Cotto"s only HOPE to wın ıs by KO FAST

[Abelardus]

Every person that's on Floyd's nuts right now doesn't seem to realize his cherry picking ways. Ortiz, Marquez, and Mosley weren't the best fighters in the world when Mayweather fought them. Cotto is Floyd's best competition since Hatton, at the very least.

Give me those three opponents over a way past it margarito and mayorga and over a b level yuri foreman...so floyd will be far above the level of fighters cotto has fought recently, don't think the reverse is true.

A good fight with Pac > A win against any guy Floyd's beaten since Hatton.

I also wasn't comparing the level of competition between Floyd and Cotto. I was saying that Floyd hasn't been fighting top level opponents, and Cotto IS a top level opponent.

Cotto beating Margarito was about nothing else other than exorcising the demons. What that would have done for Cotto mentally is priceless.

Mayweather has faced good guys lately. Marquez is an absolute warrior but he was too small, his heart and skills were not going to make up that disadvantage. Mosley is a name, but was there to last the distance. Ortiz was a good live opponent but he fucked things for himself before the fight really got started.

Cotto's fights have been confidence builders, Mayweathers have been money makers.

It's hard to predict this fight really as we don't know if Cotto has much left. Also Mayweather fights so infrequently and he is at an age where the activity can creep up on him.

We can't deny that on paper it is a very good fight.

Absolutely spot on, mate.

Shane had beaten marg in his fight prior to floyd, ortiz beat berto I don't see how they weren't top level Marquez is top level as well but was to small...I'm not sure this version of cotto is better than the shane or ortiz floyd fought. I guess I just have far less faith in cotto than most on here it seems

A margarito that had just been caught cheating who was probably thinking about what's going to happen to him and didn't even care if he won or lost. That margarito? ofcourse Mosley wooped him. If he would've been plastered up it would've probably been retirement for Mosley. Cotto beat a young hungry Mosley and almost went the distance with a plastered margarito.

We're talking about the last few opponents not what they did five or ten fights ago. The fact of the matter is when floyd fought shane he came of a huge win, same goes for ortiz to not call em top level isn't fair. The shane floyd fought is better than any of cottos last few opponents, so is ortiz..I usually don't do these but ill sig bet on this one if anyone wants. Also as I said before I don't mind cotto and don't like floyd and do think marg was plastered up and that's a big reason why I v iew cotto as a damged fighter.

Your right Ortiz was a better fighter then any of Cotto's opponents. Mosley has the better name but I do believe he was way passed his prime when he fought mayweather coming off a win or not he was old so I believe he was cherry picked as for Ortiz that would've been a good fight had it not been for the head bitt.

Ortiz is younger and fresher, but Cotto would hammer the crap out of that kid. Cotto is a better boxer, has more power, better defense, a bigger heart, and a sharper mind. Ortiz is a swarmer, a wreckless, nasty fighter....Cotto COULD fight that way and STILL whip Ortiz's ass, but Cotto is a boxer and a damn good one.

Cotto fought Pacquiao....don't see a name bigger or better than that on Floyd's resume AND Cotto did that weight drained and without a trainer in his corner and he still lasted 11/12 rounds....whether or not that was smart is beyond the point. The deal is Cotto is tough, he's a warrior, and it's been quite a long time since Floyd will have fought such a dedicated fighter that can carry the weight well and isn't completely shot.

Right now I would prefer to be seeing Cotto / JMM.

Bullshit he could, Lyle. Five years ago sure, but he can't fight anyone that way anymore and it's precisely why Floyd will toy with him.

Are you fucking kidding me Cotto would massacre Victor Ortiz!!! If they fight at any point in time I've got a sig bet all over that one!!! Victor Ortiz....shiiiiit you musta' lost your damn mind! Cotto would also handle Berto easily.

I didn't say Cotto couldn't beat Victor, at least realize what part of your post I was responding to. He would most likely be able to outbox him, but IF he decided to swarm and go toe to toe with him(which would be very stupid and something he hasn't done for several years) I feel Ortiz would probably stop him. You seem to think Cotto is still near peak form and durable, I wholeheartedly disagree here that's all. I think he's actually the least dangerous opponent Floyd will have faced since Marquez, who Cotto would be much better off fighting incidently.
