If you hear "DOWN GOES MAYWEATHER" what would be your reaction?

[w/Attitude]

With all due respect. Do you mind keeping ur tags off my comments and stop slanderizing, I don't know you, but I can understand we're all adults here and each one of us has the right to voice our opinion.
If you're calling Cotto a Bum, even after he's vanquished your mexican hero well then that speaks volumes for the credibility in your posts. No one likes a tool.

yeah a marg who had a fecked up eye.

cotto cut that eye with a grazing ass jab.


the cotto win should go on pac's boxrec too.

he hurts his opponents more than mayweather does.

but may is more accurate and faster with it. who knows?

but neither guy is really a one punch ko or kd guy..... and for cotto that's what he needs to beat floyd. floyd doesn't need to kd or ko cotto to win.


cotto might be better overall than some of those guys i mentioned but like i said before.

it's not about that.

it's about them bringing something to the table that can trouble mayweather.

whether it be speed , size , strength , reach , stamina , power , chin , etc.

cotto brings nothing to the table.

You are underestimating Cotto imo. With the exception of maybe Oscar Floyd has not fought anyone as good as Cotto from 147-154. Im not saying that Floyd will lose but this isn't Mayweather Gatti or Mayweather Hatton like u seem to think.

To wake up..

[al-Xander]

People automatically assume that Cotto would apply pressure in this fight like some suggest when fighting a guy like Floyd. Cotto has a new weapon now -- a bike. It worked for him in the Marg fight. It was a very different Cotto. Not saying Floyd is Marg but Mayweather might end up being the chaser in this fight like in his fight against Mitchell. Cotto's counters may stop Floyd on his tracks and whether he could take it without being rattled remains to be seen. That would define the nature of this fight. No such thing as hit and not get hit in Floyd's fights. He does get hit.

nope.

i'm not a floyd fan nor a cotto fan.

you're a cotto fan.

which one of us do you think is off in their estimates because of personal feeling or opinion?


cotto will be outclassed. the only times he'll be able to do anything is for brief moments when floyd gets on the ropes or when floyd is taking a round off.

we've seen cotto with 1 great fighter before. we all so how it ended up.

this 2nd one he's fighting is even better technically , taller and longer reach.

Best comment in the entire thread. I'd be shocked. Floyd has a good chin, those shots from Mosley where he still didn't go down are a testament to that.

If Floyd starts walking Cotto down in this fight, like he did with Mosley and Ortiz, Cotto has NO SHOT. Floyd isn't a Margarito or Maidana that comes forward and just throws wild punches. Floyd applies smart pressure, while still being able to get out of dodge usually while doing so.

If Cotto lets Floyd walk him down, NO SHOT. If he tries to box with Floyd, NO SHOT. If he applies pressure and can get Floyd backing up, and cut off the ring from him, he has a shot. Victor cut the ring off from a couple times in the 2nd and 4th round against Floyd when he had him backing up, and he had some moments in those rounds. You have to cut the ring off once you get Floyd backing up, because if you don't, he'll just move around you and get back to the center of the ring. No one beats Floyd in the center of the ring and even when you have him on the ropes, its very difficult to land anything, as seen in Victor's last flurry before the headbutt, he landed 2-3 punches clean there, and people said that was his best moment in the fight.

I really see Floyd performing even better against Cotto in this fight, unless 154 lbs really affects him in anegative way, though I don't think so. He looked good at 154 against Oscar in 07', no way that fight was a SD, but Cotto has more left now than Oscar did at that point. He's past his prime-still good, where as Oscar was just past his prime. But, what Oscar did in that fight was not allow Floyd to start walkign him down, and instead he jumped all over Floyd and kept him on the ropes for the first 6-7 rounds. Even though he didn't land much, it must of had an impact on the judges cards, because they scored it a SD. But, like I said earlier, even if you get Floyd on the ropes, it's hard to land anything still. Floyd was tagging Oscar off the ropes, and did so against Ortiz too.

This time around, Floyd isn't come off a 16 month layoff like he did against Ortiz, and Ortiz is just as explosive as Cotto is, if not more so right now. I think Floyd will look even more sharp.

There is no doubt that I will be rooting for Cotto but that has nothing to do with the points in my posts. U dont have to be a Mayweather or Cotto fan to underestimate or overestimate either fighter.Like I said Cotto is not a Hatton or Gatti class of fighter like your posts indicate.

As far as your Pac point that means absolutely nothing in this discussion. Pac brings things to the ring Mayweather doesn't like workrate,pressure,and explosive power. All of those things just happen to be Cotto's proven weaknesses. Your prediction of a Mayweather winis probably going to be right and I predict the same outcome but you're underestimating Cotto imo.
