FINAL PREDICTION: Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto

I pretty much nailed it. I said Floyd UD but Cotto would make him earn it. Sly on the other hand, said it would be like the Gatti fight.

 

Yeah well I was wrong. I stand by my reasons for making that prediction though. I'm surprised it was competitive

 

Floyd is clearly more declined than Pac. After JMM 3 I was pretty sure Mayweather would have no problem with Manny. I'm not so convinced now. Pac will have better stamina, be more aggressive and he's way faster than Cotto. I really think Pac might stop Mayweather.

 

He's not just faster than Cotto, he's quite a bit quicker than Floyd.

But as far as physical decline, they've slowed down equally IMO.

But Floyd still has better reactions than Manny, and of course longer reach.

Bradley should tell us how much Pacquiao has declined mentally, or if he still has his trademark fighting spirit waiting to show.

 

I said the same thing.

 

Nothing has changed...Floyd simply gets hit a bit more now than ever. The same factors are in place. Manny would eventually walk into a shot then it's lights out.

It's still a mismatch.

 

I have no idea why you think that would happen. Since when is Floyd this lights out puncher?

Manny's chin is also very solid, he walked through shots from Shane and Cotto with no effect.

Not to mention neither fighter would take the necessary risks for that to be a realistic possibility.

Realistically it'll probably look similar-ish to the Manny Vs Marquez 3 fight, slow paced and technical, neither fighter taking many risks but with Floyd proving a bit too big, too hard to hit, and a bit too crafty, and winning about 8 rounds to 4.

 

Any more talk like that and I'll have you committed. :notallthere:

Pac could not stop tiny JMM on three tries, Margarito after hitting that slow no defense having mummy with everything including the kitchen sink but he's going to stop defensively sound fast and smart mayweather who has never even been knocked down before?

Your parents are siblings

 

Floyd didn't stop JMM either, and he didn't stop Cotto and he didn't even dare get in the ring with Margarito. You know who did stop Cotto? Manny. With the exception of JMM, Manny has looked better against common opponents.

Your mother and I had relations.

 

Foreman looked better against common opponents than Ali. You don't stop someone because you look better against common opponents.

You uncle/dad dropped you on your head as a baby

 

Let's see what excuse Floyd comes up with next to avoid fighting Manny after he KO'd Bradley.

 

I think Floyd pretty much pulled a Ray Leonard of Duran I and chose to fight on his opponents terms, which made it more difficult for him than it was supposed to be (if losing two rounds counts as difficult at all). Had it been a more dangerous guy, Floyd would certainly have moved more and avoided shots, pot-shotting toward victory. Now he chose to fight it out and people claim he is slipping. He might be but this doesn't tell us everything

 

This post couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't really move at all these days, his mobility has taken a big hit, he's now a stationary counter puncher basically, and it was Cotto that forced him into an uncomfortable fight, bullying him on the ropes and not giving him room to work etc.

 

Even if what you say were true, UGO's most indisputable point was avoided....Cotto only won 2 rounds.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it fucker... :giggle:

 

That's more than he won vs Manny. Put that in your pipe and smoke Floyd's pole.

 

Marquez won 6 rounds against Manny (7 in the opinion of the majority) and one a grand total of ZERO against Floyd.

Put that on your dad's dick and smoke it. :giggle:

 

I already made a dick joke, get your own material!

Pac STOPPED Cotto, RETIRED Hatton, knocked him out so bad he literally wanted to kill himself and STOPPED Oscar when all Floyd could do is squeak out a SD.

 

Pac fought these guys at weights that they wasn't comfertable at. Cotto hasn't fought at welterweight since the Pac fight. Oscar had no business fighting at 147. Hatton was overated but drew numbers.

 

word.

PLUS Hatton had already lost his confidence and punch resilience after Floyd beat it out of him.

 

Floyd fought Hatton at a weight he wasn't comfortable at, and lost rounds to him. Plus it was Oscar's idea to call Pacquiao out for a 147 pound fight, hardly Manny's fault.

Lest we not forget, everyone thought that was a mismatch DESPITE knowing Oscar would obviously struggle to make weight.

 

Was he ever outweighed by 10lb vs Pac? Was he ever carrying a flabby gut on top of a weight disadvantage vs Pac?

 

Come on lets not bullshit around....Hatton might have lost his confidence, but punch resilience/resistance hardly. NOW after Pacquiao was done with him, his punch taken ability must be SHOT...

 

Just because Floyd fights that way now does not necessarily mean that he couldn't use more movement if he had to. After all, he was never seriously hurt and handled the pressure pretty easily. It is only in these days that receiving a couple of punches and having a bloody nose equals as bad performance

 

No.

 

You have to love the way the Floyd nut huggers come on in here blabbing about how well Floyd did with Marquez......Floyd basically had that guy all over the place with the weights.

 

i think it's safe to say we all agree that Floyd basically dominated Cotto..

And we can all agree that he held off from stopping him Because if he did.. little pac would NEVER fight Floyd..

 

Floyd Mayweather, career ruiner! He's Tito now huh?

Pac fought his at his best weight, he had never lost at 140!

 

Same way Manny carried JMM and made the fight close on purpose. Floyd still wouldn't fight him though. He should have got knocked out, then Maybe Floyd would grow some balls.

 

Yes, I bet it made Hatton really uncomfortable to not have to drain an extra 7 lbs of water and rehydrate the night before the fight. Fighters need to drain and rehydrate in order to really be at the top of their game.

 

Well, what's Pac going to do? Demand USADA testing? ::
