Who has a better chance of beating Floyd?

i love cotto but i'd have to give margarito a better chance against floyd. but i'd give cotto a 40/60 chance of beating floyd if the ref lets miguel be more "physical". you can't outbox a prime floyd but bigger guys can overpower him if they are willing to take floyd power popshots.

Id say Margarito......

I used to think Floyd would just box him silly for 12 rounds...but now that fight is starting to looking "intersting" and I'll leave it at that.

Cotto has the better chance. Margarito is too slow and Floyd will just pot-shot and move his way to a UD.

Cotto would. Cotto cuts off the ring a lot more easier and has a good jab + body work. He's also faster then Maragrito.

Floyd would beat both of them, but Cotto would put up a much better fight.

Cotto would,Floyd would easily see Margarito's shots coming,and just counter punch him all night,similar to what Clottey did in the first 6 rounds,but worse

Cotto has a decent chance of beating Floyd. Margarito has no chance.

I just want to know. I think Margs has a better chance because of his size and has more power than Cotto. What do you guys think?

i dont see marg any stronger a puncher than odlh, and sure is not faster or bigger. i gotta go wih cotto, but i still favor pbf..

Cotto andits not even close imo. Nothing against Margarito, but his loopng punches and straight ahead pressure wont work against Floyd. They just wont.

Will he fair better than Hatton and Baldomir? Yeah, most likely, but Cotto just matches up a lot better.

antonio is slower and i think cotto beats him head to head.

but against floyd being 3 inches taller and with a longer reach it'll be a lot harder for floyd to jump in and out on antonio than with a 5'7 cotto with a 67 inch reach.

length gives speed problems. that's why everyone thought diego could give floyd a run for his money. too bad chico gives up his height when he fights though.
