Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

Because Cotto isn't a durable fighter and has gone in survival mode before in the past

If Pacquiao can do this, what do you think mayweather is gonna do? He's gonna slice up cotto's non-existant defense.

If Pacquiao was punching with the same power as Mayweather Cotto would've been in the fight for the full 12 rounds, difference is Pacquiao hurt Cotto with his power fairly early on.

Mayweather couldn't even hurt Ortiz or Mosley, how's he going to hurt Cotto at 154? You'll notice Pac's footwork is also nippy in that vid, FMJ doesn't have that kind of mobility in his legs any more.

Mayweather may well outpoint Cotto but he isn't knocking him out.

If you break once, you're gonna break again.

Floyd knows this, and he's going for the KO

because he knows its there.

Defensive Reflexes!

That is Cotto problem and why he will get stopped. I dont think it will be from 1 shot but cotto defensive reflexes are too slow. Thats why slow punching marg was able to hit him .Thats why manny was able to hurt him while he hasnt buzzed anyone else like that at welter before or since. Add slow defensive reflexes to the fact that mentally hes not the same guy he used to be (getting stopped 2x changes your mental approach to fighting) and i see him getting stopped.

He's not knocking Cotto out. Cotto will box and move and sometimes stand and trade. Floyd will be Floyd, picking shots and landing the cleaner stuff through most of the rounds. Probably wins around 8 or 9 rounds. Should be a fun fight!

Anyway, I don't bet e-points much but I'll happily bet with anyone who's actually willing to put points on Mayweather KO-ing Cotto. I don't think I'll have many takers lol.

all your points that floyd stops cotto

confirm it

[GrandpaBernard]

pacquiao doesn't know how to cut off a ring and spent too much time being forced to chase Cotto around. Floyd won't have this problem and will able to get in his shots in earlier during the fight.

So far 75% of the articles are predicting an absolute blow-out of Miguel Cotto when he steps in vs Floyd on 5/5. Let me give my thought and tell me if agree or disagree.
1-Cotto's only 2 losses (1 obvi was b.s) were against fighters who apply constant pressure for 12 rds.
2- Cotto is undefeated against fighters when hes the one stalking and applying pressure.
3- When he has someone on the ropes (which floyd loves to do), thats when he is most dangerous.
4- The timing of his jab has been able to neutralize fighters who had better speed than him.
5- He's a much smarter fighter now than he was back in 2008, and he picks his spots when to really open up.
6- He moves alot more on his toes in/out than he used to.

Now having said those 6 facts, where does everyone see Floyd KO'ing Miguel in this fight? Yes PBF has shown a few spots in his last few fights that he is willing to move foward and box but ultimatley floyd is a counter punching defensive mastermind. Im not saying that Miguel will or wont win, we all know Floyd seems to frustrate fighters and wins but how does everyone think that he will KO Miguel when he is not a power puncher, doesnt pressure constantly, and hasnt knocked out but 3 people in the last 8 fights dating back to 2005 (and one of which was against Ortiz who decided to keep his arms down and kiss him during the fight).

You have to factor in that Floyd WANTS to KO Cotto. He knows how anything other than a KO will come across to the general boxing public due to Pac's performance.

We're more involved boxing fans so we know that such comparisons aren't of much use ( due to styles, and to a lesser extent weight) but for the general boxing public Floyd won't want a "boring" 12 round pop-and-move shutout to be compared to Pac flooring him twice and earning a stoppage.

Floyd by late KO.

It won't be a one or two punch KNOCK OUT, ref counts to ten the fight is over. No, it will be a stoppage, TKO, accumulation of clean, flush left hooks and right hands.

this.
