Its Mayweather v Cotto on May 5th

[Rantcatrat]

I think it'll be an interesting fight to watch for the boxing fan. Its about as interesting a fight as you can get where the winner is obvious (or at least very very likely).

What tactics will each fighter employ?

Is there anyone out there who gives Cotto a shot?

It's the second best fight out there for Floyd. Sergio was the best. Still, it's not a bad fight at all. Sure, it should have happened three years ago, but better late than never. Is the fight at 154? I imagine this will lead into a Sergio Martinez v. Floyd Mayweather fight next?

I don't give Cotto a shot. I like Floyd in the late rounds (10-12) stoppage by cuts or Floyd UD. Cotto got what he wanted though, which was another big $ fight. He's earned it. He'll face Canelo after Mayweather beats him and he'll retire a very wealthy man.

This is great for boxing and a huge fight between 2 fighters i love to watch. Cotto will have a serious go early but Floyd will tie him in Knots by midway, suss him out and tear his face to shreds .. Cotto's hard as nails so i see Floyd winning late on by stoppage or by a massive points win.

Really looking forward to this one.

Just don't see any way or tactic that make Cotto win this.

WAR COTTO!!! Come on Miguel, take the 0!!!!

Sure Mayweather probably wins this by a wide points margin, but STYLES make fights. Miguel Cotto is a much more complete fighter than what Floyd has faced since De la Hoya. Mosley had power and handspeed, no defense. Zab had no discipline, Ortiz couldn't box, JMM had no power. Miguel Cotto can box, he has power, good timing, decent defense, a solid chin, a warrior's heart, and he can switch up from orthodox to southpaw.

To me, this is a very dangerous fight for Floyd. Cotto is sneaky with his power and sneaky with his speed. He doesn't look quick, but he can catch you coming in and put a hurting on you. Miguel also doesn't care where the hell he hits you he just wants to do damage...he stopped Gianaluca Branco with a left hook to the shoulder!!!

If Cotto prepares to go 12, uses the jab effectively AND remembers to attack the body.....well we might just have ourselves a fight fellas!!!!

[THE THIRD MAN]

It's a fight i have always wanted to see, i am not sure that a war torn Miguel Cotto can actually hit Floyd enough to win. I suspect that Floyd will find Cotto rather pedestrian and win a wide UD, Cotto has a punchers chance, but first he has to find the target!

First off Lyle I love the new sig.

Secondly, its pretty late for this fight to be finally coming off. Would have been better at 140 I think. Cotto is a little long in the tooth now.

But, better late than pregnant.

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!!!

This is about 3 years too late. Still, it's probably the 2nd or 3rd best fight for PBF.

[Pavlik]

My only worry is Miguel's onion skin it'll definitely tear otherwise I think Miguel can take Floyd's best shots. I just hope and pray the Cotto left hook to the body resurfaces on this fight

[NUCLEAR BULL]

cotto before the 1st margarito fight would beat his head in, but now....this will be a interesting fight if cotto can get to mayweathers body, they goto get miguel back to working the body, he was one of the best body wreckers in the sport but thats almost ompleat gone from his game now.....goto work the body miguel its something that others havent donr to that prat......mayweather is fav but i hope cotto can pull one last great effort out of the hat, this will most prob be the last high profile fight of a great warriors carreer

GO COTTO

[jon09]

Cotto will have to get down and dirty to stand a chance in this fight. Turn it into a brawl and don't be predictable because he could get a beating like Gatti got if he does.

[johnsebastianmiran]

Unfortunately being a Cotto fan and hoping he knocks out Floyd, speed is what Cotto needs and speed is what Floyd has. Floyd will probably make this a cat-mouse game unless Angel Cotto really puts the pedal to the medal and mauls Floyd in a corner all night but the last time I saw Floyd he reminded everyone he trains hard and is a great ring technician. He is no fool and he is just as dangerous in that ring as the perfect predator in the jungle, a cat.

Nice matchup... no complaints from me on this one

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?
