Even if Mayweather fought and beat Cotto

[Chino]

I'm not saying Cotto isnt' a great fighter...

I think he beats
every 147 pounder out there right now, but I don't think he would ever beat Mayweather. Cotto is a great fighter, but his style isn't suited to fighting a guy who moves and has the ability of Mayweather, Cotto is lucky Malignaggi didn't move more, and that Mosley didn't either because when they did Cotto got a lot less done, and Mayweather is vastly superior fighter to either of them when moving backwards, and Judah for that matter. None of them use the amount of movement Mayweather does, none of them have his defensive skills, or ability to change directions quicky(except Judah, but he hardly ever throws his left hand, and he doesn't keep moving).

Mayweather hasn't foughten the top p4p guys he could have, but in terms of who would give him a tough fight I think Oscar and Hatton presented very real problems for MAyweather, Hatton it was his inside fighting, footspeed, constant pressure and I think the fight would have been a little toughter wihtout Cortez, and Oscar presented hand speed, experience, size, power, great chin.

Cotto is an interesting matchup for Mayweather, but in the end Mayweather would stay outside Cotto's distance, block nearly everything Cotto threw and gradually taken over the fight landing stiff right hands and left hooks. I think it would be a UD wiht Mayweahter winning 116-112 ish.

Wow! I think that makes maybe 2 or 3 of us in the whole forum that can't see Cotto winning no matter how much we want that to happen. I can see Mayweather winning by an unquestionable UD, not so sure if he could win by KO/TKO but didn't we all think the same when he faced Hatton?

Mayweather isn't as good as he thinks...sure he has fought some decent competition but he hasn't fought and beat THE BEST and the best is out there for him right now!

Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito


I know for a FACT PBF will be back in boxing by next year if not sooner...he has to come and fight his Marvin Hagler be it Cotto or Margarito, he has to end his career on a note that says "You can't debate who the best is, it's Floyd Mayweather Jr.".....he won't beat Cotto but his ego won't allow for him to be overshaddowed by Cotto.

If Floyd retired after fighting Cotto then that would be different

Cotto isn't better than Dela Hoya. Or at least the evidence wouldn't indicate that.
