Lets go
COTTO, I hope he sends money to jail with a loss.
21 years of coaching and every senior who stayed had at least 1 big ten title... That is what " Those who stay will be champions" will really get you Ohio native Bo Schembechler.

Thanks! Been a Cotto fan for
Thanks! Been a Cotto fan for years. Really hoping he has a great fight tonight. He'll need to be almost perfect to win. I think he has to go for the KO.

Official Start?
Anybody know the official start time of the fight? And yes, I think we'd all love to see Floyd get his ass knocked out.
...drink...this is a terrible idea
Would guess around midnight,
Would guess around midnight, depends on how long the undercards go.
I used to think Manny would take Floyd down, but i was extremely underwhelmed watching Manny against Marquez. Manny is definitely slowing down, and I don't think he has the handspeed to get through Floyd's defense. Floyd would outpoint Manny.
Just hoping for a good fight tonight; Mayweather's last fights have been snoozefests.
Just to prove the stereotypes wrong
I am a mid-30's white married father and I love May and all his antics. Floyd is an excellent salesman and an even better fighter.
I think he wins tonight, and if the Pac man fight does happen, he'll beat him too.

I'm a mid-30's Asian guy, and I think Mayweather would beat Manny as well.
FWIW I think Mayweather is a racist fu*k, but he's a helluva boxer, maybe the best ever.
Best ever?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Dodging top fighers in their
Dodging top fighers in their prime aside (valid critique for Mayweather), have not seen a better defensive fighter.
Yes, I was not alive during the 50s, 60s, and do not remember the fighters of the 70s. Same argument basketball, football, baseball all yap about when comparing eras. But Mayweather is an all-timer, and I stand by the fact he may be the best ever in the mid-weights (welter/middleweight).
If you state yourself that
If you state yourself that you know nothing of past fighters or boxing history you have no basis to claim he may be the best ever.
As I said, this is really a
As I said, this is really a stupid, circular argument;
Joe Louis in his prime can't fight Floyd Mayweather circa 2000. We can't see Manny fight De La Hoya in his prime, instead of the washed-up version we were treated to.
All we can do is look at a given time period, and compare it to other time periods. There has not been a fighter who's been able to outbox, both defend and counter, opponents like Mayweather since the late 90s until the present day.
So it really doesn't matter what Rocky Marciano did, what Sugar Ray did, hell the tear Tyson went on: direct comparisons cannot be made. I cheerfully admit I know nothing of boxing before Leonard/Hagler; doesn't change the fact that like it or not, Mayweather is the dominant fighter of the era (although Lewis has an argument in a depleted heavyweight division).
We agree to disagree.
All timer and best ever are
All timer and best ever are very different. Joe Louis and Mayweather? Joe Louis in his prime would have destroyed Mayweather. Louis was a 66-3 heavyweight that beat the likes of Schmeling and Walcott. You don't need to see that fight to know how it would end. What about Muhammad Ali? I heard he was alright. I heard he beat some damn good boxers too. Unless, of course, Foreman and Frazier and Liston and Norton and Spinks don't compare to the talent of Mayweather's era. Sure, it's tough to compare across generations, but it's not so tough to make educated guesses.
I concur...
32 year old whitey here. Nobody can penetrate the Floyd d. He would frustrate the heck out of manny.
This fight would've been more
This fight would've been more interesting 5-6 years ago before Margarito ruined Cotto. BUT.....pretty boy dodged him back then. Of course he will fight him now, always ducking guys in their prime. Would love for the upset but it won't happen, just like the Manny fight.
FOUL LANGUAGE WARNING!!!!
If you aren't a fan of Floyd you will enjoy these links(can't embed on phone)
Legendary rapper and astute boxing aficionado RA the Rugged Man straight up calls Floyd out on Sirius Shade 45's All Out Show a few years back. A good listen if you want to hear Floyd be put in place.

I'll never understand that
I'll never understand that whole Floyd ducks people thing, every top prize fighter ducks people or makes outrageous demands for fights.
Hell for the all the "ducking" Floyd does when he came up to 147 a Prime Mosley chased the money to fight oscar and Floyd has done the same thing in chasing the money.
Everyone's loverboy Manny has the most outrageous demands of anyone, hell how far did Oscar have to go down or Cotto for that matter.
Cotto has a shot and Floyd as times can be caught, Zab Judah caught him at one point and Mosley caught him at one point. If Cotto can bust up floyd inside a little bit he might be able to slow him down and catch him in the later rounds. I dont think Floyd has the power to put Cotto away unless it is 5 or 6 clean shots.
Should be a fun fight and I would bet money on Floyd, but would not be surprised if it is closer than people think or if Cotto can catch him with a solid shot.
You're wrong.
You're wrong.
Too much $
As much as i love boxing I can't spend $70 on a fight so that a punk like Mayweather can make 32 million that he flashes around and squanders. I hope cotto flattens him
Must not like the nba or nfl much then, huh?

Hate the nba but for different reasons. At least with the nfl I don't feel like the money's going directly into one idiot's pocket. Plus have you seen how Floyd just throws money around (2 million dollar bets on random nba games)
Yeah I've seen it. We all have as he is marketing
and building his brand of "Money" Mayweather.
It's a very savvy move as the people who don't appreciate it, like yourself, want to watch his fights to see him lose, while people like me, who understand what he's doing is show business and find it funny and appreciate his abiliites will watch to see him win.
Boxing, MMA and pro wrestling all have the same model and the very worst thing that can happen is indifference to the product/fighter then people won't buy.

Who's next for Alvarez?
Don't think he's crazy enough to try to go up to middleweight for Martinez...and honestly, I don't think either Manny or Mayweather want anything to do with Alvarez. There is a LOT of power behind those shots to Moseley.
I think Moseley is in real risk of getting KOd from this fight.
This must have been posted
This must have been posted before Alvarez fought so I will give you the benefit of the doubt. But...there is no way you could have watched his fight agaisnt Shane and the Mayweather fight right after and thought they belonged in the same ring.

Shane Mosely has absolutely nothing left to prove in the ring. He's never backed down from anyone, and he showed tremendous heart vs Canelo. However, he should not fight anymore. As Lederman said, that fight was hard to watch. Alvarez has huge potential, and is already very polished for 21 years. Imagine Canelo vs Cotto. Those guys lobbing bombs back and forth. We'll see. Enjoy the main event fellas.
