Cotto vs Mayweather=Gatti vs Mayweather?

[mikemurni]

Cotto is still a good fighter.. His only defeats were only against Marg and Pac in his last 5-6 fights.. Though he is really close to losing what ever is left in his prime... His move to 154 is still not proven, and I think its because of the fact that he is getting older..But that doesnt mean that Cotto is not a credible opponent...Besides both Cotto and Floyd are really WW's to begin with..

But I wont be surprise if he pulls off an upset.. I am giving Floyd credit if he beats Cotto.. I hate the *****s, but I am not about to take credit from a fighter for beating a tough and still credible opponent like Cotto..

Elite fighters?

Who? Clottey? Mosley? He barely beat them. Clottey is a ***ing joke and pacatards swear Mosley was shot the second he started walking at the age of 3 years old.

Who has Cotto deciseivaly beat that makes him so special?

People LOVE to over rate Cotto because Pac fought him.

Im pretty sure u call mayweather an elite fighter....

Chico is his biggest win... besides that... hatton, de la hoya, mosley, baldomir, judah, marquez??? Whats the difference between that resume and cottos??? For me they are both good resumes with good names on it.....

Gatti Mayweather has to be one of the biggest mismatches in a big name fight ever, at least one of the biggest I've seen. It won't look that bad but I do think Floyd should win relatively easily.

Who said decisive blah blah...I would argue Margarito was an elite Welter when they fought and it was a war despite the loss. Clottey was a tough out and that was a good fight. Mosley was still elite when Cotto fought him in a very good fight. Judah wasn't far from being the undisputed Welter champ. Pac was a tough, really good fight until the fifth.

He's never lost to borderline guys like Robinson and Manfredy or Mickey Ward. Torres was a huge struggle, but a step or three up form Rodriguez.

I'm hardly overrating Cotto. He's a very good fighter short of being a great one. He has a Vargas-like tendency to be in good fights no matter who he is in with. If Mayweather runs Cotto like he did Gatti, it is IMPRESSIVE because Cotto is a superior opponent. Cotto is a level above Gatti.

He's very short of being a great one.

It's significantly better.

Cotto might not get "Gatti'ed" but he is sure done at elite level.

Cotto is a superior boxer to Gatti is every single facet of the game.

TS is 'tarded.

Who exactly at the time was Cotto supposed to fight? You're way off point. Miguel has a great resume and fought anyone that he possibly could. Cotto beating Mosley was greater than any Mayweather win so I don't know how you're yapping(corrales maybe?). The Clottey, Torres, and Judah wins were also good wins. Anyone can sit there, sit back years later, and try to pick out places where a fighter struggled. Miguel has given every opponent he has faced a tough time or won(except pac).

As for the question. I know you're asking but if anyone feels this way, you don't know **** about the sport. Floyd might win a lot of rounds, I could see this but the rounds will be competitive. There will be no beat down and Floyd might be hurt more than a few times in this fight. This is Floyds hardest fight in years.

No, no, it really isn't.

Why do you think he isnt an elite fighter?

No, no, it really isn't.

I'd love to know who you would rank ahead of Mosley in 07 on Floyds resume. Castillo wasn't. Outside of the Johnston fights, Castillo was not a great fighter. His resume was over blown and his p4p ranking was based completely on accomplishments that he never achieved. Hernadez was a good win but over Shane and Shanes domination over Vargas, come on. The only leg you can stand on is Corrales. Floyds resume is good but it isn't much better than Miguels.
