Its Mayweather v Cotto on May 5th

[Saddo]

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

I fall for it everytime too.

I know Floyd will win, but I start to think, maybe, just maybe he can do this or that and win.

We watch the fight and realise they are a class above.

Well thanks for thinking about me before saying my guy has no chance.

WAR Cotto! That's first and foremost.

Off the top, I like this one. Yeh it could-should have happened a while back but what are ya gonna do. As long as all of the weight clause jibber jabber is kept in the trash can and both come in at honest weight it's a clean go. I think Cotto has a shot but he may have to revert a little and not go into his over thinking mode. He's not outboxing Floyd, not yesterday, not today and not tomorrow. He's going to have to think of the head as purely secondary and work off that improved jab greatly from jump off. I don't worry as much about his stamina late as I do him cutting up badly early.

Not looking forward to yet another I hate my daddy and the piss and moan fest on 24-7 though. The contrast in class and difference in composure between these two will be big.

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.

Alot of people like cotto as well. Hes a good guy.
Is cotto going to stick with the same trainer this time round or is he going elsewhere?

Agree with shza.

Cotto HAS improved his stamina, he didn't seem to tire at all in his last 3 fights, he slowed down in the mid rounds only to come on strong again from the 9th till the final bell

[El Kabong]

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.
