....why are you in your feelings...you dont have to prove anything, your posts already do that for you. you always try to play devils advocate with very little substance, facts, or boxing assessments...its usually 60% emotion....30% trolling...10% actual boxing information
its not that difficult to know when someone hasnt followed boxing a long time
you dont have to be a rocket scientist to draw the conclusion that a prime mayweather was simply better than a 35 year old version and at a more natural weight than 154
also Cotto was still a little green...wouldve been in over his head at that time.Comment

Only hardcore Floyd haters and a few of our Puerto Rican brothers think otherwise.
Other than a Judah-esque barrage of nut shots or in-ring hand injury to Floyd, there is basically no path to victory for Cotto. And you can count on one hand the number of significant left hooks (Cotto's money punch) you've ever seen Mayweather clipped with in his career.
A clinic and then stoppage was likely. Too much speed, accuracy, power and big fight experience, along with his own defensive liabilities (shaky chin @ 140, susceptibility to uppercuts) going against Cotto's chances.
Cotto didn't want that work at the time. It is what it is.Comment

That left hook to the body was gonna set up that counter right uppercut off a block every time
Watch what happen to bruseles n others who threw a lot of hooks to the body
Cotto, his team and arum were not as ****** as mayweathets detractors.... Swerve until it's big $$$Comment

mayweather at 140 was at his absolute best, while cotto was a bit chinny and inexperienced at the time. not sure about getting a stoppage ( maybe cuts?) but floyd would have dished out some punishment at that point in time imo but cotto wouldve had his moments as well
the fight would have been much more competitive back in 2008, when floyd slowed down juuuust a little bit, and didnt carry his power as well at 147. meanwhile, cotto was stronger and sturdier at that weight, along with more experience against quality opposition. the mayweather coming off the hatton win vs the cotto coming off the mosley win would have been such a great matchup.
they were both still elite fighters when it finally happened in 2012, but both were well past it by then.Comment

floyd fans and their "shoulda, coulda but didnt" post.
too bad floyd didnt fight cotto at that weight. so now all you're left with is making threads about how floyd could have beaten him, etc.Comment

I think Floyd would have won if they fought at 140. But to say it wouldn't have been competitive is nuts dude. Wtf is wrong with you.
Dude when they finally did fight. Cotto was WAY more shop worn and was just a shelf of his prime self than what the 35 year old Mayweather was compared to his prime self. And you saw how competitive that fight was.
I think a 140lbs fight it would have been competitive and would have had lots of back and forth action. Floyd was fast and skillful but Cotto had good speed too combined with his skill. But I think Floyd would have won in a very competitive fight.
To say it wouldn't have been competitive is nuts and is a type of claim only a fanboy would say.
You know Puglist, imo you show great knowledge and thought at times but then you also say ****** **** like this.Comment
