Is Mayweather-Cotto 2 a competitive fight?

[remi]

May vs Pac is the joke fight. Pac has been fighting c level fighters and he gets a pass, but Mayweather has been fighting champs and guys coming off wins and he gets crucified. When Mayweather busts up Pac like he did Gatti (RIP), he crybabies will say that Mayweather cherrypicked pac, and how he waited until Pac got old and all the other dumb **** you people say on here. Personally, I don't want to see the fight because I lost interest a long time ago. There are many other intriguing fights to be made, so lets encourage that, **** Mayweather and Pac, more so Pac for fighting Algerie and now he may fight Vargas. Why don't he fight Canelo, or Broner, Maidana, because Bob will never put him in there with the likes of these fighters.

you what? Floyd fought cotto after pacman beat the living daylights out of him. id like to see Floyd fight pacman rather than waffling on about being a ****ing boss! just making himself look like a right ****.

Piss of dead sht , 145 and 10 pounds bigger is a world of difference and only fanboys disregard the weights like they dont matter , when these top guys are splitting a pound or 2 and you think 10 dont matter , ******ed .

I hate excusing fights when there's another fight we all want to see, but this fight on its own, to me, this fight has its appeal. I don't think Floyd was impressive when they fought at 54, and I do think Cotto is fighting better now. If the middleweight belt is on the line, the catchweight has to be above 155, that's only one pound over jmw. That would be embarrassing. At least 3 pounds over jmw would suffice - 157.

What's the point of a 157 catchweight, neither will likely come in at the limit. Cotto weighed 154 when he fought Mayweather and 155 when he fought Martinez.

Not interested in this fight. Not too long ago a majority of the Mayweather fans said he was too small to face the best at middleweight, now they want to see him make history. Go figure.

Pac fought and beat the no3 p4p guy less than a year ago, while Floyd fought a guy who couldn't win a single round against Devon Alexander, twice! but ok.

It depends.

Does Mayweather stick and move or does he make it and 'exciting fight for the fans' and stay on the ropes.

If he boxes its not even competitive. If he stays on the ropes then Cotto stands a better chance.

Cotto went 39-0 at 140 and is 7-4 above that weight.

So it's hard to make a case that he was a better fighter when he fought Floyd at 154 especially when he barely won a round against Austin Trout a few mths later at the same weight.

I think it is a competitive fight. Floyd, IMO, is declining badly and in his desire to avoid the Pacquaio fight, might just be stepping inadvertently into another dangerous fight. I know people think the Martinez fight was some sort of mirage but I think there was plenty positives in that fight from Cotto. He looked strong, fit, well-balanced and confident. And he's always done well against movers.

The problem with this fight is context. It's a good fight at the expense of two phenomenal ones - Pac-Floyd and Canelo-Cotto.

In a parallel universe where boxing wasn't run so shambolically, those two fights would happen first, and the winners square off for all the marbles.

10-2 is not competitive.

Sure if that was the score. Fight was more like 8-4 7-5. 8-4 is as low as u could go on that fight. 10-2 na. Whoever scored it that low didn't see the same fight I did. Mayweather certainly won. Cotto certainly ran out of gas. A better trained and conditioned cotto will give mayweather problems.

[Don Pichardo]

**** this fight!!! Mayweather ruined two great fights...May vs Pac and Canelo vs Cotto.

Relax ese. Both those fights are going to happen. Just not when u want them. Be patient.

[Weebler I]

I think it's competitive, I don't mind the fight. First bout was hard fought, but Cotto looks in better shape now and has a better trainer. Floyd didn't look so great in 2014 so there's intrigue.

It's just that it comes at the expense of Pacquiao fight, and a Canelo fight, that's the problem.
