counter many of them. But what if cotto is moving away from floyd, changing angles, making floyd come to him? Cotto has a great sharp quick jab, thrown with authority and great timing/ackward timing, it would be alot harder to time when you are on the move, he cant sit back and wait for it to counter. Yes, floyd can fight moving forward, but thats not his forte/strengths.

Cotto's left hook and jab will land in spots regardless what approach he takes. If he catches mayweather hard upstairs, he needs to immediately go to the body, as mayweather has made it a habit to bring his elbows all the way up to a high hell guard when he gets clocked upstairs. Its open, im just waiting for somebody to take advantage of it, im thinking cotto can.

Love Floyd, but his first loss comes May 5th via 8 round KO from a body shot. Call me all the names you want, but Cotto KO win is VERY VERY likely at 154. Not going to argue....this is what im picking
