Cotto vs. Floyd Jr. & "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Mosley - Saturday night fight thread

[killersheep]

Are they showing the weigh-in anywhere? Usually they do for the big fights.

Could Cotto fight southpaw to give Floyd extra problems as Zab and Corley did?

Weigh-in:

Cotto - 154
Mayweather - 151

Canelo Alvarez - 154
Mosley - 154 1/2 - Shane has 60 minutes to shed the half-pound, that shouldn't be a problem for the old pro.

Cotto looks bigger than Floyd, I really like his attitude, and I don't believe he's at all intimated. Should be a great fight tomorrow night.

I dont think Floyd is wearing shoes in the staredown, Im 99.9% sure he is taller than Cotto

I didn't mean height or reach, just saying, to me Miguel looks physically bigger, that may or may not mean something.

This would be a good night for Floyd to use his jab, he has a great one. Cotto is the ONE fighter he shouldn't get into a left hook contest with at Cotto's weight of 154. If Mayweather hooks with him he could get caught again.

Mayweather has to use his jab in this fight and not let Cotto try to use his weight on him. Mayweather is truly a small man fighting in the bigger weight class, just without the hype. He is going to have to fight a really smart fight this time around and not make some of the mistakes he made against Ortiz but could get away with. Mayweather leads with left hooks this fight he may get caught, tomorrow must be the night of the jab for him.

Then again no one should underestimate Cotto's jab too.

I really thought Mosley vs Mayweather was going to be competitive, especially after Shane rocked Floyd in the 1st round, but then for some strange reason Mosley just quit fighting. I never could figure it out, it's like Mosley thought, WTF am I doing, i'm not supposed to win this.

Point is, if Cotto can put some hurt on Floyd right from the get go, landing powerful left hooks to Floyd's head and body, I believe unlike Margarito who had a granite chin, it could be a game changer. The trick is hitting Floyd, which is not an easy thing.

Floyd says: "I want to take it to Cotto" and find out what he's got, hopefully this will be a big mistake for him. Cotto has been in some fucking wars and for the most part done well, I question whether Mayweather could survive a "war" with Cotto and/or if his chin would hold up for 12 rounds.

Picking Floyd to win easy is a no brainer but for some reason I see mosley being a dick ko'ing Canelo and ruining a bunch of peoples night.

Do u stay up to 4am to watch it and risk falling asleep (like I normally do)

Or watch in the morning.

Tough call.

[Onix]

Good morning fight fans...its only a matter of time now. &lt;br /&gt;<br />
&lt;br /&gt;<br />
Canelo wins by split decision and Mayweather knocks out Cotto in the 9th or 10th round much to the dismay of some super fans in here.&lt;br /&gt;<br />
&lt;br /&gt;<br />
Can't wait!

[JT Rock]

Im advocating KO from an accumulation. Floyd has been moving forward and not back for a while. I just see Cotto face getting cut and same with his mouth. And I think the punches Floyd does land will have their effect late. I can see the red or the corner pulling him out especially if there is 0 chance of him winning a decision

[JT Rock]

Geez there is more buzz in a doorbell than here for such a big fight!!!

[JT Rock]

As long as Cotto dosent headbutt him deliberately he shouldn't get the 2 piece lol!

Cotto has a lot of variations in his game which should keep Mayweather busy. Cotto has also been more active the last 5 years, Floyd's inactivity and ring/rust may catch up to him. Contrary to popular belief, Floyd is not invincible, fuck the experts, i'm going with Cotto to win this.
