    How do you feel about that?
    I think it would be the ultimate test for Floyd, who had trouble with a similar style with Jose Luis Castillo.

      Floyd's alot more stronger now.
      You saw how he was able to outmuscle a Ricky Hatton who was able to outmuscle Jose Luis Castillo in his previous fight.

        That's Ricky Hatton and Castillo, those guys aren't as versatile as Cotto. Cotto can change speeds so well, he moves at a different speed than he punches. Hard to time that. Cotto's problem is that he's a sucker for a straight right hand. That's why I used to think he would get crushed by Kostya Tszyu if they fought when Tszyu was still active.

        I'd say that Cotto would give Mayweather trouble in different areas, not just with strength. He's cagier than he comes off as.

          So do you think would win if Floyd fought Cotto?

            It's hard to pick against Floyd, but it's not as hard when it's Cotto. Cotto is serious work for Mayweather, and if he thought he would win I think the fight would have been made already.

              So deep down inside, you don't think Cotto thinks he's ready yet?

                After this fight on Saturday, my whole perception of Cotto will change for better or worse. If he can handle this assignment, he can handle any assignment.

                The worst scenario, and also the least likely scenario, is that Margarito is able to outbox Cotto lol, which I know it won't be his gameplan but could you imagine if he gave Cotto the business from the outside?

                  Your 15k points would go down the drain.

                  As well as all perception that Margarito doesnt know how to box, which he does.

                    I'm not saying he doesn't know how to box. I'm saying he doesn't box.

                      I meant general perception, I never said you dont think he knows how to box.
