      He's a great fighter so it doesn't mean nothing, but Floyd is too big, too fast and too good defensively, for it to mean a whole lot, him beating a good small man.

        It's another big name on his ledger. I say it gives Floyd more hall of fame credentials, but his biggest wins are forthcoming.

              because cotto isn't a bonafide HOFer.

              p4p JMM > Cotto, but that's not to say that jmm will present more problems for floyd than cotto.

              I'd rather see floyd vs. cotto / mosley, but I gotta admit that JMM is better than Cotto p4p.

                What about when he beats Clottey? You dont think it he would be more than worthly to face PBF over JMM...?

                In my eyes JMM is getting old and when he gets beat by PBF it will in turn be used agasint the win. I think a solid win over Cotto or Mosley would do more for him IMO.

                    hell ya it does. JMM is p4p #2 in the world. this fight definitley enhances his legacy.

                      It all depends on the weight. If it's at 140 it will be epic. If it's at 147 it will be dominent performance for Floyd so it won't mean ****. If Floyd wants this fight to matter he better agree to a catch weight so it's fair for both sides. I really don't undersatnd if you are P4P the best why do need it to be so unfair for you're opponent? If he was a true P4P fighter he would'nt care about advantages. If he were true P4P he would give the advantages to the opponent and still dominate, but he's not and he won't.
