Mayweather-Cotto second press tour for fight promotion – Boxing News
Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto is scheduled for May 5, 2012, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight is being widely promoted by its organisers. Last week, we saw the first leg of the fight’s press tour and today was the second leg. Both the fighters
along with their camps were present there making some solid statements to excite fans for the big day.
Both the fighters came up with their own ways of telling fans how good they will be for the fight. Mayweather, as always, was the one throwing more aggressive statements. He iterated, “I’m not looking to cheat. I tell Miguel Cotto I don’t want to fight you
at a catch weight. I want to fight the best Miguel Cotto. To be the best you’ve got to beat the best and he’s one of the best fighters out there today. I want to finish putting the rest of the pieces, you know, it’s a puzzle and you’ve got certain pieces that
go to the puzzle and he’s one of the pieces so I can solidify myself as one of the best fighters to have ever lived….Pacquiao’s an amazing fighter, but all I’ve got to say is if you don’t got nothing to hide then take the test.”
On the other hand, Cotto started his speech saying he does not want to talk much, he just wants to tell his fans that he will now be visiting California and then finally he will get back to his training. He guaranteed that he will give his best against Mayweather
and that the fight will be one of the biggest of all times. Lastly, he said he would try his level best to make every Puerto Rican proud.
Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto, both are highly successful and popular fighters with huge fan following. Their bout on May 5 is surely going to be a big event and among the best fights of 2012. Analysts are of the view that Mayweather has higher chances
of winning than Cotto, since Mayweather is an unbeaten fighter and he is better than Cotto when it comes to speed, resilience and punching power.
