    I read in other Boxing Sites like yahoo sports and ESPN that they will dropped Floyd at the end of the year as the best P4P if Joe and Pac dominates at the end of the year.. Cotto is the best Welterweight right now, Cotto's body punching will hit Floyd's body.. Cotto is smart and knows how to adjust and land his bodyshots and jab accurately.. Cotto already proves that he can beat slick and speed fighters .

    Since Floyd is a coward and ducks him too much, I don't expect anything right now. He wants a washed up Oscar and a 140pounder Hatton..

      Well i think that Maywether has what it takes to beat Cotto and almost every oponent that you put in front of him, but also Cotto has enough skills to grab a win in this fight. Styles makes fights and Cotto has in his resume a lot of skills that for some reason are the only weaknees of Floyd. Not other fighter has a specific tool box desing for Mayweather. The two of them has what it takes to beat one another, so maybe the diference will be in the tecnical strategy practice and how they implemented in the fight and very important how mentally strong and confident they are in themselfs. I assure you that the two of them will have his bright moment in the fight so is very important that the other fighter mantain calm and make the correct adjusments too overturn the fight. In this area i think Cotto has and advantage over Floyd. Because Floyd has never been tested not because bad oponents he has just been too good to the oposition but thats until know. He will be tested like any other moment in his carrer. Cotto has a solid jab,( very underrated by the way), Great power in both hands, A master of body punching, he is a southpow fighting orthodox so he can change easily in the middle of the fight like nothing happens. He can cut the ring very well, decent hands speed, Can box backward( see the Mosley fight), Decent defensive skills, He can adapt in the middle of a fight, he puts an inteligent preasure, mentally strong, confident in himself, calm when things are not in his way( he avoid errors by this). I think by mentioned all this is very clear that he has what it takes to beat Mayweather. But Mayweather also, so the diference will be in who of them recognized the weakneess of the other and how they recognized in their respectives skills the specific tools needed to beat the other. Later we can talk of Floyds abilities to beat Cotto i dont metioned because the thread is asking how Cotto beats Mayweather. But offcourse we can discuss this later.

        I don't think he will but it will still be a great fight. The only way I see Cotto winning is by KO.

                Cottos boxer puncher style is catered to a counter puncher like Floyd. Plus floyd lets his opponents get rest in between exchanges.

                look if Ricky Hatton can find Floyd and hit him to the body and head like he did . Imagine a stronger quicker way more polished and skilled fighter. Floyd really doesnt have the strength or power to muscle Cotto or knock him out.

                Floyd cant run all day against Cotto cause that plays right into his style when fighting in the corner and against the ropes. Cotto will destroy Floyds body and eventually put him down.

                Slow Castillo got the better of Floyd plenty of times imagine Miguel Cotto.

                  First off Cotto will never beat Floyd for the fact that Floyd wont fight em.

                    1. Hatton never hurt Floyd with anything...his body work did nothing
                    2. He didn't run against DLH or Hatton so idk bout that bull****
                    3. Floyd protects his body well...wat fight did he get beat up to the body in?
                    4. Castillo lost a close fight to Floyd 7-8 years ago...in which Floyd was injured.
                    5. Your a P.Will nuthugger so I understand ur bull****...
