(ThyBlackMan.com) WBA junior middleweight champion  Miguel
Cotto (37-2, 30 KO’s) in a tough situation where he may have only one chance of
beating undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26 KO’s)  in their May 5th fight
and that’s if Cotto can somehow hurt Floyd  Mayweather Jr.  with one of his
big right hands and then flurry on him  to finish the job. Short of that, Cotto
loses the fight and loses badly.


Without the speed, boxing ability and the needed talent to win this  fight,
Cotto finds himself in a situation where he’s going to need to  try and bulldoze
Floyd Mayweather Jr.  and get a stoppage if he’s to  have any chance at
winning this  fight. No one on earth sees Cotto out-boxing
Floyd Mayweather Jr.  to get a  decision. That’s just not going to happen
unless it’s one of those East  Coast jobs where Cotto wins a hometown decision.
I can’t see that  happening because there are too many eyeballs on this
fight.


Cotto’s only chance at winning is if he can catch Floyd Mayweather  Jr. with
a powerful shot and then hope he’s hurt enough to where Cotto  can finish it.
Cotto’s stamina is such that if he were to try and flurry on Floyd Mayweather
Jr. , he’d be at risk of running out of gas and  getting beaten up himself.
Cotto doesn’t have good stamina and if he  trows too many punches he’ll gas out
and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be  able to come on and get a quick stoppage.


Cotto looked fragile in his last fight against a faded Antonio  Margarito
last December, winning by a doctor’s stoppage in the 9th  round. Cotto, however,
looked to be on the verge of another collapse in  the 9th, as Margarito was
clearly coming on and starting to land more  and more shots. That was one of
those lucky stoppages for Cotto because  Margarito would have been all over him
in the 10th, 11th and 12th  rounds. We might have seen Cotto take a knee again
to escape the  punishment.
