Who took more risks in their career against the harder opposition

Well floyd did move up 5 divisions I have to agree with you on that one Larry he did move up in weight but I think Cotto has more heart and he proves it by fighting tony margs, SSM, Clottey for whatever money he made those are 3 names you will never see on Floyds resume

money mayweather has fought some good competion but cotto has him beat torres ,quintana,moseley,margarito,clottey and now pac ...

Is that the real Flawless who voted for Floyd or someone trying to mock Flawless with the name Flawed! :lol1:

but we all now what floyd would have did to Malignaggi if they fought Isn't that the excuse all Floyd fans give, well we know what would have happened if he had gotten in the ring with so and so.

I put Zab for Mayweather because it was back when Zab was a threat, when he was still relevant to the title race. Cotto faught Zab when he was no longer relevant, when Zab became the guy to fight when someone needed a boost in their career. I can see that. But Zab was still coming off of being KTFO'd by Tszyu, and beat down for 12 rounds by an unknown named Baldomir who made his living by selling these things. http://www.gascoals.net/Portals/1/087/CAL-T&T-300-FeatherDuster.jpg

really? your serious? Malignaggi, is a good fighter, even Floyd called him a good fighter.

Also, as much as I love him ; I wouldn't put Zab on either man's dangerous opposition list. He'd already been beatdown twice by a pudgy dude with a rat tail, and a part time boxer who sold feather dusters for a living by the time Floyd beat his ass. And 3 times by the time Cotto beat his ass. Then again, you could also argue that with his speed, and stinging uppercut that Judah is always a threat in the ring. I'd be inclined to agree with that, but only for the first 12 minutes. I put Zab for Mayweather because it was back when Zab was a threat, when he was still relevant to the title race.

Cotto. BITD Mr boat buyer was a risk taker tho. But overall, Cotto did. wrong.. mayweather is the p4p greatest of all time, unlike kneeguel quitto.

mayweather...........

Cotto: Mosley, Margarito, Clottey, Judah, Quintana, Torres, Malignaggi, now possibly Pacquiao who has looked great against Oscar and hatton. Floyd: Oscar, Hatton, Castillo, Corrales, Gatti, Judah? really? your serious?

Cotto, even as a fan of Mayweather. However I have no doubt Mayweather beats him.

Cotto but only because he did.... Quintana(im not totally sure about this one though), Mosley, Margarito, Clottey. Everything else on his career isn't that great. Mayweather has.... Chico, ODLH, Zab Judah. Quintana was a risk. As he proved later on against Williams when he beat him like a redheaded stepchild and stole his Welterweight title. Torres was also a risk. Torres is one of those guys who's not spectactular at any one thing, but pretty good with almost everything. And his power is the main component to his element of danger. He dropped Cott in that one, that's a risky fight. Both guys could also get props for Demarcus Corley, also. Corley never gets enough credit. He's been in the ring with a virtual "who's who" of the past generation, and while he came up short in those fights ; he made a great showing of himself and often hurt the other man as well. (I know he wobbled Cotto, and I believe he stunned Mayweather Jr as well. Mayweather vs. Corley was a bullshit stoppage.)

If you're talking @ Welterweight, it's a no contest. Floyd hasn't faced 1 single Welterweight. :lol1: Fighting the likes of Margarito, Clottey, Quintana, Mosley, and Torres is a hell of a lot more dangerous than fighting Judah (former 140lbs'er), Mitchell, Baldomir, Oscar and Hatton. Give Floyd credit though, he edges it overall for facing prime Castillo twice, prime Corrales, Genaro Hernandez, and Carlos Hernandez. Remember the days when Floyd had balls?

Mayweather is so much better than cotto because he beat ricky hatton and de la hoya. he also is undefeated and he is black :).
