why mayweather would beat cotto and oscar in his prime

[brooklyn kid]

many say mayweather would lose to oscar in his prime but one has to think of the old saying when it comes to fights like these "styles makes fights"

you think back and everybody was saying ricky hatton was to much of a pressure fighter for floyd to pull out the win and how ricky knocked out castillo and floyd almost got beat by him well floyds style is a more of a
universal type style he has reasonable amounts of everything in his repretoire good hand speed but not the fastest, zab and roys hands were faster. good foot speed of course but we have all seen faster foot movement from the likes of roy jones.. again. great defense but pernell and winkys were far more superior.he has a good chin and power but he aint no rocky marciano

BUT.... the thing that seperates floyd from the rest is he is the most disciplined person ive ever seen in my life he never gets off his game plan
and he has NO exposable flaws and no im not kissing behind its just the truth
when he got rocked in the zab fight (where zabs hands were reasonably faster) did he start to panic and get fidgety no he kept his composure and came back strong jose luis castillo would have easily beaten floyd if floyd would have gotten discouraged just an ounce

so to all my hispanics me being full blown dominican just stop riding the cotto
band wagon he is a great fighter he most likely will be in the hall of fame but
hes just no floyd mayweather

i think paulie the magicman malignaggi could beat floyd mayweather junior.

its way too late for mayweather vs delahoya in his prime so why does he waste his time wit a "past his prime" delahoya(besides money)? all i know is mayweather should fight the best competition in his weight class or retire because there is no one out there to fight except for cotto.

Oscar on his prime would had PBF for breakfast. He made a good fight last year, so you could go ahead and refill that bowl again.

[niceguy45]

well cotto is in his prime but oscar is not,
and oscar would beat mayweather in his prime with ease

[pbftxrs316]

floyd beats oscar and cotto in their primes, period. i have already explained why before, but whoever wants to rebuttale my claim, come on and do and i'll re-explain myself to you.

Tigueraso, Cotto aint Hatton at 47, nothing like him.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

The jury is still out on Cotto, he hasn't cemented his legacy just yet. Oscar on the other hand is a HOFer easily. I think it would be a great fight and I wouldn't necessarily say Oscar beats Floyd in his prime but it would be much tougher for Floyd, simpoy because of the size difference.

I don't care too much for Floyd as a person and sportsman but he's the best there is right now and I would be a fool to say otherwise.

not a chance .......

floyd vs prime oscar is tough, i would lean towards mayweather.. it's hard to say with cotto yet.. right now i would go with floyd by close decision, but i still think that cotto poses the biggest threat to mayweather
