    i think mayweather would pick his shots, cotto wouldn't find floyd, now i dont see floyd knocking cotto out but i can see it the other way around

      the thing is, i honestly dont think mosley is more powerful than pbf, his power hasnt carried over that well to welterweight or junior middle, i know it sounds crazy, but looking at his record, most of his credible knockouts not named vargas were from 135.

        its pbfs accuracy that makes his punches hard... he hits you on the button, he hits you perfect...

        its like i said before... its like golf... you dont need to crush the ball to have a successful swing....

        its not his weight or his size... his accuracy makes the punches count

          If we set up a poll for this fight I think Cotto would get pwned in the polls...just a hunch

            Oh, I agree I dont think Mosley has incredible power either but I believe he has more than PBF at WW because I believe he has more fully grown into WW than PBF has.

            But do you not believe that at WW, Judah is the more powerful puncher?

                2. The reason I brought up Miguel's weight and length of time at 147 is because of the fact that if Floyd would've taken this fight 6 months ago and won, people who dislike him would be calling Cotto "just another blown up JWW". Those terms are ****** and I wish people would stop using them. If Cottos only place in the record books is as "just another fighter that Floyd ducked", then that kinda proves that he is not that guy. The point is, there is always a Cotto out there. The fact that Paul Williams has JUST stepped onto the scene, and now people are saying Floyd is ducking him is rock solid proof of that. I like Williams and picked him to punish Margo, but the kid was just on Friday Night Fights last year, let's be real.

                Floyd beating Miguel Cotto won't prove anything other than that he could beat Cotto.His legacy is intact, whatever he decides to do from here on out.
                I've been pointing out the same thing to closed ears.

                He already did! There's a poll already. It got bumped down a few pages.

                  Yo SonofIsis, just admit it, Cotto is not black enough for you. Personally, I think Cotto's record is already more impressive than Hopkins beating on little men. When he stepped to Taylor he got EXPOSED.... Hopkins is a con man... a thug would be chronic convict who found an easier way to make a living in boxing.

                    Talking about Cotto beating washed up people?

                    Don't even start with me.

                    Whos Floyds best win?

                    Overated Ricky Hatton? No wait... Arturo Gatti? Carlos Baldimir? ooh yea because he beat Judah?

                    Ni99a please.

                    Miguel Cotto = Legit threat to anyone

                    Reason why Cotto fought Mosley now is because he had to work his way up, and this year was that time. Why didn't Floyd fight him? OOOOKKK then.

                      That's the ****tiest lie I've ever seen. The only comparable punch to that was from Corley who almost knocked his head off his shoulders. That was one of the best left hooks of all time.



                      That bull**** punch was too inside and was smothered. Plus it wasn't directly on Cotto's chin and slid off a bit. It was not a perfect punch and Zab is not as accurate as Floyd. Not to mention that Judah almost took his head off too, it isn't like he didn't low blow the **** out of him twice afterwards.



                      Mosley's punches were on the side of the head and also slid off. Most were looping overhands. Even ask Hatton who said that Mayweather wasn't his most powerful opponent, but he was accurate!


                      I'd never do that, but Cotto's chin isn't exactly made out of iron and Floyd doesn't exactly hit like a *****, contrary to previo0us belief, and accuracy>>power.



                      Exactly...
                      How am I lying? That counter uppercut that Cotto was caught with was a CLEAN shot. Cotto didn't go down. That shot would've dropped Hatton cold.
