Nice matchup... no complaints from me on this one
Nice matchup... no complaints from me on this one
Thanks, I enjoy it too, but I'm glad others appreciate it
Late but not too late...Cotto still has skills that could trouble Floyd, he still has power, he still has timing, he's still a big boy. Cotto is more in his prime than Oscar, Shane, and Zab were ALSO let's not forget that Floyd is getting older and perhaps slowing down.
It should be a great fight and whoever wins gets nothing but respect from me....I hope it's Cotto because Floyd is a smug little bastard (albeit a great boxer), but either way 100% respect from me. It's not a catchweight, it's a very legit very dangerous fight for either fighter. I love the matchup!!!
I hate to say this only cause diane is a huge fan, but floyd even stepping up in weight (which pac forced him to drop) will have very little if any problems with cotto. This is however probably one of the better non pac match ups tho. Way way better than the riddiculous canelo idea. The worst part about this whole match up is the pre made excuses that are already there after floyd does win. After 24/7 and all that garbage 80% of fans who question the outcome will belive cotto is the saviour ...loss, rinse, repeat and we'll be back here in the blink of the eye trying to convince ourselves now _______ is the guy to beat him. Better than the nothing we were getting before this i guess

Cotto has to improve his stamina.
I can see a martinez fight in november for floyd.
Anyone think that floyd can ever be comfy at 154?
I don't think 154 will ever be a "natural" weight for him. He seems like a sterotypical "hardgainer" -- very low bodyfat, and a struggle to bulk up. Even if he quit training, I don't think he'd suddenly blow up. Look at Roger and Floyd Sr.
Honestly, I think he could still be making 140 fairly easily if he really wanted to.
I'd definitely like to see him vs. Martinez at 154 next though. That's a much more competitive fight than Pacquiao -- probably the biggest challenge out there (besides the same fight at 160).
This is the fight I wanted, Cotto can fight from the outside and he has proper discipline to cope with Floyd. It's so nice to come on Saddo's and have a group of people talking some sense. I've been on Boxing Asylum and I'm sure Eastside would be the same, which are full of bating trolling rubbish with barley a good post among them.
And that's gonna be a problem for Cotto. Two things a fighter has to do just to be competitive against Mayweather is work behind an effective jab and try to at least maintain some sort of body attack on him. Cotto has no chance if he strictly head hunts
Cotto's set in his ways. Cotto does what Cotto wants in the ring
Cotto beat Mosley with his jab, he did a great job with it. I think if Cotto can handle Judah's hand speed then he can do ok vs Floyd.
It should be a good fight, Cotto isn't in bad fights.
Hell yes!! Good for Miguel. He deserves a big fight like this.
Do I think he can win, well duh, of course I do. I wouldn't be a fan if I didn't believe. I honestly think if he comes in with the right game plan, and executes it, he can win. My biggest worry would be his stamina in the late rounds. And if he loses, no shame in that, he would be losing to one of the best out there right now. Then his only two legitimate losses would be to the #1 and #2 guys in the world.
Miguel should wear trunks and a robe that look like prison stripes.
