Miguel Cotto vs FMJ ,2006 @147..who wins?

[D4thincarnation]

In 2006? Cotto had barely moved to WW. Cotto-Mayweather should have happened in 2008 after Hatton and Mosley.

Cotto was a beast back in 2008, very offensive, had that belief and I think Miguel would have taken the fight.

Very fast, great combination, good head movement, and those body shots.

This was one of the reasons why Floyd retired (vacation)

Cotto's my favorite fighter but I am also a Floyd fan, and Floyd didn't retire to avoid Cotto but it certainly increased the odds of that fight no happening. TR/GBP issue was a big stepping stone but Floyd knew who he wouldn't have to fight in his retirement. That being said I've never picked against Floyd and I wouldn't here either. I called the Floyd/Cotto fight perfectly I knew it would be Floyds toughest fight and Cotto would give him hell because HE is how you beat Mayweather.

Cotto is the only guy I ever thought could beat Mayweather (that isn't a MW) but I would never favor him to beat Mayweather. I think his best shot was back in 2008 though not even because of Cotto's mental state (he was better than ever after the Marg win) but because he could take a much better punch and had better stamina.

Cotto was sharper back then also, quicker with his combos, willing to take more of a risk and better reflexes in my opinion.


He gained experience and improved tactically as he got older but was not the physical force he was in his younger days.

Floyd would 115-113 Cotto in 08? Lmmfao! Floyd would've beat his ass worse than he already did. Would've been a shutout.

Floyd would've been even more blazing back then also!

After the severe beating Cotto took from Margarito and then Pacquiao, Cotto lost a lot physically.

He was not the same fighter as he was back in 2008.

The Ricky Hatton fight would suggest otherwise.

Cotto 2008 beats that Floyd by 4/5 rounds, and probably drops him.

[TGD]

Mayweather by wide points decision. Possibly even stops Cotto late on. Mayweather was probably at his best around 2007

The Hatton fight tells you nothing. Floyd knocked him out. Floyd would've beat Cotto's ass. Their fight is my evidence. The harder you go at Floyd, the harder he fights.

there's a reason why cherrypicker ducked a prime Cotto
