Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto: One and Probably Done

[Sheppirino]

Everybody save my words:
Cotto will make Junior bleed!!!

Do you think bleeding will discourage Floyd and cause him to panic? It won't. Emmanuel Augustus (then Burton) bloodied Floyd's nose early in his career and what happened? And yeah I know Cotto is light years better than Augustus was but so was just about every champion that Floyd ever beat.

No doubt Cotto will get some shots in since he has hit every opponent he's ever faced. But unless this guy has totally reinvented himself, has a plan b, c, and d his chances of winning are slim.

The upsets of the year 2012 are going to be Bradley > Pacquiao and Cotto > Mayweather Jr.. LOL

Im hoping so all this talk can stop and the fanboys will leave. Pac already lost alot so lets go Cotto and Bradley

It's sad when somebody has to correct Floyd's (you know, the same guy who made fun of Pacquiao's education) math after each of his fights.

ahahha......funny sigy........green kay for you my good sir....

The only boxing plan Cotto and his trainer has is not to lose badly. Anyone who think Miguel has a chance has to be a Floyd hater. I'm sorry but not this time. 43-0 with possibly KO.

It's kinda of hard to have a rival when you take 2 year vacations when competition does exist.

And floyd is steering pretty clear of his current rivals Pacquiao and Martinez. If he really wanted to prove he was the best he would have signed already instead of letting them get even older than they already are.

Floyd has ATG skill, but he doesnt deserve to be on the list. The best fight the best.

Hard to disagree with this. Floyd is probably the best combination of skill and athleticism in the last 10 years. He's far from the most athletic or even the best at his peak (RJJr at his peak was so far above the field athletically it was sick with two clear wins against two of the best fighters of their generation at their absolute peak (Hopkins and Toney)). Mayweather could be a top 25 all-time fighter, if he earned it in the ring against the best. He simply won't do it. Martinez is hands down the best 154 lber in the world. Why isn't he fighting Mayweather? It so bad for Martinez he has to fight above his natural weight at 160 because nobody will fight him. Why fight Cotto? Nobody fully recovers from the beatings like Cotto took from Pacquiao and Margarito. He is a diminished fighter. Maybe not shot, but definitely diminished. Looking good against Margarito in their second fight means nothing--Mosley looked good against Margarito after looking awful against Mayorga. How'd Mosley look against Mayweather and Pacquaio and Sergio Mora? Like the worn out fighter he is. Margarito wins through durability (and loaded gloves). He isn't hard to look good against. Pacquiao is the class of 147. Why isn't Mayweather making that fight? Truth be told, Mayweather will be remembered more for the whatifs, than anything. He chose to chase the money rather than the legacy.

by Cliff Rold - Cotto may be physically diminished after a 2008 loss to Antonio Margarito and a 2009 loss to Manny Pacquiao, but he’s far from shot. [Click Here To Read More]

The thing is, though, that until this fight was made, most Mayweather fans were claiming that Cotto was already shot by the time Pacquiao faced him. They are strangely silent about that now.

Floyd suckers lunatics are in space. If you think that your asteroid is unbreakeable you all must to be on some kind of substances. Bottom line is a man isn't immortal because blood is running troughs their veins. Human being.

[alexander28]

You are full of **** too if you think that's their plan isn't that a joke?

[ChiTown2Diego]

I'm pulling for my boy Cotto but I know better. Miguel has too much mileage to give Floyd any true opposition.

Bottom line Cotto's face doesn't hold up anymore. He'll be busted up by the 9th, 10th or 11th causing the ref to stop the fight. Margz busted up Cotto's face in the rematch and that's that he barely got to him.

[Fistic]

cotto is a very average fighter who is not exciting and absorbs way too many hits. This will be a very easy win for Floyd and a bruising for the worn out tired cotto. Cotto has limited skills and reflexes.

You haven't watched many of his fights have you? No need to answer.
