I think it would be a tough fight for Floyd but Floyd's toughness is underrated. He'll give and take (see Corley, Chavez, Burton) but his punches get a lot harder when he's putting full force into them. He nearly dropped Oscar in the fifth with two beautiful counters. I don't see Cotto standing up to that but I do think he'd make Floyd squirm.
    Cotto is much bigger and hits much harder than the guys you mentioned. Mayweather doesn't like a fight he likes to counter and throw as little as possible. Cotto can take whatever Mayweather can dish out but I don't think Mayweather would like the pressure Cotto would put on him.

      Agree, he has some power but is nothing like these nuthuggers make it out to be. I don't think that at this stage of his career Floyd has the heart or desire to get in to a fight that will truly challenge his skills.

        You can't have it both ways, telling me Cotto hits harder than Chavez, etc and the like without mentioning Floyd hits much harder than Torres, Corley and the rest of the guys that had Cotto on ***** street.

          At 140 and those were the only two that hurt him, Plasterito doesn't count. What you conviniently don't metion is the fact that Corley also hurt Mayweather. I don't think Floyd hits harder than Torres or Plasterito with plaster in his gloves.

            Those weren't the only two that hurt him those were the only two that had him seriously, seriously hurt. In a way that Floyd has never been. face it, Floyd takes a punch better. And him getting hurt by Corley doesn't mean Corley is a bigger puncher than him. He's not.

              How is MAB IS SMALL COMPARED TO Corrales

              Corrales stands at 5'10 and outweighed Mayweather by 10 pounds

              Pacman outweighed MAB and is Taller

                True, Cotto doesn't have Hagler's chin. He seems to be looking sturdier at 147 though.

                  Corrales kept walking into Floyd's punches all night. Just like Gatti. I'm not saying Floyd doesn't have power because I think it is underrated a lot on here. All I'm saying is that wearing down Corrales and Gatti doesn't mean Floyd is a big puncher.

                    Corrales had no option but to walk to Mayweather punches that his style. He loves fighter that come forward. In that fight their were single punches that knocked down Corrales. He hand Hatton hurt bad with one straight right hand in the 4th and Oscar hurt a few times.

                    Again it's not Mayweather style to go for killer blow but slowing does his damage

                      Other than those two Judah is the only one who stunned him but he wasn't even close to beign on ***** street. Floyd hasn't taken on good punchers at 140 and above for me to judge how he takes punches. And I never said that Corley is a bigger puncher than Floyd, but Torres is. Cotto would make Floyd fight and I have no doubt that he would stop him.
