I think we can all agree, Mayweather-Cotto 2 @ 160lb would be epic!

[vorgaphe]

I'd honestly rather watch him fight Maidana again than this crap.

[ButtScratcher^^]

The cotto fight is another good reason to stall a fight with pacquiao. Remember he can do all this hoopla and exhibition fights: fight khan, fight cotto or even fight God Salka; but, do it after fighting Manny Pacquiao. Then, you are licensed to cherry pick into retirement afterwards. This guy had stalled enough.

I repeat...

Cotto v Floyd 2 isn't something new. We already knew what's going to happen, cotto does not have the stamina to keep up with floyd, it's just how he's built, it changes nothing, he's born to gas out in a 12-round fight--no matter how hard he trains. He just can't make out of 12 rounds without tiring. It is what it is.

With mayweather fight, volume punching is mandatory, because it's already given that no one can outbox floyd, that is his area of expertise--that's his territory--you don't want to be in there. But, the blueprint is already there, floyd's output is very low and say what you will about his accuracy but it's still clearly a weakness that a true elite can exploit. Another weakness he has is, you can get him in full defensive mode if you can decently cut off the ring and has great mix of offense, meaning, when he is in that mode, he is tamed, and the offensive fighter has great chance to get that round,now, floyd has inside game and can counter from time to time, and he can get away with it against lesser fighters, but with true elites, he will have to give that round 99% of the time. This hasn't been truly exploited, not only because he is so good, but, he's isn't fighting those few elites that can truly exploit it. Floyd fans are in denial but Manny Paquiao can easily do this. Easy peasy, every ingredient are all there for manny to just overwhelm floyd. Once pacquiao felt floyd's power is not by any means troublesome, it's really game over, nothing floyd can ever do to stop paquiao, floyd fans may laugh but you will see.

Floyd knew this very clearly from the start, it's as clear as a samurai can smell blood from a very formidable opponent or opponent of his equal powers. That's why he would move heaven and earth to avoid the fight for as long as he can--that's why he's tentative--that's why he can't make up his mind; he's saying manny is not on his level but the way the words comes off out of his mouth holds no weight whatsoever, he clearly knows what's going on.

But, anyway, there is not much to move around avoiding the fight; sooner or later, he's going to fight him not because he wants too but because he doesn't have a choice at all, in short, his back is against the wall, and even the most coward human being on the universe, if you trapped him and back him up in the corner and has nowhere to run, he will eventually come clawing back to fight for his life. All he hope for is for manny to get defeated by father time, surprisingly, it hasn't happen yet, regardless of manny's wear and tear throughout the years. So floyd is trying to stall some more. But folks, they are going to fight sooner or later. It's inevitable.

Thats right, Floyd would make history. Cotto looked good in the first fight too,
He is already alot bigger the Floyd he would be huge on fight night.

Great fight - hope it happens.

What people? Nobody wants to see Cotto vs Floyd 2!!! That's just an out for Floyd, I'm a Cotto fan and I'm not interested!!!!!

cotto needed to quit bull****tin and make the Canelo fight!!!! That's a better fight and now it's dead. SMDH!!!!!!

[optkliluzn]

People are mad because it means no may/pac and no cotto/Canelo.

I do like the fight though. I think Cotto can win. He's got a better shot at beating Floyd than pac does IMO.

I am beyond amazed by this... Cotto got schooled already by mayweather, the weight doesnt change anything besides making cotto slower. May would still come i. At 149 and cotto would be 155 woopdy doo.

[Joeyzagz]

As a Boxing Fan, boxing fan... this fight would be far more Impressive. A former superFeather winning the Lineal Middleweight crown? You cant really top that...

but I think the General Public wont stand for another 8 months of "will he, wont he" Floyd has backed himself into a corner. Its Pacquiao or Bust now.

[Boxing lives]

Do u not think a better conditioned and better trained cotto would lead to a much different fight. I think it would. If may vs paq doesn't happen in May id much rather see the rematch where cotto has a chance to win as opposed to mayweather fighting someone who has absolutely no chance to win. Khan stands zero chance. Don't give be but khans speed doe. Mayweather whipped Shane and zab in three rounds may commences to pick khan apart.

wow i completely disagree with every bit of your logic. shane had speed when floyd fought him? lmao man no. khan is faster than prime zab and faded mosley. khan would be FASTER than floyd. its a fresh match up. much better than seeing cotto get beat again. it will be the same fight. cotto has not changed he just fought 2 opponents that made him look good. if martinez was healthy cotto would have gotten KO'd again

[Southpaw93]

two WW's fighting with the MW title on the line, while GGG is in the stands watching... Not my definition of epic.

QFT for the MW Lineal and WBC MW championship..! Floyd would be a Three division WBC and Lineal champ(simultaneously)

[thecomedian2]

he is so boring and unwatchable.

Theres a reason HBO constantly replays Pacquiao fights and NEVER Mayweather fights.

PPV King(2.4K vs ODLH, 2.2 vs Canelo, 1.5k vs Cotto) is unwatchable? can you tell me what was Pacquiao last PPV numbers? did he even cracked 400k?
