    In saying that, will this fight even happen??? Probably not for another year or so...
    first post and you are talking about is chin being suspect. i have never seen cotto get knock down.

      agreed, i dont think he could beat floyd yet.

      but i dont think cotto has chin issue's, he took 11 rounds of being hit with plaster.

        Mayweather and JMM have never been KO'd!!!!!


        Migkneel was KO'd less than a year ago and he has no business in this discussion whatsoever.

            Why bring this up again? These two guy were not that interested in fighting other. Fans of Cotto wanted the fight more than Cotto. And fans of Floys SHOULD want the fight because it would nip a lot of criticism in the bud. Fact is that you can't blame just Mayweather for the fight not going down, you can blame them both.

              Floyd better fight Cotto if Cotto beats Clottey.

              If Floyd beats JMM and then goes after Pac...fine. But if he beats those two, I want to see him fight Cotto.

              All this bs that Cotto doesn't sell only carries so far.


              If Floyd wants to say he fights for Money only, and not legacy...I'm cool with that. But just admit it and I don't want to hear him calling himself the greatest and all this bs.

              I like Floyd but there is only so much he can get away with.

              JMM
              Pac
              Cotto
              Shane

              That's the list I want to see as long as the opponents listed continue to win.

                Cotto already beat Shane but I hear you. Losing to Margarito, plaster or not, may have taken a hit to Cotto's standings. So, a fight against Shane again would be good considering Shane is coming off a big win against Margarito and the first fight between Shane and Cotto was very close.

                Floyd should fight the winner which could setup nicely.

                Floyd fights Pac at the end of the year (if he gets by JMM and so can Cotto against Shane (if Cotto gets past Clottey).

                  He might not have been knocked down, but i've seen him rocked before with shots Hatton could withstand. If he gets into that state, theres no doubt Mayweather will finish him off., in a quick way too.

                    when you get to floyds level of the game you don't fight for bragging rights.. what is cotto's legacy at 147 what has he done in that division to be considered a bigtime fighter.

                    cotto was on the rioght path but the wins against zab and shane were all smoke and mirrors lets see what cotto can do against mosely in the rematch and then you can start talking like cotto is a force at 147 because right now he isn't

                      ricardo torres scored a knockdown on cotto.

                      and recently, margarito knocked cotto down.
