    One of those decisions is considered to be among the bad ones in the sport (the rematch).

    Styles make fights.

    Mosley barely edged Oscar, just like Cotto barely edged Mosley. Hardly anything definitive to suggest that Cotto can **** Oscar up.

    Oscar is bigger than Mosley too by the way. He definately would not be hurt in that fight against Cotto.

    Like I said, I think Cotto beats Oscar... I just think of everyone on Floyd's resume, Oscar has the best chance of beating him.

      6 divisions huh?

      Is it tradition in Puerto Rico to have your star move up too many times so they ruin their career?

        There is something to be said for being in your prime.

        Castillo was a badass at 135. He definately has a credible argument for topping Mosley at 147.

        I think Corrales was not at his weight though Gomez... he was dried out like a 70 year old **** when he fought Mayweather.

          Cotto only moved up one divsion, unlike Mayweather, Mosley and De
          La Hoya posing as Lightweights.

            Eh', I wouldn't go that far. I think obviously Corrales body lends itself to 135 better, but he wasn't so strained at making weight at that time that it was a problem or something that diminished his skills in the ring.

              Yes, but you said he was too powerful and that he could move up 6 divisions.

              Do you think Trinidad was particularly powerful, even at 160?

              Cotto won't be able to punch hard at 160, much less at light heavyweight.

                He also had some **** going on in his life at the time.

                But to be honest, I don't think any of it would have made a difference. His follow around, no ring cutting off style, is literally perfect for Floyd. We've heard "perfect for Floyd" about a million times, but I think Coralles fits that description about as well as anyone could fit a description.

                  Trinidad hit like a beast at 160. I know it took a thousand shots to take out Mayorga, but Mayorga's chin is amazing.

                    I personally think Mayweather is gonna beat Cotto in a good scrap, I think alex De Jesus has more a chance against Mayweather if he was a Welterweight. Cotto to me hasnt been the same for awhile, hes just 27 so he can change tho. It gets harder once you reach Middleweight, because thats a naturel build.

                      We're talking about a 21 year old Cotto.
