**No coincidences** · 05-01-12, 02:09 PM

Is SBR Lou or John the big Mayweather homer? I'm assuming it's Lou given this post.

**killawookie** · 05-01-12, 02:13 PM

**Killer_Demo** · 05-01-12, 02:13 PM

I think mayweather takes this one...floyd always comes ready to fight

**AribaAriba** · 05-01-12, 02:20 PM

i'll take a shot on mosley vs the younger inexperience saul alvarez, having this fight on under card is like having double main event.

**Dank_Fire** · 05-01-12, 02:29 PM

Shane Mosley has lost his last four fights, hasnt one since turning 40. something boxers have trouble doing

Would have been less realistic if SBR Mary started this thread.

SBR Chris is quite real. Larger than life kinda guy actually.

You realize this?

So I take it you'll be betting thousands on Floyd then if Cotto can't win?

**SBR Chris** · 05-01-12, 04:12 PM

Freddie Roach thinks that Mayweather might have bitten off more than he can chew.

"Manny had one of his greatest victories against Cotto. But their styles [Pacquiao and Mayweather] are so different," Roach told Jose Sanchez. "Floyd sometimes averages 15 punches per round. How can you beat someone like Cotto, who is a strong puncher and throws so many punches [15 punches per round]? When Cotto catches you on the ropes, that's where he does his best work. And Mayweather likes to lean against the ropes to counter. In that scenario, Cotto could succeed."

"As for styles, it is an interesting fight," Roach added. "It's a good technical boxer fighting with a counter-puncher. Mayweather is strong physically, but I think Cotto is a bit stronger. Mayweather is definitely much faster, as was Pacquiao. Miguel has to be very careful about the kind of fight against a counter-puncher like Mayweather. I think his new coach will know how to fight him because he is Cuban and that is the style of almost all Cuban fighters [counter-punching]. With a good strategy, Cotto will do very good job."

**Grits n' Gravy** · 05-01-12, 04:14 PM

Roach would still bet his money on Floyd.

**Br0nxer** · 05-01-12, 04:18 PM

Saloon this bullsh1t

**jjgold** · 05-01-12, 04:19 PM

I repeat Cotto not allowed to win

Unless he knocks him out or drops him 3 to 4 times. Remember Cotto cuts easily and Floyd is an accurate puncher.

Absolutely. He sounds like a fool discussing this fight IMO, but I can understand he won't speak glowingly of Floyd.

**HauntingTheHoly** · 05-01-12, 05:06 PM

What are the limits? I just bet all my freeplay points on the Over, since only a goddam idiot would not see that as the *only* bet to make for this fight. I had just under 500. I may decide I wanna bet more. So....limits?

**crustyme** · 05-01-12, 05:20 PM

dont know you but you lost all credibility by quoting lou.

**HauntingTheHoly** · 05-01-12, 05:28 PM

@crustyme - who are you talking to? Not a single person has quoted lou in this thread, that I can see. Maybe I missed it?

**MonkeyF0cker** · 05-01-12, 05:41 PM

I just hope Mayweather loses. Can't stand him or his fanbase.

And it absolutely forces a Pacquiao v. Mayweather fight then (after he goes to jail). No weaseling out.

Of course we decent folks feel that way about Mayweather and his fan base, it's his fan base that I really can't stand. What morons. But unfortunately, it does *not* force a Pac fight. That fight has already been "forced" many times and Mayweather keeps refusing to do it. He won't do it until he's certain Pac has slowed down enough.

**MonkeyF0cker** · 05-01-12, 07:35 PM

That's because he's afraid of losing his undefeated record. He feels like he has nothing to gain. If he has a loss, he has to prove that he's better than Pac. Otherwise, his ego won't be served by the media and public.

**milwaukee mike** · 05-01-12, 07:37 PM

cotto is going to win this fight

take the big odds and make yourself rich

mayweather is unmotivated and has hit the career wall, he's going to be surprised in this fight

**milwaukee mike** · 05-01-12, 07:39 PM

"those who can afford to take the moneyline and profit more than $5 should lay the 1/7.'

what a joke laying 1/7 on a guy that's going to lose

see first post of thread

**HauntingTheHoly** · 05-01-12, 08:10 PM

@Mike - I think Mayweather will win, but could be in for a tough fight. If it's close, you know they'll give it to him. But laying 1/7 on Mayweather is pure nonsense. Lou has drank the Floyd Mayweather Kool-aid, or mabye "protein shake"

@Yisman - Werd. I saw that right after posting.

**milwaukee mike** · 05-01-12, 08:14 PM

^^

I respect your opinion but mayweather is gonna lose
last time i was this sure of a big dog winning a big fight were the 2 holyfield-tyson fights

Sooner or later speed runs out and these big time rich guys get lazy, i think this is that fight, like tyson's buster douglas moment

Ehh...I dunno. Tyson wasn't old/rich for that fight, he just straight up got his ass kicked by a very motivated and unafraid Buster Douglas. Then Holyfield beat him the same way. Anybody who wasn't a coward regarding the Tyson hype (ie Bruce Seldon), kicked Tyson's ass.

I think you gotta a point about the timing being right for Mayweather to lose, though. That's sorta why I see this being a close, tough fight. Cotto seems to be in a good spot, with his career picking up a second wind. Mayweather heading towards jail and then possibly going full Mike Tyson - a broke nut job in the loony bin.

**milwaukee mike** · 05-01-12, 08:29 PM

I was referring to tyson's laziness and lack of motivation in 1990 vs buster douglas

And yes he was quite rich at that time
