How would Cotto do against Floyd?

[deliveryman]

Cotto would be horrendously outboxed and easily decisioned from consitently beating Cotto to the punch via pot shotting.

You know what Cotto would NOT be able to deal with AT ALL. That straight Right lead. It would tag him all night long.

[Pugilistic™]

cotto would be more effective than hatton. he can box better than hatton and the size difference isn't much between him and mayweather. mayweather would beat him though

People slammed me for saying Floyd has the best right hand in boxing. Hopefully now they realize that a punch doesn't have to be the hardest in order to be the most effective.

So I'll say it again: Floyd Mayweather Jr. has the best right hand in boxing.

Floyd. Easy, sadly.

Floyd Mayweather on that: "I will not let boxing retire me. I will retire boxing"

Besides agreeing with him, i also think he has nothing more to prove and can retire. Cotto would get the same treat as Hatton did with the differences already mentioned. Could even score a KO. Most people see Mayweather at 154 but at 147 he has good powershots. How many of us expected Hatton to be Knocked the **** out? I didn't. Cotto has a weaker chin. As a fan i'm relaxed because Mayweather is smart. Outsmarted Ricky's management. Ricky said "I expected him to slow down but he didn't (...) He got me."

Cotto would get out boxed, out pointed and KO'd in 6ntless because hatton is much more relentless in his style

Floyd would win on UD no doubt i generally believe Floyd is one of the top 5 P4P fighters ever.

I personally believe he is the 2nd best fighter of all time behind Duran.

And i reckon if Floyd goes and fights and outclasses which he will Cotto and Mosley he is the greatest of all time.

Cotto isn't as much of a pressure fighter as Ricky. So I think Mayweather would have more space to operate which would be to his advantage. I would favor Mayweather but not count out Cotto.

Good point, Cotto would apply pressure, but yeah, he probably wouldn't close the gap as quickly as Ricky. Cotto's pressure would be in the form of hard body shots though.
