Mayweather Vs Cotto Predictions

[Mars_ax]

Im sure alot of people are excited for this fight like I am. I know everyone says Mayweather will win and chances are he will, but I'm one that believes Cotto still has a shot. So he shouldn't be counted completely out. Either way I want to see what you guys think.

The thing is with Mayweather is his defense, he can make a great fighter, (think JMM) look like an amateur. I'd love to see Miguel win, but it would have to be considered a big upset, I still like Cotto's chances.

[:::PSL:::]

l'm picking Floyd by decision. But l wouldn't be shocked if Cotto wins.

DLH was really close of beating Floyd with jabs, and Miguel has better jab.

Also, Miguel must not back pedal. Judges hate that.

l'm a Pac fan. And l think this is gonna more competitive fight.

Cotto's chances of victory are slim to none. He'll get punked and schooled just like Henry Bruseles but to a lesser extent. Floyd is going to disect him round by round and get em outa there late..

Cotto beat a handicap in Margo but let's not get too excited cuz him VS Floyd aint really a fight. haha

So says a bitter Margo fan... LOL. Surprised you didn't predict a 1st round KO.

I think Floyd's rightfully favored in this fight. But unlike bitter Margo fans and Cotto haters, I feel it'll be a competitive, entertaining fight. Cotto has to fight the fight of his life, no doubt about it. But "punked and schooled"? And comparing Cotto to Henry Bruseles? What a load of shit. Oh well, expected nothing else. Time for the other groupies to chime in.

You dont have to be a Margarito fan to know that he was handicapped. If he wasnt Cotto wouldnt have faught him again. He did wait for Margarito's career to be completely destroyed and for him to look completely pathetic in his fights to fight im again. And Cotto will be punked and schooled against Mayweather. He wont be able to make it into a fight and he doesnt have the speed or the stamina to keep up with Mayweather.

You're not a groupie, so I'll treat your opinion differently. To your point about Margarito... Cotto didn't even want to fight him after he found out that he had tried to cheat against Mosley and had very likely cheated against him (once a cheater always a cheater). A natural reaction, don't you think? Eventually, he changed his mind. I'm sure he wanted to get that thorn off his side once and for all. So while you declare that Cotto's masterplan was to wait until Margarito was damaged goods to fight him again, I think you're going out on a thin limb there.

As for Cotto being "punked and schooled" (the "in" phrase for Floyd groupies and/or Cotto haters, I guess), who knows? Anything is possible in boxing. Cotto may not match up well with Mayweather. Lots of fighters haven't. Cotto doesn't need to prove anything else in his illustrious career. This would just be a feather in his cap. I will tell you, however, that Cotto showed remarkable adaptability in going back to his old boxing and moving style against Margafucko. He jabbed, he clinched at key moments, he pushed Margafucko back instead of letting it be done to him, and.... he chose his moments to engage in toe-to-toe exchanges with the cheater. All in all, a masterful performance. You may not think much of it, but your opinion is apparently not shared by those who put together the Cotto-PBF match. If not for Cotto's showing, they would've found some other opponent for Floyd.

I'm not going to sit here and predict a Cotto win. But I am going to say that most likely it will be a competitive, entertaining fight. Something Floyd against other opponents hasn't always given us fans. And IMHO, yes.... Cotto has a chance to pull off the upset.

That's what I was explaining to my friend on PAC vs Marquez 3 that just cuz he looked bad vs mayweather doesn't mean hes gonna look bad vs pacquiao. I explained to him how if you have 2 great defensive fighters but one is bigger then the other the bigger one will always win easily because the little guy will have to go offensive and move out of his specialty the big guy just has counter and get out of the way which ofcourse is his specialty. There's other examples to but I'll just stick to that basic one I like to think of it as some one fighting an up hill battle too

Cotto looks old in a Mayweather WIDE UD.

[Abelardus]

This is the fight of the year for me. I know Floyd will win this 8 rounds 4 or even 9-3 but if Cotto can use his experience, dictate the tempo of the fight with his new found composure, I think he could possibly win another few more rounds at this weight, which makes it a pretty close and very interesting fight.

I believe the same if it goes to cards I got it 8-4 but I wouldn't be surprised if it got scored 7-5 or 9-3 I just like this fight very much I believe it'll be great and entertaining and fight of the year.

A few more rounds from Cotto, with the low blows to annoy Floyd and it could swing in Cotto's favour.

Hey, that's not a bad idea Master. Just enough to annoy, but not get into any trouble.

[THE THIRD MAN]

Cotto will give a good account of himself, but it's Mayweather's defensive skills that will win him the fight. I just don't see Cotto hitting him enough to take a decision. Mayweather will land plenty and win a wide UD. Cotto will make him work it for it though and Maywether will need all of those defensive skills, i see neither fighter winning by KO. Mayweather by UD 117-111 with Cotto winning a few early rounds. Mayweather is a master of working out his opponent, he comes to the ring with a plan B, he will simply outbox Miguel Cotto.

l'm picking Floyd by decision. But l wouldn't be shocked if Cotto wins.

DLH was really close of beating Floyd with jabs, and Miguel has better jab.

I thought the DLH fight was a blowout. 9-3. The judges were delusional (as were the fans who went crazy every time Oscar threw an ugly 4-punch combo at the air).

I'm not an Oscar fan but I am a Cotto fan, so I wish it were true. But it's not.

Glad you changed your mind.

Lol!

From Cotto via SD, to Floyd SD/UD. Don't be surprised if l change my mind again. That's how close the fight is going to be imo.

1 thang fosho though. l aint sig betting on this fight. Uh-uh, no sir.

[Pavlik]

Cotto will get stopped on cuts, but I dont see him getting dropped nor dazed in the entire fight. Mayweather tko round 6.

[Violent Demise]

The fight ends like Cotto's other losses. Him quitting at the end.
