    That wasn't the point, you said that Judah hurt Cotto which proves nothing since he also hurt Mayweather. Cotto would beat Mayweather because his style is suited for Boxers, being hurt in past fights means nothing since the times he has been hurt it has been against fighters who come forward, not runners like Mayweather.
    That is calling being stunned not hurt. When you are hurt you hands are down usually and have troubled walking and you are confused. Mayweather was hit few steps back and was perfect again. Hurt is Quitto vs Corley. What boxer good as Mayweather did Cotto fight and had the defence and timing of Mayweather?? Past his prime Mosley or Judah???

Best performance was against Judah after Kostya and Mayweather done with him and those low blows did affect him. Or was it a fight against Mosley past his prime and which it was an extremely close fight. Mayweather would handle Cotto speed with ease and his power shot woldn’t be able to faze Mayweather. Mayweather nearly knocked down Oscar in that gif, Oscar just hanged on to Mayweather or he would have fell.
      He has stamina and chin than Cotto but to say that Mayweather could stop Cotto is not possible. If Judah can hurt Mayweather so can Cotto, since Cotto lands better punches than Judah and has more power than Judah. Cotto fought a past his prime Mosley but that's the same as Mayweather fighting Oscar which was a closer fight than the Cotto vs. Mosley fight.

        Judah barely knocked down Mayweather his gloves barely touched the gloves. Quitto would have to be chasing Mayweather all day long. Judah one of the fastest fighter today only connected 17% of his punches; I don’t think Quitto would do any better. Mayweather has no problems with fighter his size. Bigger fighters who are relentless and fats most likely will beat him not Quitto.
        I think you just undermined your own credibility, there's an actual replay by HBO of that round where you can clearly see Mayweather touching the canvas with his glove. However, it would still have been a flash knock down.

        Comparing Judah and Cotto to make a predicition can't be based on anything, two completely different fighters. If we would compare skills Judah would be beating most WWs only because he is in fact one of the most gifted fighters even today, he just doesn't have the heart and focus to match.

        I think Cotto would still have the best chance of defeating Mayweather simply because he's an all round skilled boxer/puncher. The only way to defeat Cotto so far seems to be by hurting him and Cotto has faced much bigger punchers than Mayweather. Cotto would actually be able to pressure Mayweather and adapt throughout the fight.

        If Williams were to fight Mayweather I think it would be an easy fight for Mayweather as well. Quintana basically boxed and circled this guy and got the decision. Mayweather has a lot more in his bag of tricks and I think would put on a boxing clinic.

          Paulie Malignaggi, he is always running backward like Mayweather, another example of Cotto's style being perfect against boxers just like the Mosley and Judah fights, except that Judah could also brawl but went backwards in the Cotto fight. Cotto wasn't that hurt against Corley, and you really can't compare Cotto at 140 to Cotto at 147 in 140 Cotto was dehydrated whereas in 147 Cotto is at the top of his game, so being hurt with Corley at 140 means nothing. I ask you what fighter has Mayweather fought that has had the strength, heart and determination that Cotto has??

          By the way: I'm not comparing Paulie with Mayweather. It was just an example of how Cotto's style can beat boxers.

              Jose Luis Castillo
              Jesus Chavez
              Diego Corrales
              Hearts and courage doesn’t always win, mostly yes not always.

              Holyfield had way more heart than Bowe but Bowe was too good.
              Like Mayweather sed 39 had heart and 39 come up short.

                Cotto is more like Castillo and Castillo in the eyes of many defeated him in the first fight, in the rematch no but in the first fight yeah. If Catillo can do what he did to Mayweather and Cotto is a better version of Castillo, imagine what Cotto could do.

                  Lose like he did against Mayweather. Please don’t get into that argument I thought he won. A lot of people thought Mosley won and Judah was affected by those low blows. It doesn’t work like that.

                    I'm just saying that Cotto is a better version of Castillo and he would pull of the win against Mayweather, something Castillo couldn't do. Cotto would beat Mayweather, why do you think Mayweather hasn't faced him yet?

                      He has lost interested in the sport. Mayweather wanted to retire ages ago before the Hatton and De La Hoya fight.After the Bladomir fight he said he would retire after his next fight which was Oscar De La Hoya, only come back for Hatton for the money and also was a mandatory for Mayweather if he wanted to continued fighting and kept the title. Why didn't Cotto want to fight at 140.
