Its Mayweather v Cotto on May 5th

[Violent Demise]

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!!!!

He did. But that was what 6 years ago? That Cotto doesn't exist any more

He still has that power and he boxes more now, he doesn't go all wild anymore, though he does not attack the body as much.

This time though Cotto's with a top notch coach in Perdo Diaz. Mayweather should have the edge but I don't think itll be a walk in the park, especially because Mayweather doesnt have the power to really bother Cotto.

And that's gonna be a problem for Cotto. Two things a fighter has to do just to be competitive against Mayweather is work behind an effective jab and try to at least maintain some sort of body attack on him. Cotto has no chance if he strictly head hunts

Cotto's set in his ways. Cotto does what Cotto wants in the ring

[Diane]

Hell yes!! Good for Miguel. He deserves a big fight like this.

Do I think he can win, well duh, of course I do. I wouldn't be a fan if I didn't believe. I honestly think if he comes in with the right game plan, and executes it, he can win. My biggest worry would be his stamina in the late rounds. And if he loses, no shame in that, he would be losing to one of the best out there right now. Then his only two legitimate losses would be to the #1 and #2 guys in the world.

Miguel should wear trunks and a robe that look like prison stripes.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......... that's 3 steps back.

[TitoFan]

Of course I'm a massive Cotto fan, and will be rooting for him to pull off the upset. "Rooting" might even be slightly understated. I'll probably be yelling my head off, much like everybody else I'll be watching the fight with.

And like Diane, I too feel Cotto can pull it off, with the right game plan. It helps that he got this new Cuban trainer. The guy did wonders with Cotto in preparation for the Margacheato rematch. He got Cotto back into his boxing ways, and put some speed and reflexes back into his game.

Having said all that... I also think Cotto would've matched up better with Pacquaio in a rematch of their first fight. In fact... I think Cotto would've likely pulled off the upset had he and Pacquaio fought again, now that Joe Santiago is no longer Cotto's trainer. But it's not Pacquaio Cotto is facing now... it's Mayweather. Cotto will have to have the perfect game plan, and execute it to a "T". But he's a warrior, and as someone very well put it.... he always gives us a good fight. So I'm excited and looking forward to it.

And good for Cotto. He does deserve the mega-fight after all these years.

[Violent Demise]

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.

Thing is Cotto never really handled Judah's speed. Cotto punished and broke down Judah cuz is Judah. After 4 rounds he'll stop doing what's working for him. But whenever he decided to actually let his hands go he had success and would get the better of exchanges

I could of just humored you and told you what you wanted to hear. But not wanting to give you false hope about Cotto non-existence chance I decided to be completely honest with you.


That should be like a 5 step jump

he can't do any worse than Marquez did, or than Margarito would

[Mars_ax]

If this fight actually happens on May 5th, I like Cotto's chances at 154, i'm really surprised Mayweather would agree to this fight, but I guess he's legally obligated, so it should happen.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't at a catch-weight.

According to Floyd, the fight will happen at the weight Cotto is most comfortable at, if true that would be at 154, no catch-weight.

Cotto fights often, and is used to being in "wars", but Floyd isn't, this could get interesting if Miguel can penetrate Mayweather's defense and land some significant shots. Floyd just might have bitten off more then he could chew.

Mayweather could have stopped Marquez at any point from the 3rd on, he didn't simply out of choice rather than Marquez' ability to survive...

[Master]

I really want this fight to be on Box Nation as the Cotto v Margarito fight was, really could not care less about Pacquiau v Bradley fight, would not stay up for that fight as it does not excite me at all. It will be a Clottey type shut out.
