Does Cotto have a chance against Floyd?

[pbftxrs316]

hell no--but cotto is a fighter--he will train hard and he will lose----he's always had a tempered pace which has been tricky against faster fighters but he's never faced a fighter like floyd, he's not fighting manny--he's fighting a complete fighter---he showed some success against manny in the 1st couple of rounds until the kd's--but i don't see him being nothing more than a moving punching back against floyd who will systematically wear his ass down and stop him in the mid rounds---

A left hook to the body that Floyd didn't see. Otherwise no but would love to be suprised that the fight is very competitive

I'm surprised so many people are saying no. Although I seriously doubt Cotto will win, I can see him causing Mayweather a lot of trouble. He's got a decent, strong jab, he's pretty accurate with his punches and he's generally pretty tough.

That said, I think Mayweather takes it on points...

Cotto will get embarassed, and those jabs will be countered as soon as he puts them out there.

If Cotto can back Mayweather up, he'll be tough to beat. When Floyd lays on the ropes with that high guard, you can be sure a left hook to the body is coming.

That said, of course Floyd has the better overall skills and speed. Cotto has the power. He also has a good stiff jab.

As an aside, isn't it kind of sad that Floyd's toughest test is from a past prime Cotto that Pacquiao destroyed? Why is Floyd fighting Pacquiao's leftovers? Of course we know, "we're not fighting to see who the best is, we're in the cheque cashing business"

I agree in a way, I think the fight will probably turn into that in the later rounds. Early on though, I could see Cotto having some sucess.

Serious fans shouldn't be brushing off fighters so easily.

You mean Margaritto's, no Plasteritto's leftovers right?
If you are going to reassign credit give it where it belongs.

I don't even like Floyd, I hope he gets KTFO to be quite honest... witht hat said, Cotto is going to get embarassed.

I don't think Cotto has the tools to win, but I can still pray for the upset.
