Who would have a better chance to beat Floyd?

Cotto, more speed and skill would cause Floyd to have to work a bit more.

Thanks for agreeing!..

although it's alot closer than I woulda thought...

I wrote my explanation in another thread.

The gist of it was that Mayweather has shown more vulnerability against pressure fighters than boxer-punchers. I pick Margarito, because his stamina will make him more dangerous than the pressure fighter that gave Mayweather the most trouble, Castillo.

Muy bueno posto....good post!

Miguel Cotto, he is a better all around fighter compared to Margarito, he has the skills and adjustments to get the UD from Floyd. Because when fighting Floyd you can't just go there and fight with one style, he would have to make adjustments to confuse Floyd and Cotto is more capable of doing that. He also has great momentum and accuracy that would help him with a hit and run fighter like Floyd.

But I still give him next to no chance against Floyd

The only way Floyd would have lost to either of these guys is with a broken hand or messed up shoulder

You have to admit Cotto does have the tools to pull off the win, he just has to use them correctly.

I think i will go with Margarito based on him being the bigger guy and he probably will not stop comming through 12 rounds, although i think Floyd could frusterate him. I think Floyd would actually fight Margarito more then people think, he would do ok on the inside (inside Margarito's wide shot and tie him up when he is done) or on the outside where he could outbox him and make Margaito follow him eatting lead rights. Margarito has a chance because he is strong and when Floyd tries to tie up Margarito could push him off and get him in the middle range for his own power shots. Also it is possible for Margarito to outwork Floyd. I do not really like his chances but i can see why he has a shot.

Cotto is the more skilled fighter but he is not winning a boxing match with Mayweather and there is no way Cotto would fight him like that. He would have to come after Floyd but the question is how much leather he could actually land while Floyd would be landing clean shots. Floyd Mayweather is a dangerous man when he is forced to fight. It would be a very interesting fight though, I just do not think Cotto could get it done over 12 rounds barring some kind unforseen problem for Floyd

It is hard to ascertain how any fighter would do against Floyd without seeing them actually fight him, because there is no basis for comparision because no one fights like Floyd Mayweather. Floyd is great at ****ing up others styles making people do what they do not want to do.

Who would have a better chance to beat Mayweather now, Margarito or Cotto. Even if you think neither guy would beat him, vote for who you think would have a better chance of pulling off the upset.

Margarito, because he has incredible stamina and a rock solid chin. Plus, he's a big welterweight and stronger than Cotto. I have seen Cotto fade late against Mosley and Margarito. If he tired against Mayweather it would be a pot shot fest for Mayweather because Floyd does not tire. Say what you want, but Mayweather has incredible conditioning.
