Before Cotto was dismantled by Margarito, the majority of yahoo answer fans thought Cotto would beat Floyd. Have you all been corrected now and seen the error in your judgement?

  1. Mayweather would take him to school and knock out weak chin Cotto. Torres rocked Cotto and was fighting smaller guy's. Do you remember the water that save Cotto from being on the mat. Rito wasn't Torres and showed that July 26. STill crying because Cotto has a lost. If Cotto boxed Rito for 5 round, what do you think PBF would do with better stamina and defense. Williams out boxed Rito. Skills win fights and Cotto didn't have them for 12rounds.Cotto got his Sh** busted up. Williams called out Rito and  no response. He responded to Oscar. Rito is duck duck ducking. Williams is begging for a rematch, it should be the other way around.  


  2. let me flash you guys back to a simpsons episode when homer was in boxing and only thing he had was a chin cotto got tired of hitting him in chin because normally when you hit somebody in the chin they feel the effect but cotto was hitting like those boxers did to homer and got tired and lost the fight.

    Floyd dont have that much of a chin and will be like when homer fought tatum and had to be rescued by moe  

  3. Mayweather would beat Cotto on any day. Last I checked retiring at 30 doesn't make you a coward. Mayweather has beaten everyone that has stepped in front of him. When you are a winner that gives you a choice of who you want to fight. If Mayweather would have fought Cotto and won, then people would be saying he has to fight Manny Pacquiao, it never ends. The fact is, Mayweather is on of the best of the 21st Century and regardless of the fact that he didn't fight Magrarito or Cotto, he will be in the history books. Everyone keeps bringing his name up for a reason. Margarito wasn't relevant until he beat Cotto, no one was saying Margarito is the best in the division. People just jump on the bandwagon of any fighter who Mayweather hasn't fought. This time last year everyone was saying Mayweather can't beat Ricky Hatton........Floyd Mayweather Jr. 39-0.....do the math.

  4. Mayweather is not Margarito and is not promised the same results. BTW at least cotto had the balls to fight someone mayweather turned down twice. Anyone can retire undeafeated by running from people and refusing to fight the best. I still would put my money on cotto if he fought mayweather. Besides if its such an easy payday why did mayweather turn down 22 million to fight cotto? He was offered a superfight in a title unification match. He is such an easy win why back out from such a big payday? Mayweather fans like you can run to his defense all you want but its no secret that his resume compared to cotto's is a sad joke.

  5. mayweather has a hard enough time breaking wind, much less a pane of glass with his punches.

    he is a technically stellar fighter, but he doesn't have a lot of 'thump' behind his punches.

    that has always been his true knock and always will be.  This also why he ducked a lot of major fighters and went after paydays instead...cough, cough, Oscar, cough, cough.  "the Golden Boy" is a great fighter too, don't get me wrong, a much better fighter in his prime than floyd.  But I always gave credit to Oscar, he fought people.

  6. If Cotto didn't get knocked out and had better stamina, I thought he could have won a decision to Margarito but I thought wrong. Margarito was too much for him. But it was a good fight and I don't count him out just because of that performance.

  7. I still pick Cotto to wreck Mayweather. Mayweather did not beat Cotto that night, Margarito did and Margarito is another fighter Floyd avoided.

    Cotto was in against a guy who should be fighting at middleweight, Cotto basically schooled him it was a size thing not a skill thing. And yes Cotto got tired but when you got a big guy like Margarito all over you and you cant hurt the guy because he outweighs you by about 20 lbs on fight night your going to get tired.

    Cotto would still hammer Mayweather, you think Mayweather could take 2% of the shots Margarito took? Your dreaming.

    Mayweather could do his little shell defense all he wanted, Cotto would pin point the openings and if he couldn't get through he would just wale on his arms till Mayweather couldn't lift them.

    Mayweather and Cotto are natural welterweights, Margarito could fight at Light heavyweight.

    Mayweather would not be around long enough to tire Cotto, are you forgetting the Mosley fight?? Did Cotto tire in that fight?? h**l no he didn't!

    There would be nothing Mayweather could do to win a fight against Cotto.

    Cotto by 5th round KO and the Mayweather hype train comes to and end.

    Margarito

    Cotto

    Mosley

    Williams

    All these guys beat Mayweather, he might out point Williams with allot of running by other then that he loses. Thats why retired at 30 years old after a big pay day. Hes not going to take less money to get his *** kicked. And the fact that he is not willing to fight in a welterweight division full of talent shows you that he just does not have the great stuff that the other greats had.

  8. actually, the majority picked mayweather, it's just that they got fed up of answering the same question every day so it just seemed with some questions that the majority picked cotto.

    i picked mayweather all along.

  9. cotto would would beat mayweather without a doubt, even though he lost against margarito, cotto has improved A LOT, mayweather would NEVER beat fighters like cotto or margarito, and he knows it, thats y he ducked both of them and retired like a little *****

  10. Wow, i have to bow down to Ruddiger. He definitely knows what he is talking about. Just because Cotto lost to a much bigger man, people think that he is not good. Well those first 6 rounds proved to me that he has way more skill than what i gave him credit for. Mayweather retired for a reason, he didnt want to get his *** beat by the top contenders in the welter weight division. Sure, he can come out of retirement and prove me wrong, who knows, in fact i want him to prove me wrong. He is a great fighter but his only problem was that he did not take the challenges that the people wanted to see and that is what is keeping mayweather away from being one of the greats.

  11. Weak Chin!?? What are you people talking about?? He lost in the 11th round of a title fight against a guy who is bigger and stronger! Of the which Mayweather is neither! Mayweather doesn't hit as hard as Margarito and Mayweather can't take a punch like him either. The match-up would be a good one if PBF were to fight Cotto. I say if PBF, wants to come back that is, use Cotto as a tune-up for Margarito. The numbers would be insane and the build-up for these 2, Marg-PBF, would be great!

  12. not me! i picked cotto to get beat and won 500 dollars!!!  

  13. yea i noticed that cotto didnt have the stamina. floyd would outbox him. cotto ran out of gas........it would still make a good fight.

  14. Cotto would still beat Mayweather, Mayweather would also lose to Margarito, he is not the best boxer, he is overrated, he doesnt accept the tough fights instead he fights oscar delahoya who is like 99 years old now, many of the great boxers he fought were past there greatest years, Cotto on the other hand was willing to face anybody which you have to respect, and his style of boxing counters mayweathers so it would be a good fight but Cotto will win.

  15. I think that this last fight showed only one thing and that is cotto needs to work on his stamina.he's a great fighter but he could never beat Mayweather.mayweather is just to talented defencively and is just to fast.cotto would chase mayweather for 8-9 rounds and then mayweather would flurry to knock him out.
