now i know why....

the thing that really impressed me with cotto last night is the way rather than going hell for leather and rolling over gomez as many expected him to he took his time picked his shots and looking amazing in doing so
this alone convinces me he beats floyd , if he landed one of those clean little combos per round hed soon sap pbf's power and slow down those little dancing feet of his

Cotto has been patience in the past thats nothing different, check out his fight against Victoriano Sosa who went 12 rounds with Mayweather. Cotto slowly took him apart as well.

But lets remember here the punches that landed on Gomez a majority of them punches wouldn't land on Mayweather. And lets remember this is Gomez here who is a mediocre fighter at best, but im glad so many people think Cotto will beat Mayweather, so when Mayweather beats Cotto that will make his win look even more impressive.

[hitmanhatton]

ye that goes without saying that mayweather and gomez are a gulf apart in terms of ability

however....

mayweather is not impossible to hit, judah had him down (although it wasnt given as a knock down when it should have been) de la hoya caught him flush at times , and hatton also wobbled him early on and i just feel that cotto would be able to really capitalise in a way that none of those fighters managed to

Judah is much faster than Cotto though, even Judah wobbled Cotto a few times with his extremely quick hands. ODLH never really caught Mayweather flush i don't think anyway. And plus ODLH was throwing in bunches and bunches something Cotto doesn't do too often IMO, Hatton caught Mayweather off balance i don't think Mayweather was wobbled, but all these opponents have something in common they were all outclassed mate

Ohh yeah..... Let PBF stop running from Cotto and let the fight be scheduled.

Cotto by late stoppage for me.

Whoever speculates what would happen in Cotto-Floyd, based on last nights fight needs to rethink what they know about boxing.

Yes but your Mayweather hater plain and simple, plus you haven't even seen a lot of his fights that was proved last time.

I've heard this saying on this board more than once..

"To be the best, you have to FIGHT the best"...

Someone f'n drop Floyd off the number 1 P4P spot... How long is he going to be there? Until he's 80? As long as he fights DLH once a year? Sure no one has beaten him yet.. But while there are genuine contenders, and he completely ignores them to take "Money" fights, then he doesn't deserve to hold the number 1 ranking....

Others may argue a different point, but if a figher genuinally does not want to fight any of his main competition, that is arguably enough for me to drop them down on my P4P list.. I respect other peoples reasons for keeping him their though.. But you don't become a champion, then protect your championess by avoiding all the fighters that might knock you off your pedestal... At this rate, he can't be there forever.

Good thoughts bro......

[HOMETOWN CHAMP]

I for one dont really about mayweather-cotto, we have had tons of great fights already in 08. let Floyd do what he want what matters is the quality of the fight not who is fighting. I mean cotto-margo is going to be a lot more intresting and action packed. We have tons of other good fights in boxing in the other divisions so people should get there fill with those fights

And as for P4P lists, they really dont mean anything its just a list of someones opinion

[El Kabong]

...I don't know, seeing Floyd getting his jaw broken would be very fun to watch

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Call me crazy but i see Cotto fighting Dela Hoya before Floyd.

[Macho]

Call me crazy but i see Cotto fighting Dela Hoya before Floyd.

I agree after Margarito , i think that probably in the end of the Year Cotto will fight with ODLH , if isn't with ODLH , maybe with Joshua Clotey , he is rank #1 in IBF, Margarito heredity the Mandatory fight that Cintron were suppose to make with Clotey , in end of the Year going be interesting for Cotto if he win...........

...all this talk is why floyd doesn't fight either of them right away, by the time he does fight one of these guys it will be so built up, the fight would be riddiculously huge and that's what he's waiting for. Cotto looked awesome this weekend but all this praise from beating gomez is a little over the top, if floyd had beat gomez nobody would care, not to take anything from cotto i would have never predicted that big off and ass whoopin, hell i wouldn't fight his crazy ass but to say floyd is now sitting in a room sucking his thumb in fear...c'mon now. I'd be more scared of fighting margarito consider the level of comp they had this weekend. Big props to cotto and tony, but floyd beats both of these guys, it's always easy to think otherwise till you see our hopes getting bounced of a turnbuckle in the 10th. Cotto is in no way afraid of floyd neither is tony for that matter, but to switch it around and say floyd is scared of either of those two is just as silly.

[JLAQ]

LOL Cotto and Margarito would've turded Floyd something fierce last night.

IMO the old DLH (who wouldnt stand a chance against these hombres) beat Floyd.
