Comments Thread For: Mayweather: If a War Erupts, Cotto Will Not Outfight Me!

[PRPOWERPUNCHES]

Watch the latest Floyd vid on Fighthype where he talks about him being different then everyone else. Where he says that just like Cotto fighting Margarito who has bad footwork and cant pivot right.

To me its like Shane fighting Floyd after he fought Margarito. It was a shock to his system and its going to be a shock to Cotto's system. Floyd is going to be so much more faster than Margarito, more skilled, way better defense, etc.....

Its bad to go from fighting Margarito to Floyd in the very next fight. Cotto will see the difference quickly and it will be bad for him

I have to agree to disagree.. I don't have to go to fight hype to hear
Floyd blow smoke up people's ass. I'm going by what I know about Cotto and
his new stamina, training to go long with his ring smarts will be a problem for anyone! Speed can be slowed down with counter punches, which I think Cotto willl be able to land. Cotto will unlease a full blown attack on Floyd for the first 6 rounds and lets see how he handles that and then we'll talk about Cotto getting tired and Floyd's speed getting faster.

Man both you guys are lost in the sauce.. Do you know what it's like having
a monster chase you down throwing 90 punches a round and you having to fight back and score points? That's what Cotto had to deal with Margacheato and didn't get tired until the 10th Rd but he still one that round. All I'm saying is, it's a lot harder for Cotto to fight going backwards that it is him moving forward. Get ready muther***ers, Cotto can shock the world!

There's a trend with Mayweather, one very hard to ignore too. His opponent tends to throw and land less than he's ever before. You can't win if you're offensively stagnant. Cotto won't even average 50 punches thrown per round, and his connect rate will most likely be low. Mayweather's defense is gonna force Cotto to be economical cuz he won't find many clean openings, and Cotto doesn't like to throw for the hell of it. Now, this is assuming that Mayweather boxes, but he will probably aim to walk Cotto down. This might give Cotto more openings, but his own defense is gonna have to be tight, and he's gonna have to be willing to throw with Floyd (use his great timing), instead of trying to slip his offense.

Walk Cotto Down, seriously 50?

He better be wearing bricks in his gloves and Cotto better had been
beaten for 6 rounds first.. Bottom line, Cotto will be bringing it all night!

how does that prove your point unless you think he gets tired after 4 rounds. Thats ******. When you are talking about a fighter wearing down, your atelast talking about the 8th round, atleast.

I dont think Cotto being fresh means nothing. To me its not about Cotto at all. Its about Floyd. I just dont know how long it will take him to get going. It literally has nothing to do with Cotto in my mind.

Its just about Floyd being older & inactive. He's not going to look bad no matter what. Its like this, if Floyd fought someone else this week and then fought Cotto in 4 months then I would take this bet in a heartbeat because I know Floyd would be on point. Right now he might be a lil rusty.

Still, I trust what Roger says and Ill take your bet. Its not like I said Cotto was going to be up 4-0 or even 3-1. I think at worst its 2-2. Again, if you think Cotto is going to tire in the 5th round then your point makes no sense. Lets bet. I think Floyd will be sharpe and be aggressive from the jump. Atleast by round 3 like he was with Ortiz.

Cotto wore down after 5/6 with Marg, and after 4 with Pacquiao, that initial vibrant energy was gone.

Mosley was gone after 2 with Mayweather.

2-2 after 4 round and I win.

And Pacquiao has that energy for 12 rounds.

i think a lot of ppl are gonna be shocked at how well cotto doesnt do.

Once Floyd senses that Cotto is beginning to fade (assuming he does fade), he'll try to walk Cotto back. I say 50 because against Margarito (2nd fight), he threw 493 punches (43% connect) in 10 rounds, that's an average of 49 punches per round. This is against a guy who presents a stationary target, a glorified punching bag lol. Against Foreman, he threw 329 in 9 rounds, averaging 36 per round. Now, my analysis is flawed cuz I'm not taking into account how Diaz's training has affected him when compared to Steward's regimen. But my point is, Cotto is a more measured fighter now, and against a guy with world-class defense/speed/reflexes, Cotto is bound to have problems landing on Floyd. Floyd might not hit hard, but Cotto sure does swell/cut easily, and Floyd's precision is gonna make Cotto's cut-man earn his money lol. If Cotto gets cut badly or his eyes begin to swell, he will start to fight on the back-foot a lot more, making Floyd the aggressor.

Hopefully they've been training on how to slip and counter the lead right.

1-margo was landin shots on cotto, so what floyd gonna do?

4- conditioning will ALWAYS be a factor in a cotto fight, floyd could go 15
5- well, number 5 is floyd wins lol peace ya'll

Like how they were shocked when Pacquiao took Cotto apart?

Uncle Roger thought Cotto would win, but he don't know ***** about boxing!

No way does Mayweather beat Cotto more convincingly than Pacquiao did.

Mosley was gone after 2 with Mayweather.

2-2 after 4 round and I win.

And Pacquiao has that energy for 12 rounds.

deal and I also disagree with you about Cotto wearing down. Just because a guy starts losing doesnt mean he lost his stamina. Maybe the class just rose to the top. Pac is better and thats a fact.

Pac took over after 4 rounds because he is the better fighter, not because of Cotto's stamina. Thats my point. Cotto wore down against Margarito because he was getting pressured by a big man who throws alot of punches and because he's running for his life. Floyd will take over but it wont have anything to do with stamina.

It will be because Floyd's class will soon show. He's a level above. Very rarely will a good fighter get blown out from the 1st second of a fight. If it starts to happen in round 4, 5, or 6 it doesnt always mean that he tired. Maybe the better fighter just took over

All of you MoFo's drinking the same hyped filled Koolaid about Lil Floyd Mayweather. All of the sudden Lil Floyd is some type of beast as if he was freaking Mike Tyson or something. All of you followers are buying into his hype. Everyone the Mayweather fought was either going down hill and way smaller opposition. Im gonna break it down for all of you bunch of followers.

This is Mayweather's so called best boxing record in the history of boxing. Fighting a bum with no skills in Gatti, Fighting an old slow limited boxer in Baldomir, fighting a down hill 35 year old Delahoya that was in a war with Trinidad, got beat by Mosley twice and got KO'd by Hopkins. Fighting a small overrated unskilled Ricky Hatton. Fighting a small Juan Manuel Marquez and if my memory is not mistaken, Mayweather was two pounds over the weight limit and had to pay Marquez $600k penalty cause of the weight advantage. Then he fought an old 38 year old Mosley that had already been beaten by Cotto. Let's not forget the infamous KO of silly unexperienced kid in Victor Ortiz via sucka punch. WOW!!!!!!! In my opinion, Cotto would of gave all of those opponents a beat down with the exception of Dela**** (It would be a close fight).

The only fights I legitimately give Floyd Mayweather credit for is his masterful beat down of Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo and Zab Judah. After those fights, he had the leverage to pick and choose his opponents and fight them when they were either going down hill or too small in size. The rest of his fights were a bunch of snoozz fest.

We can all agree that all of Cotto's opponents were in their prime. He brutally KO'd an undefeated Kelson Pinto, KO'd undefeated Ricardo Torres, gave a brutal beat down to undefeated Paulie Malignaggi, brutally KO'd Carlos Quintana who later when on to give Paul Williams his first defeat, brutally KO'd Alfonso Gomez without breaking a sweat, out boxed the boxer in Mosley who back then was only 34 years old and only losses were to Vernon Forrest and Winky Wright.

Cotto's only two losses were to Margacheato with loaded gloves whose fought like dirt since they found the plaster and to catchweight king Pacquiao who lured Cotto into making his biggest multi million dollar purse by making him starve down to 145lbs (Cotto pretty much trained himself for that fight cause his trainer just to be his spit bucket caddy).

I have the utmost respect to Cotto cause he got balls. He never backed down from a fight, fought his opponents in their prime and took everything like a MAN. So all of you can continue to follow the heard like a bunch cattle and sheep. My boy Cotto is gonna give a much better fight than all of you ****s think.....

I'll Im trying to prove here is that Cotto is no slouch and has a good chance of potentially beating Mayweather or at the very least, make it a competitive fight. But saying that Cotto is getting KO'd by Floyd is just ridiculous.
