- Miguel Cotto has said, "I'm not scared of anybody" (That includes Floyd)
- Miguel Cotto has said, "When Floyd has the courage to fight me, I will fight him"
- Miguel Cotto has said, "I don't need Floyd Mayweather"
Those who keep saying: "Miguel Cotto has a glass chin"
- He hasn't been stunned like he was against Corley or Torres since moving up in weight. I like how Cotto being even minorly stunned suddenly taints all his skills, abilities and accomplishments. The Floyd nut huggers reach for anything and try to blow it up to be the biggest flaw in the universe. What fighter has NEVER been stunned? Don't say Floyd because shows different.
Those who are now saying: "Cotto fights off his back foot and runs just as much as Floyd"
- Cotto may fight off his back foot but he will actually stand in the center of the ring and trade unlike certain fighters we know who spend the majority of the rounds running like it was a competition to see who could fun further in a confined space. Who has Cotto ever backed away from consistently due to being outmatched or fear of being hit? NOBODY. Cotto is a brawler a smart one at that which is why the "running" he did against Mosley was strategic being that he knew he couldn't close the show as opposed to a full 12 round marathon of back pedaling by Floyd. Cotto's "back pedaling" can be defended due to his lack of fear when it comes to trading with whoever - you can't say much for Mr. Mayweather.
Those who say "Cotto is way too slow to deal with Mayweathers hand speed"
- Have you watched any of Miguel Cottos last five fights? With each one he adds a touch of speed and gets a little more loose and less zombie like in his approach when he comes into trade. I'll admit Cotto used to lumber in one foot in front of the other nearly and would try to just smash away at the body putting himself at risk to his clock cleaned but quoth the raven never more I doubt you'll ever see that again. Did you see the way he was putting combinations together and dancing around Alfonso Gomez? Yes it was against Alfonso Gomez which is meaningless but I'm pretty sure if you put that same Cotto from that night in the ring with just about anyone - Floyd included - Cotto would walk away with a victory by UD or KO.
Those of you comparing Cotto to Hatton:
- Hatton is 5'6" with a 65" reach.
- Cotto is 5'8" with a 67" reach.
- Floyd is 5'8" with a 72" reach.
- How some of you honestly say that Cotto would fair just as bad or worse than Hatton did in the ring with Mayweather amazes me. Cotto is much stronger and much faster than Hatton and there two styles are completely different. You would never catch Cotto jumping in trying to land hooks with his hands down and eating a ring post face first. Cotto is much more methodical and smart in his approach. I know he looks like a cave man and the mans English isn't great but that doesn't make him any less intelligent. His ring generalship and ability to force the fight how he wants it along with Mayweathers ability to do the same would make for an explosive match up.
That's all I have to say for now...
Back to work...

And you cant argue with that.

Funny I've never seen you say that Horus is trying to pass of his extremely biased and supremely ridiculous opinions off as fact. You another one of Americas black youth who is so caught up in Mayweathers image that you think you're him too? LMFAO. That's the feeling I get from the majority of boxing fans as of recent. By fans you guys know who I'm talking about - the guys who started watching boxing and only heard of Floyd after he aired out Gatti. Mother****ers defend him to no end as if his money was there money and his cars were there cars. It's sad. I've admitted Cotto's flaws before. I've said he could lose. I never state, "Cotto would mangle Floyd and make him cry for his mom and that's a FOR CERTAIN FACT" like the Floyd fans try to do. How you can speak such nonsense and try to discredit everything Cotto has done in a sentence? I know it's your opinion but a ridiculous one at that when its a known fact a fight can guy either way - unless your Floyd I guess though as of recent. You know with his non hand picking of ***** ass opponents. Get the **** out of here.
P.S. Your sneakers are ****ing ugly.
