Manny gave Miguel a beating from the middle towards the stoppage and looked very impressive.
My question is, if Mayweather fought Cotto would he have looked as impressive as Cotto?
how would he have hurt Cotto? The same way he hurt JMM? He knocked JMM down and proceeded to fight with caution. Cotto has a significantly better chin the Hatton so it wouldnt have looked like the Hatton fight either. There is nothing in Floyd's last fights that indicate he would have destroyed Cotto in the manner Pacquiao did. If you're a fan of the sport, you'd see that.
if you're a fan you would know that any fighter could be hurt at any given time. for the record cottos chin and stamina are terrible. plus i never said he would have destroyed him the that fashion but he can knock him out
Floyd may not have eventually knocked out Cotto, but he damn sure wouldn't have lost rounds to him. That makes a Mayweather shutout a better win than Pac's in my opinion, much like the win over Marquez being > Pac's win over JMM.
Just my opinion.
I thought the first round was the only one Pacquiao lost.
cotto would have landed less than 100 punches
yeah but floyd wouldn't have landed more punches than cotto, he's too conservative with his offense.
floyd would've scraped by with a SD... he wouldn't put enough pressure to stop cotto.
im a fan of the sport. i call it how i see it. the cotto that fought manny probably woudve been knocked out also. floyd is a cautious guy but he knows when you're hurt and can take you out. cotto would have landed less than 100 punches

the best fight to gage how Floyd would have done would have been the DLH fight. As a matter of fact, Floyd would have been more cautious with Cotto because Cotto ovbiously has faster and heavier hands. Cotto's jab WOULD reach Floyd. Floyd wouldn't have fought any different than he did against Baldomir and DLH
The reason why Manny was able to tag Cotto because Manny took RISKS. He was OFFENSIVE. He took licks to get licks. Floyd fans need to get real.

Fight could go two ways.
1. UD for Mayweather (most likely what would of happened)
2. Cotto would of knocked Floyd out around 6-7 round
^^^^^^^^^^I'll go with this^^^^^^^^^^^^
Floyd fans need to be real. He could have won, but it would have been a cautious display last his last fights at this weight.
Yep, It would be a caution display of counterpunching skills, Cotto wouldnt even take half of the punishment he took against Pac.
that's exactly right, I can't even guarntee Mayweather would have beat Cotto(never showed any interest in facing him, and a year ago was the fight everyone wanted to see), that being said I would have picked Mayweather by decision
he wanted to fight him after he beat gatti
Mayweather wouldn't have given him a beating like Pac did, but he also wouldn't have been beaten up like Pac was at the end of the fight. Mayweather UD over Cotto.
Nope. Styles makes fights.

Floyd POTSHOTS from a defensive stance when attacks. He in no way exchanges or throws combinations. How can anyone say he would have beat Cotto in an exciting manner?
