Comments Thread For: SHO VP: Mayweather's Backup Options - Cotto and Khan

[batista84]

Better than Pac's options. I'd rather see May/Cotto II than Pac/Vargas... and there's no way I'm paying for May/Cotto II.

I wouldn't pay for neither of those fights, Floyd vs Pac it's their only option if both Floyd and Pacquiao want to make good numbers again.

Team pac getting ready to walk...again so i dont mind either option.

[KTFO]

Anyone else find it odd that the VP of SHO is publicly going over Floyd's options? I can't remember any other VP talking like a promoter or matchmaker, but maybe it's just me.

Somebody out here pointed out that it would be floyd-cotto 2 and pac-khan in the uk...

[batista84]

I been done with this fight idc if it happens khan does not deserve the fight and would get beat cotto made the fight close and busted floyd up a rematch is called for

you must tbe within the 3% dumb fan base who wants May vs Cotto II, no one really wants that fight.

[Don Pichardo]

You are a Floyd fan trying to deflect. I can smell it.

floyd will duck khan

he'll fight over the hill soft touch cotto again

U can't possibly think khan is anywhere near as dangerous as Cotto do u?

you floyd guys are so easily manipulated by your hero. floyd posts a picture of him in a meeting with pacman and you assume he is trying hard to make the fight. he is just trying to save face. he is just trying to make it seem this way. we know manny would put a pen to paper with no hesitation. floyd won't. bottom line. sure the networks are not in full agreement but the other outstanding issues are floyd trying to get his way pushing bob out. it's really silly. and people wonder why arum keeps making public comments.

Tell us again who these "fast" fighters Floyd didn't fight are.

are you serious? khan has excellent hand speed and workrate. both give an older fighter like mayweather trouble. he already knows how to beat cotto and it would be at 155 (they already fought at 154). khan is so much more dangerous in terms of taking a possible loss. Cotto is the same guy he was then. Freddy didn't make him into some super saiyan version of himself its just cotto has been in with the right competition. we have already seen cotto in with mayweather and it was a fairly competitive yet clear floyd win. Floyd knows cotto's style and he can adjust to the few tweaks roach throws in for the rematch. with khan floyd would be facing a fighter that presents him with obstacles he has not seen in several years. hand speed (fastest in WW), in and out movement, ability to control range (the struggle to control range early will be tense), workrate (which floyd will not be able to slow down early), and the fact Floyd is not going to be able to punch hard enough to KO Khan. Face it a fight with Cotto is a fight we already have seen and know how it ends up. A fight with Khan will suprise many especially early on. Khan is clearly much more competitive. Khan is in his prime and coming into his own.

Who do you think wins the fight?
