    Love the irony, no? They will learn the truth when the time comes. I hope I get my points back before then.

      Floyd won't face Cotto. He knows theres a great risk at that, and doesn't take risks. He faced Hatton to say he beat a pressure fighter. Well yeah, an ineffective pressure fighter at 147lbs. That was made clear when Hatton fought Collazo. Floyd just hopes nobody remembers that fight and instead remembered Hatton was an undefeated guy that could bring big crowds. That sure sells and would pocket him the most money. But for all the real boxing purists, we know who would really give Floyd hell, and that's Miguel Cotto.

            yup.i mean when was floyd's first ppv?when he was 28 years old vs gatti,with gatti he did 300,000 plus.
            miguel's was when he was 26.

            they talk about cotto's win vs judah in regard to how he could deal with some one as skilled as judah,no one gives floyd credited cause they all ready knew.floyd's test was castillo cotto's was judah.

              Floyd would beat the **** out of Hatton at any weight. And he'd beat Cotto once he gets off his vacation. Cotto barely beat over the hill Shane Mosley. Floyd is better than Shane and is still in his prime.

                  I would favor cotto plain and simple Cotto fights for his people, his country, his name in boxing history on the other hand Floyd fights for money. Money Money the root to all evil and the root to his death.
                  Every boxer Cotto has faught against leaves the ring in pain, bruised or damaged. Floyd will leave the ring with bruises, cheek bone or ribs broken. No way he can fight cotto like he faught Oscar or for that matter the last 5 fighters he has faced, if he does he loses.

                    I'd disagree with that. I felt Cotto won 7 rounds against Shane while Floyd won 8 against Oscar. And that doesn't mean **** being that Oscar is bigger than Floyd and Floyd beat him without throwing any combinations.
