    The bold really invalidated your whole post to me even though I read the whole thing. Cotto is not that much better than Castillo was when he was at his best. Those people you named are not even in PBF's league when at their best.

      Cotto is a bull though...he'll come foward all night...but at the end of the SSM fight he showed a weakness that we never seen in Cotto.

      I think the diffrence in this fight will be Floyds defense....Cottos never seen anything like it..he was landing on Shane and Zab at will...those same punches will be hard to find against Mayweather.
      funny that you said that because I didn't even see your post and I was saying the same thing about his speed and accuracy. That has been one of his biggest weapons his whole career. WHen looking at final punch stats numbers, his percentages are a lot higher than his opponents. He doesn't throw like a Paul Williams, but the shots that he throws land.

        Malignaggi is closer to Camacho to me than PBF when comparing styles. I admit that I have not seen a great deal of Camacho's fights but the ones I have seen Malignaggi is closer to that than PBF.

          Castillo is different from Cotto. Castillo has several losses already when he was even in his prime. You forgot that Quintana and Malignaggi tried to outbox Cotto, but it didn't work.. Quintana outbox Williams and sends him to school.. As I said you are right that they are not on PBF's league defensively.. Cotto's body punching is very unpredictable, more stronger than Floyd and knows how to beat slick and speed fighters.. Until the fight is not yet made, we'll never know since Floyd is ducking him.. Cotto's body punching and jab cannot be exposed because he know's how to land it accurately.

            Read what I am typing. I agree Cotto is better than Castillo. What I said was that Cotto is not that much better than Castillo when Castillo is at his best. Quintana and Malignaggi are no where near PBF in anything that has to do with boxing. Williams was overrated and didn't know how to use his advantages. Williams is a 6'2" fighter who doesn't fight tall or throw an authoritative jab. I wouldn't say Cotto's body punching is unpredictable. I would say that no matter what he is going to throw to the body which makes sense to me.

            With the bold are you saying that Cotto is smarter in the ring than PBF? Do you feel Cotto will be able to make more adjustments during the fight than PBF?

              Would you stop with the Floyd is ducking him crap..jesus this is boxing man...let Cotto build his name up knock out some more people....then Floyd will fight him...GOD!!!

              If I had a picture of Mayweather and a picture of Cotto..just face shots..I bet barely anyone will know who he is.

                Let's face it, both guys have never faced a fighter like one another. You can compare this guy and that guy, but at the end of the day those two have never faced each other's styles before, that's why it's an intriguing fight and the most hyped fight in years.

                Mayweather's very good in the pocket, but so is Cotto (especially against the ropes). Cotto's jab will be a main factor setting up his combos and body punches. Floyd's defense may work in the beginning, but I don't think he can frustrate Cotto like he did with De la Hoya. Cotto has a lot of tricks most Cotto haters don't even mention (i.e Southpaw switchin where he's always effective and his sneaky right hands that come in the pocket).

                Most guys that have faced Mayweather try to rush getting past Floyd's defense. Like someone else said on here, Floyd is hittable. But Floyd has the ability to change his game plan during the mid point of a fight, as does Cotto.

                After Floyd's fight with Oscar, the demand will be at an all time high for a Cotto vs Mayweather showdown. If the fight isn't made anytime next year and he decides to fight Hatton again, you better believe they're going to crown Cotto as #1 WW.

                  They'll fight one day...........

                  Cotto is wasting his time withgomez..he should be trying to unify.
