Well let me first say I'm a big fan of both Cotto and Mayweather. This would be a great fight. But Mayweather would win in my opinion. He does have the pop to hurt Cotto. He has way better stamina and he would wear Cotto down. Mayweather has a very underrated body attack. Those sharp little jabs he throws to his opponents dont look like much but they take alot out of you later in the fight. Plus Mayweather would take away Cottos money punch which is the left hook. Mayweather is faster then Cotto and would counter him to death when Cotto would try to unload to his body. Mayweather might not stop him but he'd win a UD in my opinion.

Simple, Cotto throughout his career has been acceptable to taking punches. Floyd takes advantage of this and coasts to a UD. Floyd is a better boxer than Mosley and he won't engage Cotto earlier on. By pot shotting, Floyd is able to take these earlier rounds. Also, Floyd is an great fighter on the inside, rarely taking damage. So if Cotto gets inside (either behind the jab like DLH did or recklessly like Hatton) I don't think Floyd will necessarily give him an opportunity to score. IMO, Floyd potshots earlier on and starts to open up towards the end. I have Floyd winning 116-112 IMO. My opinion might change if this fight takes place 2010 or later.

I agree with your opinion, but not enough to convinve me he could win ujsing this strategy, I will say taht Cotto's getting hit is a calculated self imposed option, to take what they throw while he gets in position to throw his, he knows that he is the stronger guy in the ring everytiome he is inside the ring...and counts on that, he is very confident that he can take a punch at 147..and he has proof that so far.....I can see PBF letting Cotto on the inside and exchange volume vs power shots...I just can see PBF taking a good ribbing from Cotto even if he is shoe shinning Cotto....agains Cotto doesn;t need to go inside to score, we have learn that Cotto is faster than what he obviously appears...but I like your argument nevertheless.:good

Cotto's defense is very lacking. He gets hit too often and is very open to right hands. Cotto in the early rounds against Judah, was being beat to the punch by the much faster Judah. As Judah faded, Cotto took over. This won't happen. Floyd will beat Cotto to the punch all night long. Taking control of Cotto's openings, the straight right hand and the uppercuts. Cotto will come forward with his hands high and chin low only to take shot after shot trying to come in. Everytime Cotto sets to punch Mayweather will have hit him and already moved on. Cotto will never get set. Cotto will pop the jab after finding initial success, only to be countered over the top by Floyds right hand. Cotto will become frustrated as the night goes on and realize Mayweathers power is far underrated. Cotto will try to work Floyds body pressuring him up against the ropes, he will hit nothing but air and arms. (Unless he decides its time to go low).

Mosley, Judah and I believe Urkal all landed over 45% of their power shots on Cotto. Mayweather the best plus minus fighter will have an even easier time.


Cotto is kept off balance by Floyds sharp counters and possibly gets stop on cuts to the mouth/excessive bleeding of the mouth/chin.

Yes he actually said that and no Im not making it up. He has picked against Mayweather since the Gatti fight.


his reasoning is, he doesn't like Mayweather on a personal level, so he doesn't pick him in fights.

Mayweather would beat cotto if:

Pot shot, move (run), stay off the ropes, use dirty tactics (forearms, elbows), clutch on the inside, clutch immediately after throwing. Make it ugly and win an unpopular decision.

Basically don't fight Cotto, box him and pray you win enough rounds.

I believe this proves rather ineffective against Mayweather, who has the best defense in the business. He is strategic when throwing punches and will often not throw a punch if he doesn't know if he can land it. That's why combos and flurries are rare for him now. If Cotto leaves himself open, Mayweather is just going to take one punch at a time instead of trying to land many punches and potentially leaving himself open. I have rarely seen Mayweather countered, so while this may be a decent strategy against more agressive boxer/brawlers like Judah and Mosley, I think it has no effect against Mayweather. By throwing single shots, Mayweather is not going to leave himself open and will open up a nice lead against the usually slow starting Cotto. This will force Cotto to change his game then and he will have to open himself up to counters. This is when Mayweather will start to get more aggreesive and will attempt to try to stop (even though I doubt he will) Cotto.

Again...I like your argument but you have to many if's...and you are counting that if Cotto can implement plan A he will be lsot...you are talking a world class boxer that proof he can trained to improve his weakenesses , i.e.-Jab against SSM..., so I beleive that Cotto will be preapre for what ever PBF bring...againt I can see PBF hurting Cotto, not at 147 , Cotto is tway to strong at this weight for PBF to sit an wait..and one punch at the time will not do aginst Cotto, at least I strongly beleive that...and fighting a Baldo type fight of hit an run will not work Cotto is stronger and faster than Baldo so he will move along with PBF.....

I beleive that like Cotto would ahve to fight the best fight of his career to beat PBF , so will PBF to beat Cotto, nothing less than his A game will bring his victory

you spend a whole paragraph to say: Cotto defence sucks...I will say that Cotto\s defence is far better than what many thinbks, but he take the calculating risk to take your shots for the chance for him to connect his...the question is, can PBF take a solid left hook to the chin o the rib cage from Cotto...that is yet to be seen....PBF doesn not ahve the one pucnh power to stop Cotto, and sure he could possibly re-open Cotto cut on the mouth and that could be critical...we have prescedent but, we have also seen that very few been able to withstand Cotto's savage bodily attack..

Cotto will calsulate he will eat some leather from PBF on this fight just fro the chance to corner and hit...not like Hatton...but far more calculated to minimize the hits....

You have to look at one underlying point whenever someone signs to fight PBF: How easily can they be hit? Thats almost all that matters. If PBF can figure out a way to hit you, he will figure you out and by rounds 6-8 you will be getting nailed REPEATEDLY by laser accurate punches until you forget your entire gameplan.

Baldomir, Hatton, and Judah (once he slows down) are easy fighters to hit, so PBF hit them very cleanly and discourages them. The only reason Oscar wasnt so easy to hit was due to the size advantage and power. Cotto is a very strong fighter, and one that I LOVE to watch, but Mosely hit him a lot, and he wasnt nearly as active or accurate as PBF would be. Judah's shots rocked Cotto in the early rounds, but he gave up and let Cotto steamroll him. This would NOT happen against Floyd. PBF would be landing his best shots as the fight progressed, which would be new to Cotto. Mosely could have beat Cotto if he threw more accurate punches and if he let his hands go more. PBF would do this and much more defensively and beat Cotto fairly convincingly.

Cotto fans say that Cotto has some advantages over Mayweather.

No Cotto's defence is not better than most think, the fact is he DOES get hit alot, whether you wanna admit that or not. The thing that makes cotto dangerous is his willingness to come forward dig deep and keep going he's like a bull. I have read that the game plan to beat mayweather is by "effective pressure", now although that may work, i honestly dont think that floyd is going to let cotto settle into that "effectiveness" because of his excellent footwork and ability to get in and get out, very quickly. He has an excellent jab wit lazer right hands and an immaculate defence. I believe that the game plan floyd used against hatton should be employed against cotto, with a few adjusments.

Now onto Cotto, as we witnessed against mosley he has improved alot in terms of his ability to stay on the outside and counter using his jab when needed, he fought a very tactical fight. Everyone is talking about Cotto's dangerous body punching, that would hurt floyd. LET IT BE KNOWN IF COTTO COMES IN U CAN BET UR MORTGAGE, THE SAME HOOK THAT DROPPED HATTON WILL BE WAITING. To beat floyd, Cotto must mix it up head, head, body, body. come in, go out and throw volume of punches as dela hoya did (except land those shots and not hit da gloves). The other advantage cotto has the power to hurt floyd

Now for my prediction, i predict floyd by UD, simply because i dont think FLOYD is going to let cotto settle into his game plan. Floyd is a master of the ring and at analysing his opponents weaknesses. Slowly, slowly, round by round floyd will pick cotto apart on his way to a decisive but competitive fight.

I beleive that like Cotto would ahve to fight the best fight of his career to beat PBF , so will PBF to beat Cotto, nothing less than his A game will bring his victory

what we know of both fighters is floyd throughout his whole career (atleast what ive seen) always brings his A+ game ... meaning NO MISTAKES for the most part
cotto always comes tough but is far from perfect...

Mosley ate shots I'm not sure Mayweather can take. Corley had PBF wobbled, I imagine Cotto could have him out on his feet.

I think it's a great fight win or lose for either fighter. IMO it's a 50/50 fight.

currect but the only time mosley ate punches is when he stayed infront of cotto... when he moved around and stayed on his feet cotto didnt hit him with anything serious





with that being said IM a floyd fan but also like cotto as well.. if floyd didnt exist cotto would prolly be my favorite boxer... as soon as i saw cotto box i thought he would beat floyd... but after reading some of this people make good points.. to try to keep it short.. when shane boxed cotto and was in rhythm he didnt have much trouble with cotto ( even tho he lost he wasnt comfortable for much of the fight in my eyes ) zab broke into cotto with his speed (but couldnt maintain the pace or even have the discipline to box effectively) so what we do know of floyd is he has both factors that left boxers similar to him successful and where those 2 boxers failed he wont (floyd will box cotto we all know that, and floyd WILL Maintain pace he has his whole career) atleast based on his history...


as for cotto all the intangibles of this fight lay with him....

WILL HE HIT FLOYD = nobody usually does effectively
WILL HE ABLE TO PRESSURE PROPERLY= nobody has up to this point from what ive seen
DO YOU THINK COTTO WILL FIGURE OUT FLOYDS RHYTHM= nobody has up to this point from what ive seen
WILL HE CRACK FLOYD DEFENSE= who has up to this point?

for cotto to win all these questions would have to be answered yes. and these are things floyd has proved that he is so successful at throughout his whole career

like i said before i used to think cotto had exactly whats necessary to beat floyd... but after thinking about it i dont know.. floyd is so fucking perfect (no nuthugging but jesus you gotta admit the guys amazing) on defense and effective on offense... cotto COULD really struggle then again he could tear floyd up.... based on both fighters history you have to give floyd the edge

after typing this rant
i started 60-40 for cotto
now im 60-40 floyd.... maybe even 70-30

floyd wins ud by 3-4 rounds

Ok, here's a chance for you'll PBF fans to convince me on how PBF would defeat Cotto...please I want an analysis...a true analysis on how he would beat Cotto.....maybe you will convince me if your argument is good enough....:good


Cotto's style is tailor made for Mayweather's style. He is a come forward pressure fighter who breaks his opponents down with his tremendous power and well placed accurate punches. However, he gets hit way too often. This spells doom for any opponent of Mayweather. Mayweather is by far the most accurate scientific puncher in the sport right now and he will make Cotto pay. Cotto's power will be offset by Mayweather's quick jab and counterpunching. To give you a much clearer picture just remember how Mosley and Judah were able to land on Cotto but add superior defense and lightning quick accurate counter shots and you have Mayweather vs Cotto. Mayweather will outbox Cotto for 12 straight rounds resulting in a UD.
Convinced?
