"Why should Floyd fight Cotto? Theres no way Cotto can beat him so its pointless. He will just end up like Hatton."
I think thats the most annoying "argument" with this whole situation. I mean, its completely mind blowing that someone would even say or THINK that. These are people that consider themselves "boxing fans".
I think Cotto definately has more of a chance of beating Floyd Mayweather than, say... Oliver McCall had of beating Lennox Lewis.
Which is why the fight needs to happen, regardless of everyone's Nostrodamus-like powers of prediction.
Sure he doesnt
Sure he wont
Sure he will
cotto hasn't feared fighter's power who have much better power than floyd. please don't reply with things that happened at 140lbs. which cotto dehydrated himself to make
was floyd able to avoid castillo or hatton's pressure? neither of them are in cotto's league either.
i agree that he will..
either way, this fight won't happen..

I think floyd should fight cotto cause a fight would settle things once and for all!!! Floyd would win the fight but it would be great to see how both cotto and floyd handle each other!!!

Cotto in my mind is Floyds only threat right now...to think floyd is simply going to retrace his steps in the next two years by fighting Oscar and Ricky makes me want to puke.
Cotto has beaten up Paulie Malinaggi, Shane Mosley and Zab Judah...the next logical progression is Floyd...I honestly believe it is a U pickem fight and if you put a gun to my head I would take Cotto. Cotto is a bigger faster stronger more relentless version of my boy JL Castillo...Floyd in victory against Cotto would have to look ugly to win...he would be on his bicycle in the championship rounds in my opinion.(which would not sit well with the viewing audience)
Floyd looked good against Hatton no doubt, he stopped the junior welterweight champion of the world in his physcial prime so props to money may for that no question....
BUT...
Ricky was the Jr welter champ not the welterweight champ or even in the top 3,4, 5 or 6 at 147 (anyone think he should be rated ahead of Clottey, Margarito, Cintron, Williams at the time, Cotto and even Collazo?)in thw world so it is easy to play devils advocate against Floyd...He has not beaten a top welterweight plain and simple!
To say Ricky and Cotto are the same is just no knowing your stuff...Hatton would have been destroyed against Cotto in fact had they of fought Ricky would have been embarrassed, overpowered and probably pising blood for months.
Big props for the fashion in which floyd beat Hatton I thought he would win but did not think he would stop the hitman...with that said the most important fight in our sport is without mothefucking question...
Floyd Mayweather vs. Miguel Cotto and I wish GBP would realize that and get out of the fucking way!
Cotto isn't afraid of Floyds power because he knows he has none.
Sure he doesnt
Floyd won't be able to evade and run like he did with Delahoya Sure he wont
Cotto will pressure him to death.
Sure he will

Real boxing fans want to see the two best welterweights fight each other. Period.
it's funny there are quite a few reasons as a fight fan to hate floyd,there are zero for cotto,so alot of it comes from the obssesive floyd boys who hate cotto cause floyd doesn't want to fight him.
I think floyd completely outclasses cotto....
With that said... theres not one other person floyd should fight... BUT cotto.
i dont think he outclasses him, but just beats in the manner he beat DLH, but i dont know that for sure, no one does right? That STILL shouldnt be a reason and I cant figure out why these little kids would say something like this if they were truly boxing fans.
