In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
Just out of curiosity....I watched the Quintana VS Cotto fight again yeaterday....Without all this P4P talk and that other stuff that usually goes with it....Who thinks Cotto in about a year would be the Toughest fight of PBF's career....PBF doesnt have the power to hurt him and I was suprised about Cottos speed it is deciving,,,and his power at 147 seems even better especially once he gets a few more bouts under his belt at 147 to really get comfortable with it....Just curious on everyones thoughts?

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life??
Im not sure that Cotto would be able to beat Floyd. I am very sure that he would give Floyd a tough, realy tough fight though. As you say he is quick, powerful, skilled, decent defense he is a very very good fighter IMO. I think Floyd edges anyone right now ATM though at welter or light welter, just too much in the locker. Floyd UD.

Agreed that is why I said Scare.....Also thats why I added a year...IMO Cotto is improving...If he improves as a boxer and gets a little more sound technicly ( how ever you spell it) it would be a great fight....PBF is hands down the more skilled fighter but Cotto has the goods...just an observation is all

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
Cotto is proving more and more that he is indeed the total package fighter. Very technical and very powerful and the move up in weight made him more stable. I will not be surprised that in late '07 or early '08 he will become the number 1 P4P fighter in the world. PBF will be in a world of hurt when he faces this kid.
Cotto has youth, power and skills all in his side!!!

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life??
I think within a couple of years it could well be the biggest fight out there for both men.
I know people (foolishly imo) label Floyd as boring but honestly I can't think of many more pant moistingly good fights as Cotto vs Maywather.
If Cotto continues to improve it could have the potential to be a mega fight on the scale of Leonard vs Duran even.
-
Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
i think his power would give him fits if he could land while Floyd was running around the ring trying to steal rounds....
but i think all the Floyd hype will be gone after an aging DLH is done with him if im honest ;)

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
cotto would hit floyd the hardest hes eevr beeen hit....and i think he could land one of those debilitating body shots and put PBF down.

Truthfully...I'm a big Cotto fan...to the degree that I could be called a "nuthugger" as most bitter queens try to apply that terminology...& there is no way in my mind that I could see Cotto beating or actually even hurting Floyd.
Cotto was ringside at the Brusselles fight for a reason. Bruseles was Cotto's sparring partner in preperation for the Bailey fight & from what I read about Bruseles he gave Cotto a few shakey moments. If you watch Bruseles fight...he either fights very similar to Cotto or tries to mimick him.
Cotto got all he needed sitting ringside when Mayweather stopped Bruseles for the WBC Light Welterweight eliminator. Floyd was ahead between 6 to 8 points on the cards going into the 8th round, he then knocked Bruseles down two or three times and the doc called a halt to it & justly so.
That's about the first time that I've ever see Cotto's expression do an about face like that.
Cotto knows better...& if his fans are smart...they'll no better than to ask for the match to materialize. Myself? I don't want to see Cotto humiliated like that.

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
I don't think Cotto would be that big of a problem for PBF... he isn't quick enough.
-
Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life??
Not just yet but give Miguel a bit more time at 147 and then he will be..PBF may be much much faster but Cotto would bang to his body like no one else has,and Cotto hits harder than anyone Floyd has faced. Also,if Cotto's camp is to be believed,Miguel will no longer have the rounds off which he had at 140,so it'll be constant pressure now. I can imagine those hooks hurting Floyd,and when Miguel switch hits,he could confuse Floyd too...
And as for Brusseles,Wack you are correct that Cotto sparred with him but as we all know sparring is one thing and an actual fight something else first and second,like I said,Cotto will be an improved fighter at 147.
No way would it be a blow out as some think and also,it would be a fight which Floyd,for once in a long long time,would NOT be guaranteed/uber hot favourite to win unlike Baldo,Mitchell etc.....

:coolclick: Agreed 100%. Cotto is wide open to be countered when he goes to the body & Floyd's known for lying on the ropes, taking it to the body, & then hammering out quick short counter hooks up stairs.
Cotto does not need to take this fight if the option arrizes again.

I know...but you also know that some of the best things are found out during sparring matches. Cotto was there & saw how easily Floyd handled him. If Cotto is anything...he's a student of the game...Floyd is three times his superior IWO.
I aint saying Floyd is unbeatable...but it's going to take someone much bigger & equally as fast to handle him.

You make valid points but I'll wait and see what happens with Cotto,at the moment though,he looks a dangerous propostion for anyone. And you can nullify speed with bodywork,a good jab and good handspeed,ingredients Cotto possesses. I don't think Cotto would win just yet but he would be trouble.

I agree with you there...about the body work shutting down speed...I just don't see him being able to catch Floyd with anything meaningful other that body shots. Cotto is one of the most devastating body workers in the game...but you have to really work to get to Floyd's ribs & when you do...his elbows often come down at just the right moment.
I don't know...maybe I'm cutting Cotto short...but I've followed Cotto ever since he went pro. I love the guy...he get's a lot of flack & disdain from some extremely critical & doubtful fans...I just think that it's terribley unfounded. I'd hate to come across as one of those people.

True,Floyd is awfully quick but I tell you something,if you're fast enough,there are a few times you can catch Floyd. When he jabs to body,he is open to a counter(right hand over the jab),when he rolls his shoulder,Jesus Chavez and De Marcus Corley landed looping right hands and because of the position Floyd is with his shoulder,it stunned him because he didn't see the punch coming and JLC worked head and body well in their first fight,confusing Floyd. I've never even seen anyone implement a good jab v Floyd,again,something which Cotto can do. I honestly think Floyd is one of the most talented fighters I have ever seen but I don't think he is unbeatable.

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
I think Cotto is the best for him....I mean he has more pop at 147 than Hatton he seems to lik ethe weight better and I doubt PBF could hurt him with ONE punch (he'd have to flurry)
Cotto goes to the body and if an arm gets in the way he'll hit that too as he did vs Branco....Cotto is a badass
Floyd would be the HEAVY favorite to run and pot shot and use every inch of the ring but I like Cotto's chances on catching him at least ONCE

LMAO,I knew some of you would get a kick out of that but first Tony has been a wrecking machine at 147 and 1 bad night does not cancel all those good nights and second,I bet you change your mind when Tony beats(or gives Cotto a good fight) Cotto and Williams next year ;D 2007 will be big for Margarito.

Yeah...Daxx beat me to that.
Thing is...& you know this...I have never been that impressed with Margarito as I think that he (like most Mexi-fighters of late) throws caution to the wind & forgets to box...thus relying on power & thus...not doing to much in the overall boxing department.
That coupled with the fact that had Clotty not fwocked his hand...he would have lost.
He looked terrible against Clottey...& honestly...I haven't been that impressed with many of his showings against gifted boxers. Sure he looks great against wash ups & under acheivers...but Floyd aint remotely close to either of those descriptions.
Floyd would stomp a mudhole in his ass & walk it dry.
No offense.

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
The one punch power always makes things interestings but I don't think Cotto takes it. He could hurt him a couple times but what we haven't seen Cotto go up against yet is a really good and fast straight puncher. Don't got much time to explain but style matchups like Floyd and even Judah to some degree (Judah would give him serious problems for a bit before he gets broken down) wouldn't work out good for Miguel.
But now that I think about it. There isn't really a blue print to beating Floyd at this point, but there is one thing we know. Floyd likes to give away his body early. Against Baldomir and Judah especially, Floyd is usally concerned about covering up top, with the chin tucked to the shoulder and one hand on the ear. And up to this point we haven't seen him really worked to the body yet. Now of course he would probably alter this to cope with Cotto but you never know.
Hard fight to size up, would definitely be interesting.

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
Not only do I think Cotto would give him the biggest scare but quite possibly his first L. The thing with Cotto is that he doesn't have overwhelming speed but the timing of hi punches is as good as it gets. He has a very sneaky way of getting his punches in. Definitely a fight I wanna see. No way Cotto gets humiliated like Gatti, Baldomir and those type of guys.

Exactly!!! If ever Cotto does lose he will be unscathed.

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
I do, I think Cottos come along just fine and hes really grown. His skills just keep getting better and better as for PBF I mean his been fighting the same way since I could remember one day that style isn't gonna work (Like against JLC) and since he can't rely on another style cause he doesn't have one hes gonna be in trouble....
Cotto on the other hand hes shown signs of being a boxer which hes done best with and that he can become the puncher which is not always the best choice but regardless that means he can mix it up, whats PBF gonna mix it up with from a boxer to a 'runner' ?
I just think as Cotto adds repetoire to his game PBF just focus on improving his skills which like I said have payed off but one day that didn't (JLC) and won't work.
-
Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
I like Cotto, and he looked really strong against Quintana, but Floyd would absolutely toy with him.
Hate on Floyd all you want, but speed and technique beats punching power every single time. Cotto relies on breaking his opponents down with a withering body attack. But you can't wear your opponent down when the guy you're facing is almost impossible to hit. Cotto would spend the fight chasing Floyd around, while Floyd nails him with every punch in the book. If Cotto had trouble with Torres' hand speed, how is he going to handle the fastest fighter on the planet?
I think Cotto gets stopped due to accumulated punishment somewhere around Round 9.

Impossible to hit like when he fought JLC?
Like when he fought Jesus C?
Like when he fought Zab?
Where they didn't even touch him.... Hes not invisible, PBF rolls with pucnhes to the upper part of his body but he can't roll with hooks to the body.

The Castillo fight was a loooong time ago. Floyd is a much more complete fighter than he was then. At that time, Floyd didn't have the same amount of offensive weapons to keep a brawler like Castillo off him. His right hand was completely undeveloped and he relied almost exclusively on quick left hooks. Mayweather '02 and Mayweather '06-'07 are not one and the same.

I always said that a focused Judah was the only guy at 147 who could give Floyd a scare, because he's the only fighter who is blessed with as much speed as Floyd. Thru the first 4 rounds, Judah fought very well, because of his speed, and because Floyd was a little confused by the southpaw stance.
After the first few rounds, Mayweather completely figured Judah out, and gave him a beating over the last 2/3 of the fight.
Cotto doesn't present the speed and style issues that Judah does. He doesn't have nearly the hand or foot speed and therefore will not be able to land significant punches, like Judah was able to do in Rounds 1-4.

I don't think Duran would've gotten rocked by DeMarcus Corley and been in a life and death struggle with Ricardo Torres.
Cotto is a nice young fighter and I'd love to see him in some big fights, but I think his fans need to go a little easy on the hyperbole.

Never said.... Not sure where you read that.
I was mearly pointing out the fact that most people felt that SRL was far toooo skilled and light years ahead of Duran. And also like you that Speed and skill will beat Power.

You mean when OLDH fought Sturm.... ;) Cause ODLH was the one moving up in weight...
I must have hit a nerve if I made you resort to coming back at me with a ODLH blow... ;)
Sharmba #2 Welterweight? ??? rated by who? You?..... Now I know your joking, he had only fought once at Welter prior to the PBF fight how can anyone rate him #2 ? When your the #1 P4P fighter in the world (which I don't dispute) you fight the best, Hatton moved up to 147 and fought Collazo the WBA Champ. someone with 147 credabilty... Credit due to Hatton for taking on someone with a heartbeat for his 1st fight at Welter.
PBF moves up in weight and with other fightert there for him to fight, he takes on the WORLD renowned natural 147 lber. Sharmba... Please!! man....
And Zab that guys done, history, past his finished hes left to the '0' he doesn't exist..... By the way you forget to metion how PBF&ZAB fought fot the shitty! ass IBF title since they didn't get their piece of the pie from Baldomir-Zab it hurt them in the pocket and what better way to make up for the $$$ then have them give the belt to Zab so that he could rake in some money from PBF...

Well apparently Sharmba Mitchell was ready for the #1 P4P fighter.... ::** A well deserved fight for Sharmba...
more deserving than strum when he fought delahoya ;)
and mitchell was the 2nd best southpaw welterweight at the time, when they fought
remember who was the best?
zab judah who was linear welterweight champion of the world and also happened to be mayweathers next fight
You mean when OLDH fought Sturm.... ;)
Cause ODLH was the one moving up in weight...
I must have hit a nerve if I made you resort to coming back at me with a ODLH blow... ;)
Sharmba #2 Welterweight? ??? rated by who? You?..... Now I know your joking, he had only fought once at Welter prior to the PBF fight how can anyone rate him #2 ?

1.) i said that sharmbay was the 2nd best SOUTHPAW ww (i was implying that it may have been a tune up for zab)
2.) the pbf/judah fight was already signed and scheduled at the thomas and mack BEFORE zab fought baldomir (wacko posted an interview with baldo once before where baldo said that it was zabs biggest mistake for signing the mayweather fight before they fought) i knew about ths from other sourses...
3.) the ibf belt was completely insignificant, ill give you that
4.) after floyd got the ibf belt, he fought the real champion and shut him out........... you were probably one of the first people to criticise mayweather for fighting baldo, and then again for shutting him out
5.) hatton fought collazo.......... who is he fighting now that he went back to 140?? mayweather took an easier fight, but you seem to overlook the fact that hes fighting oscar delahoya in his FIRST fight at 154 (hmmmm........ hatton taking on collazo at 147 for his first fight at that weight and instantly moving back down to 140 and fighting some trash or mayweather taking on delahoya for his first fight at 154 AFTER he took over 147, whos got bigger balls/heart?)
6.) mayweather was also moving up in weight when he fought mitchell (who was a much better fighter than sturm, at the time ;))

Those two guys both think they're bigger than the sport itself.

Like how you say an 'aging' DLH so that after Floyd wins you can say , 'well Oscar was old.' ::** Nice try.
By the way, when's Ricky Hatton fighting someone who didn't play an extra in 'House of 1000 Corpses?'

Re: In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???
PBF would run but Cotto would catch PBF early and hurt Floyd causing PBF to run even faster. This is not the same weight drained Cotto of 140.
Run Florest Run!
;D
Weight drained and all, Cotto still put a hurting on Paullete "the Running Man" Malinaggi ;D
What would happen to Paulette if she moves up to fight Cotto? The samething that would happen to PBF if he moved down to fight Cotto ;D

No offence but Oscar is aging,just because he is fighting PBF does not change that first,if Floyd is as great as everyone says he is he should win second and third,how much praise does Hatton get for beating Tszyu? Not much...Tszyu was old,inactive etc...isn't it the same with Oscar? How many ties has Oscar fought in the last 3 years?
