    Here's the difference in the WW division. Cotto breaks them down and Mayweather Jr..

    pop shots around. PLease stop with all this Cotto ONLY has power over Floyd. He doesnt always knock him out with one shot, he breaks them down most times. He's a better fighter then Floyd...He doesnt throw one shot and grab...if you back him to the ropes he actually fights is way off throwing combos.

        I wouldn't go as far as sayin Cotto is a more "skilled" fighter than Floyd. But being a great skilled fighter doesn't guarantee victory if put up against a conflicting style (which I believe Cotto has).

        A lot of Floyd fans compare Cotto's pressure to Hatton, which is blasphemy. Hatton swings away as Cotto is more patient and will find the opening and land those shots to the body, the arms, shoulder, etc (which a lot of people don't take into consideration as far as breaking an opponent down). Also, Cotto has learned to adjust as he did with Mosley when Mosley became the hunter in the later rounds and Cotto kept countering him with the left hook and straight right hand.

        Floyd's camp knows Cotto is a totally different animal than Hatton.

          Cotto only has more power than Floyd. When they fight let's bet that you leave the site if Cotto loses and I will leave if Floyd loses, ok?

            See thats the stuff that makes me mad. You say stuff like that without telling the whole story. We all know Cotto has always been a WW even when he was at 140, while Floyd started down at 130 and moved up unaturally. The guy went to 5 weight classes in a 5 and a half year span. Its never been heard of in many many many years. He's always fighting guys who are much bigger then him.

            Its so not fair to compare what Cotto does to Floyd when Cotto is always the bigger guy and in alot of cases he's the much bigger guy. Besides, people always make it sound like Floyd just pot shots. He did it against Oscar & Baldy and thats it. Its no coincedence that those 2 guys were the biggest guys he's ever fought. You think Floyd wasnt doing his thing at 130 against guys his own size? What about guys at all the other weight divisons who were his size or just a little bigger? He went toe to toe with all of them. If you think Cotto is a better boxer then your crazy. Lets see Cotto do 5 divisions in 5 years. Lets see how break down the guys like Pavlik, Winky, Taylor, Hopkins, and Calzaghe. Its a different ball game so stop copmaring what they do when Cotto hasnt had to go through that kind of stuff. He's never been a much smaller man in the ring

                Floyd has went on the record to say that he will fight anyone up to 154. Lets not make the size of his opponents an issue now. If he doesnt have a problem with it, why should his fans?

                  And he wont be able to break Floyd down, Mosley is the best guy Cotto has fought lets not forget. The reason I dont talk about this fight anymore is that ill let people ***** about Floyd as much as they want and praise Cotto, but when this fight happens and Cotto gets beaten I will bump all the threads.
