5 reasons why Cotto has no chance against Floyd!

[-MAKAVELLI-]

this is one of those 'i hope he lands a lucky shot with enough time in the round' kinda fights for Cotto


he's gonna get potshotted for 12rounds

that jab to the body is gonna stall most of his offense and Floyd will find the right range to pick off Cotto's shots and counter

I was going give you a green k and call you a ***** until I notice this was from Btalk and not from the TS!!! Lol, Serious nothing to add here.

1. Cotto will not outbox Mayweather.
If Cotto attempts to outbox Mayweather Jr, he will be picked apart. Mayweather Jr is a master boxer who cannot be outboxed due to his wide array of skills and defensive wizardry. Cotto will not be able to utilize the same successful strategy he used against much slower fighters such as Clottey, Margarito, Mayorga, and Foreman. If he does, he will get embarassed by the much faster and skilled Mayweather.

2. Cotto cannot handle superior speed.
As witnessed against Pacquiao, Cotto cannot deal with superior speed. Cotto stated that he could not see where Pacquiao's punches were coming from due to the odd angles. Against Mayweather, it will be no different. While Mayweather may not punch from the same odd angles that Pacquiao punches from, he still has a quick hand release and opponents never know what punch is coming at them next. Mayweather's fast pull back counter right hand, lead right hand, jab to the pit of the stomach followed by the left hook up top, shoulder roll-counter uppercut, in addition to everything else he has in his deep bag of tricks, will consistently find its mark repeatedly which Cotto will not be able to deal with. Margarito and Mayorga, who are considered slow handed fighters, were able to hit Cotto more than a fighter of his caliber should get hit.

3. Cotto does not like to get hit anymore.
Miguel Cotto has lost his appetite to take punishment after his first loss against Margarito. He no longer likes to put himself in the line of fire by stalking his opponents and relies more on lateral movement and overusing his legs to get out of harm's way. Against a sharpshooter like Mayweather, he will get hit whether he likes it or not which will lead to him focusing on avoiding the incoming fire from Mayweather thus costing him the majority of the rounds.

4. Cotto's recent subpar opposition.
The public should not be fooled by Cotto's performances against Yuri Foreman, Ricardo Mayorga, and Antonio Margarito. It is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. Foreman and Mayorga are not elite fighters and it showed against Cotto. As for Margarito, Cotto won the fight fair and square but the fact remains that Margarito had a surgically repaired eye and was a few steps slower from the beating Pacquiao gave him. Despite this, he was still able to give Cotto another tough fight. Many wonder if Cotto would have made through the last few rounds had the fight not been stopped. Although Cotto deserves full credit for these fights, let's face it, these 3 fighters are not anywhere near the class of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

5. Cotto has never faced a defensive wizard such as Mayweather.
Given the fact that Cotto has never faced a defensive genius such as Mayweather, it is hard to imagine that he will know how to break down Mayweather's defense. Mayweather's shoulder roll, ability to duck and slip punches, and superior foot speed is something that Cotto has never experienced in his career and it will show come fight night.Courtesy of Btalk!

1. Opinion not a reason.

2. It was not Pacquiao's speed was the main problem it was his pressure that Cotto could not deal with, same with Marg first time round. Floyd cannot apply that pressure.

3. Mayweather likes getting hit less that Cotto. Cotto is quite good defensively and has a decent chin and can counter and will always be a threat.

4. Cotto opposition has not been of the highest standard but neither has Mayweather's, Cotto beats Marquez, Mosley and Ortiz.

5. Cotto is a very accurate puncher and does not waste punches, he is not going to just throw punches against Mayweather's guard, he will pick his spot, he has learned from his Pacquiao experience.

He was good enough to not fight without a CW to drain him , he was now good enough to be Mannys first choice of opponent until Cotto refused to be drained again and thats against the P4P No 1 lol .

Maybe you should reword your comment because its not appropriate , from Cotto not being good enough to Floyd is too good , its getting to the point Floyd is ragged on because he his too good , its a joke that Manny is glorified for draining Cotto and then ducking him with another CW and Floyd going up and fighting him at the full 154 is ragged on , something seriously wrong in fandom .

shut up , *****.

go talk to someone else with your pacroid vs. gayweather crap.


we're talking about cotto's mediocrity here.

It was the draining CW , why do you think Manny WOULD NOT fight Cotto to this day without a CW that drains him , dont brag about beating a guy that has lead in his feet forced by a contract .

Floyd will throw around 40 punches a round, very comfortable for Cotto. Cotto gets flustered when some is throwing 80+ a round and his defence falls apart.
