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

[Mars_ax]

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 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.

Mosely stopped throwing because he didn't like what was coming back, it's easy to ask why he stopped throwing but against a tremendous counterpuncher with great accuracy it has to rattle the game plan quite a bit. If Cotto presses than he leaves himself open. Is he willing throw 1 and take one back?

I don't see Floyd as being a big puncher, i'm not saying he doesn't have some power, but I just don't see him being able to hurt the bigger Cotto the way Pacquiao and Margarito did, if Floyd wins it won't be by KO. I don't know why so many believe that Mayweather wins by KO, this ain't an awestruck Ortiz or a washed up Gatti. Cotto is going to be a live Dog in this fight, will Floyd be able to go 12 hard rounds for the first time in his career?

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.

Not mine. Matter of fact, I couldn't ask for a better start to the evening's festivities.

I just hope that Mosley is not on that Golden Boy pay roll and take a fall like Oscar did against BHOP.

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

Or watch in the morning.

Tough call.

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!

[roberto duran legend]

Cant see Floyd knocking Cotto out at all, love cotto, superb fighter
heart of a lion , but Mayweather is different league, Money UD.
