Yes that was boring but still looking forward to this fight.
yea can't wait for this 1. Think floyds going to be very aggressive and attack in this fight.
If Floyd does that he will be punished and think he will go back to slick counter punching and boxing. ;)Quote:

It reminds me of Hokpins vs De La Hoya. B hop was so polite during the press conference and later on he said he just did not want an angry golden boy in the ring, it could be that or the fact he's going to jail in summer or, or he respects cotto, or..well what I guess im trying to say is that I'm purely guessing here :P
Hard to be a jack@$$ to someone who second language is English, ... is giving you an opportunity for a title as you move up and should be unranked... and has in the eyes of most already had everything taken from him with a pair of plaster wraps. Can't up stage that with dumb nicknames, bragging and intimidation tactics (like choking) . Especially considering how pac and floyd both been through everyone at 147 already and the pickings are slim.
I feel this fight is going to be way better then people are saying. I can't wait, maybe Cotto won't win but I feel he can put a scare into mayweather that no one has.
I think Floyd isn't talking so much trash is because Cotto is a household name. The casual fan will buy this fight off name alone. Floyd knows when he has to talk up a big fight.
I wish Cotto would knock off PBF and make PBF kiss the canvass........
But it aint happening....
Only Pac can do that to PBF as of the moment and I can understand why PBF's not fighting the Pacman.:cool::cool:
I will be watching this fight though and see if my wish is granted. Cotto should go for the kill. If he hesitates, he loses this fight. He should fight without any respect to the "coward of all time".:-X:-X:-X
I think your hopes for Cotto might be too high. I cant see him troubling Mayweather at all. Mayweather has the speed, the power, a better technique by far and better stamina. What do you think Cotto brings to the table that will bother Floyd.Quote:

Plus the fact that Floyd hasn't really been moving around so much in his last fights so if he's gonna go toe to toe with Cotto, it won't be so easy. I feel he's actually gonna come in there and try to box mayweather and throw good flurries when the opportunities are there. That would be the smarter move I mean people always try to go all out and fail so im sure they won't try that. Plus he's young and seems more confident then ever.Quote:

The other advantage is that it is at light middle, where Floyd has only fought once at. Other than that the speed, boxing skills and less damage are all with Floyd and he should win but most of us are hoping for a Cotto scare.
Well I hope you guys are right because there is nothing I would like more than to see Floyd lose or even struggle but I just cant see Cotto posing the slightest thret. Lets hope im wrong on the night.Quote:

Well I just watched the full episode. It was ok. But of course Floyd had to be Floyd, and show that he still is a dick. He just had to throw it out there that he makes huge bets, and at one point seemed more concerned about how the game he was betting on was doing, than actually doing the show. :shakehead:
Here's a little leaked footage from Cotto's camp from 24/7.

Training camp looks to be going good.Quote:

Cotto should not have sacrificed his weight for the pac fight but thats in the past. He can still cause damage in the first six rounds and i wish him all the best just as long as it ends with money winning.
I think it'll be a great fight.
Floyd by KO!!!
Did they ever find out the size gloves they'll be using?
Yeah Floyd pissed me off in the full episode..I dont give a shit how many bets you've made. He looked more interested in updates of the game than the fight. Disrespectful to Miguel. I know he thinks he's playing up to the character but we wanna hear about the fight.
Still think this is gonna be an awesome fight and a much tougher fight than Bradley will be. Cotto much more credible and proven especially with the extra weight.
Most people here want Cotto to win, I hope he can do it, even just to wipe that smug smile off Floyd's face would make me happy.
Just watched it now. Floyd seems to be toned down he was betting on his game, but he really wasn't as brash as he was before, he was like a business man instead of the rowdy gangster wanna be type and wouldn't let Max Kellerman refer to Cotto as just an opponent. I did like that though.
It was nice seeing him and Cotto being civil with each other. I think people as we all need to realize is Mayweather isn't goint to be around much longer. Pacquiao either and when they are both gone there's gonna be a void in boxing.
So I'll appreciate all these fights till the final one. Moving up to 154 to fight Cotto is a risk as he'll be very comfortable, and Floyd not so much, but it is a risky fight and one that should be looked at. But watching ESPN saying Cotto is a shot fighter or a bum when he is a champion in order to discredit the fight is very disrespectful to him as a person and as a fighter. So I hope the majority of us boxing fans will appreciate this fight.
Along with Bert Sugar's death, these fights, are the end of an era. Cotto, Mayweather, Pacquiao etc have all given us the last 10-15 years of fights and Bert has given us countless, it's a shame to think that their careers are maybe 1 or 2 years away from being over. It truly is the end of an era, and history at this moment. The entire landscape of boxing as we know it and have known it is about to change. It's sad to think about, but worth it if they are all appreciated.
Good post.
Lmfao. I hope Cotto shatters Floyd's ribs!
Watched it, bored me, and Floyd seemed more concerned about his 100 K bet.
saw the promotion on box nation, they went to Rico, New York Apollo and LA china town, looks good and the closer the fight is the more I fear for Cotto. :(
