    great point. zab and shane may hit harder than floyd and zab may even throw his power punches quicker and with more aggression, but overall, floyd is faster and can utilize his punchers far better than shane and zan can. floyd is an elusive fighter, which means he does everything well, maybe not the fastest puncher or hardest puncher, but the most elusive fighter. he doesn't foucs on just being a hrd puncher or fast puncher, his whole style is just better than the rest. he knows how to make adjustments at all times, no matter the round. floyd is also a smarter fighter than zab and shane who would lose to floyd also. floyd's foundation is his eyes, he can see most of everything around him while he's throing punches, blocking or avoiding punches. he has eyes like a cat and is just as methodical with his overall movement as a cat is. cotto would have nightmares with floyd, not the other way around. floyd is just too good for cotto, who is a strong fighter like i've said so many times, and he is mehodical in a way but only when he's in control. floyd can turn the tides of a fight at any time. he spars with big middleweight and super middleweights, so cotto's power won't be overwhelming to floyd, especially with floyd being the best defensive fighter in the sport. floyd is just too good for miguel, point blank.

      i highly doubt that would happen. Cotto has one of the smartest corner's in boxing. They know that Cotto can't out box Floyd so they will tell him to bring the heat and pressure on Floyd and back him up. he would give Floyd hell if not pull out a close disputed decision. I cant see Cotto being dominated and toyed with by anyone.

        pretty much slick
        they said that's what judah would do,what mosley would do,do i think cotto just out right just beats his ass no,i see this 50 50 ,with cotto beating floyd
        even more impressively than castillo,[whether you think he won or not is your opinion and the opinion of the jugdes]floyd has never been threw hell for a full twelve rounds,cotto,has been threw hell and back,and im sure he ain't afraid to take floyd there.

          Might have problems with Williams. But he would probably beat him, close fight though.

          Honestly, I think Floyd will beat Cotto pretty good. Will Mosley was playing it safe he seemed to do better. That and two things. Cotto seems weak to the uppercut and the overhand right. Mayweather has a decent uppercut, but his Right hand is just brutal. I think Cotto takes the shots up all night. HOWEVER, Cotto had very great speed and a great jab in the early rounds against Mosley and if he sticks with that I can see him beating Mayweather in still a close fight..

              The only guys I know Cotto has a chance against are an old ODLH and an aging drunk in Hatton. Hatton fought pretty evenly with the skilled Collazo and I think Hatton is better than Cotto anyway. Witter's handspeed, unorthodox style, evasive/defensive style, and his power will definetly put cotto away early. Clottey's clamshell defense and great conditioning will prove to bedevil Cotto through the later rounds.By Time Cotto get's around to fighting Berto, Berto will hold some kind of belt and be a real challenge for anyone to beat. He doesn't have a chance in hell of beating PBF the closest man to do it is JLC who was twice the fighter Cotto will ever be. IDK about Mayorga though, the Mayorga that fought Forrest will school cotto, but the one that fought Trinidad, ODLH, and Spinks get's Ko'd early.PBF, Marg, and Paul are all outta the question, Cotto will definetly lose to them.

                  Only people on that list who I'm confident Cotto can beat is Witter and Collazo.. I also give an edge to Mayweather and Williams, as far as who I'm confident can beat him..

                      LAME and you know it. His opinion is just that, his opinion and I have no problem with it. You should know you have to PROVE you are the best in the world and Miguel still has plenty to prove. Hell Floyd still has plenty to prove but him being the best right and now is already a given.
