In all Seriousness who thinks Cotto would give Floyd the scare of his life???

[El Gamo]

I don't think Cotto would be that big of a problem for PBF... he isn't quick enough.

Agreed 100%. Cotto is wide open to be countered when he goes to the body & Floyd's known for lying on the ropes, taking it to the body, & then hammering out quick short counter hooks up stairs.

Cotto does not need to take this fight if the option arrizes again.

And as for Brusseles,Wack you are correct that Cotto sparred with him but as we all know sparring is one thing and an actual fight something else first and second,like I said,Cotto will be an improved fighter at 147.

I know...but you also know that some of the best things are found out during sparring matches. Cotto was there & saw how easily Floyd handled him. If Cotto is anything...he's a student of the game...Floyd is three times his superior IWO.

I aint saying Floyd is unbeatable...but it's going to take someone much bigger & equally as fast to handle him.

You make valid points but I'll wait and see what happens with Cotto,at the moment though,he looks a dangerous propostion for anyone. And you can nullify speed with bodywork,a good jab and good handspeed,ingredients Cotto possesses. I don't think Cotto would win just yet but he would be trouble.

I agree with you there...about the body work shutting down speed...I just don't see him being able to catch Floyd with anything meaningful other that body shots. Cotto is one of the most devastating body workers in the game...but you have to really work to get to Floyd's ribs & when you do...his elbows often come down at just the right moment.

I don't know...maybe I'm cutting Cotto short...but I've followed Cotto ever since he went pro. I love the guy...he get's a lot of flack & disdain from some extremely critical & doubtful fans...I just think that it's terribley unfounded. I'd hate to come across as one of those people.

True,Floyd is awfully quick but I tell you something,if you're fast enough,there are a few times you can catch Floyd. When he jabs to body,he is open to a counter(right hand over the jab),when he rolls his shoulder,Jesus Chavez and De Marcus Corley landed looping right hands and because of the position Floyd is with his shoulder,it stunned him because he didn't see the punch coming and JLC worked head and body well in their first fight,confusing Floyd. I've never even seen anyone implement a good jab v Floyd,again,something which Cotto can do. I honestly think Floyd is one of the most talented fighters I have ever seen but I don't think he is unbeatable.
