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

[junior gong]

He knows this is his most serious test since coming back, so its natural he is a little apprehensive. I think the guy is a tool, but he is a great fighter and this pressure will more than likely bring the best out in him. He knows he is in a fight here.

I must have missed when Cotto fought P-Will, Kostya, Martinez, Hatton etc etc...

@ Hatton..

Put it this way, when Cotto, Mayweather, Williams, Margarito, Quintana, Mosley and all those guys were at their best at 147, Hatton was the weakest link.

I'm not sure if you were saying Cotto avoided fighting Hatton or what, but given the guys he's faced, Hatton wasn't avoided.

Fraud is scared of Cotto. At one point I believe he was trembling and was so scared that he had to adjust his chair a few times.

True. I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd would cancel and end up ducking Cotto at 154 like Manny did.

Last night he wasn't checking his basketball
bet, he was texting 50 cent
that he was nervous...

[littlemac]

Floyd was flat out scared during face off and it was obvious to see. The fact that he cared more about the score of some basketball game instead of a guy who is looking to break his face and ribs in tells you all you need to know.

You think on May 5th floyd can call time out to the ref and run over to ellerbe to check his scores on a ipad? GTFOH with that bull****

Floyd was trying everything in the book to avoid thinking about the beatdown Cotto is gonna put on that ass

Am sure Manny knows first thing about being scared since Manny ran from Cotto at 154 lol.....

Floyd fighting a full hydrated Cotto that Manny ducked!!!! LOL....

just like Floyd was terrified when Mosley confronted him in the JMM post fight? People always say this about Floyd. IDK what people are seeing. You can tell the difference between when someone is scared or when they are just trying to act like you are irrelevant. He did the exact same thing to Ortiz. He wasnt fidgity.

It was the same as the Ortiz faceoff when he was looking all around when Ortiz was talking. Then Max would ask him about what Ortiz said and Floyd was like "oh, I wasnt paying attention". Then the next time Ortiz talked he started asking Max about his shoes.

It was the same thing he was trying to do this time. Why cant people see that. He doesnt hate Cotto enough to flat out diss him and he's older now so he's not going to go the route he did with Oscar anyways. This is his new style, atleast until he fights someone who starts trashing him.

Then after he kills Cotto, they will say something different just like they did after he killed Mosley. Someone in this thread also said that Floyd dint wanna face Cotto. He wanted Saul but it didnt work. Thats the same thing Mosley said about Floyd. That he didnt want the fight and was forced into it.

No matter what happens in this fight, I think you will see by the way Floyd fights that he has absolutely no fear of Cotto. He might lose, it might be close, or he might destroy him, but you will know by the way he's fighting him that he has no fear of him

I remember perfectly when Floyd critics were saying the same thing in the Mosley build up. That Floyd seems scared, he's moving around too much, etc. But that didn't really matter for about 11 rounds of their fight.

You beat me to it.

Mosley actually delivered, except he gassed out. I know Cotto runs out of gas, too, but I won't expect it to happen too soon.

nah he didnt seem shook at all to me man.. basically he was more concerned about losing 100k.. he done face offs and hbo 24/7 so many times now its really just become a routine.. floyd seemed very relaxed in there to me.. i mean way too relaxed in fact.. it was kinda boring as a result, there was no tension in the air at all other than a 100k bet..
