Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto, May 5th [MGM Las Vegas]
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
2-0-Sixx the 6th round of the Cotto vs Mayweather fight proves to me that Mayweather will beat Manny. Watch that round and tell me that Cotto didn't land some bombs on Mayweaher, that's when Floyd nose started bleeding, and what happened at by the end of the round?? Mayweather got mean and landed some bombs that backed Cotto up. I'm telling you Manny is going to be in trouble if, he gets in the ring with Mayweather. I'm going to re-watch the HBO replay, because this fight was a high level brutal boxing classic. Both Cotto and Mayweather made a lot of fans that night.
I don't think cotto tells us much of anything, other than showing floyd can be at times vulnerable. Pac & Cotto obviously fight with two totally different styles, so it's tough to say. Cotto applies better pressure obviously as that's his game, pac is faster & hits harder and has that in and out style of fighting. It's an intriguing match up, no doubt it.
I can't remember the exact round(s), but it looked like Floyd's legs were gone or leaving (in the middle of the fight). It looked like the body shots that Cotto were landing were taking effect. Come on now dog.... Cotto landed that jab that busted Floyd's nose. You saw the slow motion replays, Cotto was landing some good shots that were snapping Floyd's head back. But to say he was never hurt is wrong. He was hurt but I don't think he was in trouble like in the Mosley fight.
Floyd pulled through though.

From round 6 thru 9 Cotto was landing some bombs, but Mayweather was landing more bombs, and started punishing Cotto from the 10th round till the end. He had Cotto hurt and almost down in the last round. Mayweather stand toe to toe with Cotto and we got a all action fight. Mayweather's combo punching, right hook, and left uppercut was a work of art. Cotto's left jab and hard body punching was brutal. We see why Mr. Talk To My Promoter wanted no part of Cotto at a 150lb catchweight.
This is what people are forgetting about Manny.
-Mosley and Marquez had Manny confused with a little movement, missing wild punches all night.
-Manny will have to submit to random drug testing.
-Manny doesn't know how to cut off the ring, to back Mayweather into the ropes.
-Mayweather defense is better then anything Manny has seen.
-Manny is wide open for counter shots.
-Mayweather will not me weight drained
Add all them factors up and you have a long hard night for Manny.
Plus Bradley might beat him anyway.

Mosley give out the blueprint of how to beat Manny. After the knocked down Manny didn't land another hard shot on old ass Mosley. If Mosley would've countered punched like Marquez did, the fight would've looked different. Manny was hitting air against Mosley..
But Marquez had the blueprint 3x already.

I just watched the whole fight again just now and Mayweather was never hurt! What I did notice is that not only was Cotto obviously hurt in the 12th but he was also hurt in the 9th. Also I initially gave Cotto 3 rounds during the first viewing of the fight and after watching again I only gave him 2 rounds which were the 6th & 8th round and thats it. Also how in the heck did Lederman give Cotto the 5th round? That was mind boggling. I mean he got every other round right so I will give him a pass but still curious! Manny doesnt want none of Money May. Got Em!!
As u may have read before I just watched the entire fight again and May was never hurt in the 8th and everytime he got hit he punched right back and shook his head everytime the fans thought Cotto landed a clean shot and he let us know that it didnt do jack. His legs never buckled once in the 8th and he stood his ground the whole round while fighting back. Got Em!!

if a fighter shakes their head after getting hit that isn't proof they werent hurt, often times guys do it when they are in fact hurt. hell, floyd was smiling after he was nearly dropped by mosley. now, that isn't to say floyd was hurt but he certainly looked bothered and very uncomfortable to say the least.
