Who would give Floyd a tougher fight, Mosley or Cotto?

[Gareth Ivanovic]

I've always thought that Shane might be the only guy that could beat Mayweather. He matches up in the athletic ability department and also comes close in the speed and movement department. Cotto even though he is physical and tough would get outboxed by Mayweather like he does everybody else. Mosely would have a shot because he would let his hands go a lot more and he probably learned from the DLH fight in how to attack Mayweather.

Mosley or Cotto in your opinion. I'd have to go with Mosley. Cotto's strong and loves to fight just like Mosley but has many weaknesses. Shane doesn't have superb defense either and throws wild shots leaving himself open. Obviously Cotto is younger. Shane faster. Shane moves a lot so I think Floyd can't just sit back and counter all night and win. He would have to come forward and test those hands. Miguel's handspeed isn't all that, but he is pretty strong. He won't get Floyd in the corner and just hammer him like against Judah, who threw nothing back. But anyway who would u pick to give Floyd a tougher fight or attempt to defeat him.

tough one man.but i think mosleys combination of speed,experience and ring savvy make him slightly tougher..PBF beats them both though in my opinion.

I'm sorry. I am having trouble viewing either of these guys as a formidable opponent.

Shane has been reduced to a sparring partner, for goodness sakes. And from what I saw, not a very good one. It takes more than being able to mimic a Floyd Mayweather because he fights mentally, as well as physically. Shane is no longer in his prime. What he was, he is not anymore and his agility would not outshine Floyd's. Shane is no match.

And Cotto, please. This dude would be picked a part by Mayweather and everyone knows it. He's terrible with defense and wild with little control IMO. He's not precise which is precisely why a fight against Mayweather would embarass him. May haters would dog Floyd for evading because he would barely get hit and barely have to throw any punches to land enough accurately and powerfully to get a win by UD.

It would be just another boring Floyd victory.

I think Cotto has the beating of Floyd! Yeah thats right!
Mosley i could see just loseing a razor tight decision to Mayweather but a Mosley Cotto fight would be the best and i can see Shane winning im afraid to say! That said i can also make a good case for Cotto to win that! Im not sure!
