Would Mayweather/Cotto have been diff pre Margarito 1

It would have been at 147, which is a power and speed advantage for Floyd (vs fighting at 154, not vs Cotto). Floyd would have ud'd him even cleaner.

If Diaz was training him the whole time, he probably would have been more active in the rounds that he needed to. When he didn't step up his pressure on the 9th round when it was clear that Mayweather was taking some heat, I knew that Mayweather would recover and escape with the win. I think the Cotto of old would have went through brim and fire and throw them bombs to put Mayweather down. Cotto had a golden opportunity in the 9th and he let it slip away.

Worse. 119-109 type fight

Cotto came back stronger after that experience. I think it fired him up in a way that wouldn't have happened had he not received that beat down.

what he said: as many know top rank past this fight up before when both mayweather and cotto were TOP RANK fighters then tried to pursue it when they knew mayweather was retiring and whilst they were not working with GBP

You mean when Mayweather was younger and faster? Yeah, I suppose it would have been a shutout then. He would have been and it's possible the fight would have been a cakewalk for him but it's also possible cotto would of made it a little harder of a fight. I lean towards it being a little easier for May but I'm not sure

Floyd would not have even touched the ropes and Cotto would have won about 2 rounds instead of the 3 he did.
