Do you think mayweather is afraid of cotto?

Question

cotto can knock out mayweather in one punch. mayweather can knock cotto in one lucky puch.

Answer 1

I don't think he's afraid at all he's just trying to make it become a bigger money fight. If cotto really want's the fight all he has to do is call him out or even say one negative thing about Maywether to p**s him off.  So who is really scared? is cotto scared to call him out? Look what happened when hatton talked trash about maywether after his win over Castillo. His fight with Maywether was signed within a month and a half because Maywether wanted it after he heard what Hatton said. Plus if you look at it Floyd has one of the best defenses today against body punches if you could see how his gaurd is. Cotto was also getting hit with big overright hands by Mosley and Mosley was getting hit because he wasn't jabbing and standing right in front of cotto and the fight was still close! So just imagine Floyd's Defense, Speed, jab, and straight Right. Cotto has it comin.... If he get's past Margarito!!!!.........????

Answer 2

Floyd is a joke! I've read a lot of articles about his excuses in not fighting Cotto... There's Cotto doesnt bring money in the table, Cotto's not that worth fighting, Floyd is planning to retire, Cotto hasn't fought great fighters.. blah blah blah.. etc... Lots of excuse for a #1 Ranked Pound for Pound fighter... Cotto already defended his title 10 or 11 times... I just think its time Floyd gives Cotto a chance to beat him...

Answer 3

He's not scared, i'm pretty confident he can whoop cotto's a$$, and I know mayweather is planning to fight him in 2009, he just doesn't want to deal with bob arum. These days, everyone wants to fight mayweather, simply because he is the best, so its easy to say he's ducking people, when in reality, he can beat every welterweight out there.

Answer 4

I would not say afraid but probably feels fighting Cotto is a step back. I personally feel that it wouldnt be a step back and would love to see it. I like Mayweather but i feel that Del La Hoya might pull something out of the bag in there next fight. If Mayweather wins against Del La Hoya maybe a rematch with Hattton and then maybe Cotto.

Answer 5

he's not afraid of Cotto its not his job to call him..out..if cotto wants to fight against mayweather call him out which he hasn't done that...he will come out and play..this is how i see it floyd wants money they don't call him money mayweather for nothing.cotto is not a house hold name or ticket seller mayweather already said that.. .plus its high risk low reward...think about it he won't get paid good and he putting his "0' on the line. mayweather has nothing to prove he already did he's the welterweight champion and the best pound for pound fighter in the world.. its not in his interest to take this fight..but if cotto calls him out he will fight him..i don't think he's a punk..cotto hasn't done that..let's see if he does.mayweather is the champ..champs don't have to call out nobody. they are proven there not the champ for nothing...its the contenders job to call out..cotto doesn't seem like that type of guy to call out somebody so we kind got to sit and wait..if somebody else does it for him.

Answer 6

Cotto gets hit too much. Cotto defense still havent change. Mosley and Gomez hit Cotto with the over right hand. The right hand over Cotto left shoulder, he has no answer for. Cotto doesn't move his head, just jump right in. I like to see what Cotto add against Margo. Cotto camp is working on his condiction. Cotto has stamina issue when he has to fight a hard fight. Margo is working on, using his reach and hight advantage. I been saying this for the longest. The reason Cotto is working on his condition, because of Margo stamina and pressure. Only way you beat pressure, is ring movement, smarts/stamina, knowing when to sit down on your punches and moving effectively for 12r. Only PBF knows how to do this type of fighting. I dont think he's afraid but wants to big money. Cotto biggest pay was 3 something mil and Margo 1. something mil. Your do the adding and you tell me.

Answer 7

Cotto will put Mayweather on his *** his body shots ends career, dont get me wrong mayweather is one of the best but he's NEVER fought anybody like Cotto, Mayweather speed will help him survive a bit but just a bit Cotto will finish him , Mayweather is afraid for sure.

By the why great question can't wait till they fight who do you have your money on taking all bet! cotto all day baby!

Answer 8

I don't think he is afraid. But what I do see is him trying to milk the fight for as much money as possible. Why fight Cotto and Margarito. When they can fight each other and you would only have to fight one now. The Cotto/Margarito fight will determine if this fight is going to happen. If the PPV numbers are right and crowd is big in Vegas. Than without a doubt I could see this happening in 2009. By then you'd have the crowd wanting to see & calling him out to defend that P4P status he has.

Answer 9

Yes Mayweather is afraid of Cotto.  Maybe not afraid of him physically, but afraid of him in the sense he doesnt want to take a loss.  Mayweather said he wont allow boxing to "retire him".

Mayweather talks about how certain fighters like Cotto cant bring PPV numbers, so they havent earned the right to fight him.  All he talks about is money. Maybe Im from the old school but the way I see it, fighters fight for respect. Money is second.  

The sad thing is Mayweather has a fairly good shot at beating Cotto, but I seriously doubt his character flaws will let him take the fight.

Answer 10

FLOYD JOY MAYWEATHER IS VERY AFRAID......Cotto has the speed and power pretty boy has never seen before....he is scared but he wont back down so this fight is happening in 2009! after cotto eats oscar's heart in dec.

COTTO KO ROUND 10

Answer 11

Cotto gets hit too easily.  If an out of his prime mosely can hit him with right hands then a Mayweather in the same shape as the Hatton fight will dominate him.  COtto is a threat but I dont think Mayweather is afraid he is just looking for big money.  Mayweather is playing the business side of boxing and is prepping this event for a huge payday.  Cotto is going to lose to Margarito anyway so this may never happen.  Either way i see Mayweather most likely going to a decision but if Miguel Torres can put Cotto on his a** then Mayweathers accurate punches have a good shot for a K.O.

Answer 12

i think mayweather thinks cotto is a threat. i think he knows that cotto can hurt him and has a chance of beating him. floyd would really need a lucky shot to KO cotto cause floyd dont take much risk. pot shoting cotto aint gonna do it. remember cotto aint the smaller hatton who coulnt even push mayweather around.

edit- it doesnt seeme that cotto has a china chin now . i think he was killing himself to make weight when he fought at 140 and that made him weak. his been hit hard by judah,mosley and he took them pretty d**n good . his chin will really get tested when he faces Margarito.

Answer 13

well its hard for people to compare hatton with cotto, because hatton is known to have a very tough jaw and cotto has a pretty much glass jaw, i would like to see cotto KO mayweather but if mayweather keeps using his accuracy and power and hits cotto on the button then its all over, u have to remember that cotto aint peaked yet, he is very close to peaking thats why its hard for mayweather to take such a risk, but he cant retire in peace until he has beaten the best in his division.cotto or margarito. de la hoya is way past his prime now, this september fight between them is a waste of time in my opinion, more like a golden boy fund raiser for both of there retirements... :)

Answer 14

Either Mayweather is building up the real estate of the fight or he's afraid. It's one of the two.

Answer 15

Mayweather is afraid of all the tough fighters. He is not afraid of them personally, but is afraid to lose his "0". He doesn't realize that his legacy will have a very negative mark because of it. He would be better off losing a fight or two but fighting everyone.

Answer 16

Yes there is that word again; afraid what is he afraid of getting hit, getting hurt.  He is in the hurting business and he is in the wrong sports if thinks he won't get hit or hurt.  So I don't think he is afraid.

For the record they said that about so many fighters, Floyd is afraid of Oscar, Hatton etc etc etc.  He is afraid of not getting paid the big bucks and lets face that's the only thing that will scare him.

Lets try a different angle why do you think Cotto deserves to fight Mayweather, what has he done to justify such a lofty position.
