Cotto vs Mayweather who does everyone think is ACTUALLY better?!

i dont necesarily mean who would win this fight becuase everyone knows in boxing one punch can win or lose a fight. I mean after all the hate for PBF i wonder if this means they actaully think Cotto is the better boxer. Im voting for PBF straight up becuase i feel he is more rounded defensively and more accurate. Thoughts??

There's not really any question is there? PBF is recognized by every major industry publication and website as the #1 P4P fighter in the world. Cotto isn't.

PBF is the better boxer.

Oh come on, this is silly. Of course PBF is better. The question is can Cotto beat him. It is not always the same.

P.S. We have yet to see the best of Cotto.

Ahh. I voted Cotto but interpreted the question wrong. Mayweather is much more skilled and the better boxer. That does not always translate to a win though.

My vote went to Cotto by accident, as I do think he can take Mayweather. More skilled fighters lose all the time, you only have to look back to Taylor/Pavlik to see that it can happen.

Mayweather without doubt

Right now mayweather is clearly the best there is nothing can be said of what he does in the ring. None of these current opponets bring anything new or anything that poses a threat to floyd. The only thing that will beat floyd is time and age.

Mayweather and its not even close

yeah i know it seems very obvious. But in the UK especially you hear soooo many people saying things like he doesnt fight he runs, etc etc. And there are some and ino its only a few Cotto fans who slate Mayweather for being overated! The question is aimed at those really, just checking boxing hasnt lost its mind more then anything! :D

MAYWEATHER ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

Dont know why anybody would hate either boxer. Sure as a person Floyd comes across as a dick but both him and Cotto are very good boxers and are what this sport needs.


I love both guys. I think Mayweather is the better boxer but a Cotto fight would be no walk over whatsoever....thats what makes it so mouthwatering :lickish:

This is a very good topic.You do have to look at what Mayweather did to Judah than what Cotto did to Judah.It is clear enough that Cotto does have a great chance at beating Floyd.Better than Hatton did anyway.If Mayweather does do his thing and a take brief break and Cotto keeps fighting.Mayweather would be rusty enough for Cotto to beat him.So if I'm Floyd I have an easy tune-up for the build up of a huge fight with Cotto by next summer.

Floyd is the better fighter but that doesnt mean Cotto could not beat him.

And all you Americans do??? Jeff Lacy is gonna KNFO Calzaghe he's the next best thing bla bla and look what happened Calzaghe smoked his ass. :laugh:

I have to take Mayweather in this comparison. He is quicker, faster, better ring generalship, more accurate, better defensively, better stamina etc. The only edge I would give to Cotto is that he is a harder hitter

Lacy was overrated from the start. You won't find a post of mine saying other wise either. You guys were the ones pushing Ryan Rhodes and crap like that. And your doing the same thing with Carl Fraud

Get Hopkins to sign the papers and we'll see how Calzaghe will shut you guys up again.

What about Steve Cunningham scared to face Enzo Mac.

Vivian Harris came over to the UK and said I'll bring that shiny green belt back to the US and look what happened to him, he got KNFO LMFAO.

Do you want me to go on: Peter Manfredo JR maybe ???.

BTW I have never liked Carl Froch, I feel he's overrated and will get KNFO against Kessler.

mayweather is better.

You can say shit about Mayweather KNFO Hatton etc but I really don't give a fuck.

And the end of the day he's willing to fight the best and face a challenge, he's a warrior and overall Hatton, Calzaghe, Witter etc they all face the best and aren't scared of a challenge which makes me proud win or lose.

Hopkins has already made Calzaghe 2 offers, but he ain't signing. Enzo ain't even got the heart to face his own country man Haye. His heartless ass recently turned down a million dollars. Not to mention the fact that he punked out against Darnell Wilson just to face some bum. Manfredo is garbage. So what? I said that shit from the start. And who gives a fuck about Vivian Harris? His ass is from Guyana. Why would he bring a belt to the US? He's not even a citizen. You just confirm what I said about most UK people not knowing there boxing. Thank you very much

They come in flavours? :P

When Cotto beats PBF's candy @ss, I will come back and laugh at this poll. Just like I have laughed about Mosley, Judah and all the rest on Cotto's list ;)

As far as who is better? Both have very different styles.
I like Cotto's style much more than I like Floyds but Floyd does have a very unique boxing style all of his own. Floyd fights with fear and Cotto fights fearless.
Cotto is now in his last phaze where he is working on defense. When he and Floyd meet, Cotto will be a much more complete fighter. He already has all the tools now it's just a matter of putting them all together in a mega super fight.

With due respect to Mosley, judah and all the others on Cotto's list. This is by far and away the hardest fight in his career deffo if it happens. If cotto wins you will only hear respect from me not how comes he aint fighting bla bla next and bla bla after that. Thats why i cant understand all this hate for PBF he only just knocked out a fighter many people thought he would really struggle if not lose against.

---

Because he got more for the Kessler fight and GBP are offering him a lower amount to show they at least made an offer for the fight but it is S*** terms thats what people forget..

Enzo has been calling Haye out for ages and says he will have it in London but Haye can't make Cruiser anymore he said and he will be happy to have the fight at heavyweight. Do you want me to find a quote???

Vivian Harris : But he lives in NYC so if he would have won he would have brought it back to Brooklyn where he lives and has boxed in the US for 29 of his fights .

Yes UK people really don't know a lot about their boxing VD lmfao ;D

You picked Reid over Froch??? that just says all mate :laugh:

I voted for Mayweather but if I had to become one of them I'd rather be Cotto. As long as I still lived in the states. Otherwise I'd have to pick Mayweather... I just think Cotto could pull more chicks than Mayweather if they were both poor.

I voted for Cotto for no other reason than he's loosing by so much and I think this poll is silly and ridiculous why would any sane person have any reason to say Cotto is better than Floyd? And what will our oppinion have to do with their performance once they are in a ring together? Styles makes fights and a fight between these two would be a classic clash of boxer vs puncher, stalker vs counterpuncher, speed vs power and unstopable force meeting an imovable object and all those other fraces people come up with.

I don't care who is better, I don't care who would win. It is going to be a great fight and that is why I want to see it.

I voted for MAYWEATHER, HE'S THE BETTER STYLIST, BOXER, THINKE AND MOVER.

tHATS NOT TO SAY cOTTO HAS NOT GOT A CHANCE AGAINST HIM THOUGH! mIGUEL HAS A BIT OF sKILL HIMSELF, GREAT POWER, A GOOD CHIN AT 147 AND A MENTALITY WHICH DOES NOT RECOGNISE THE WORDS DEFEAT, LOSS OR SURRENDER.

I don't know about this question. On paper, Floyd is actually better because he is at a level that Cotto aspires to reach. I believe Cotto has the style and intelligence to defeat Floyd, and I am sure Floyd will find a way to beat Cotto, but surely he will have the most difficulty he's had because Cotto isn't as slow and unskilled in coming forward as Hatton, Castillo, and Baldomir are.

if this fight comes off i think cotto would be a more difficult opponent than hatton,but i think mayweather if victorious should retire as the undefeated king .ill take mayweather to win POINTS
