Something Floyd lacked and now in recent times shows no sign of havng. the guy is done with boxing hes back because hes been outshined and forgotten about. His big mouth is gonna run him into the long awaited loss hes destined to have.
    is that the ONLY reason you watch him?

      If Zab could find Mayweathers chin im sure Shane and Cotto wouldnt have a problem. Bodywork wuld be the key like the castillo fight. Floyd rolls and exposes his body which fall into both shane and Cottos arsenal.
      So your saying that them two will find Floyd easy to hit despite the other 39 finding it hard? In the Castillo fight he was younger, he is now more experienced and learned a lot from that fight... the Castillo fight cannot judge what Cotto can do.

      Zab is amazingly quick, quicker than them 2 that's why he found his chin... believe me them two will find Floyd much harder to hit than there other opponents.

        No Shane has been hit because his defense isn't that good and he neglects it. Mayorga was givin him problems. And he isn't a very good pure boxer. Shane and Floyd are very different.

        Like RJJ, Shane's defense is mainly his reflexes. Mayweather uses his reflexes along with the shoulder roll and at times keeping his hands high while fighting.

            Floyd is way too feather fisted to make enough damage and stop Cotto from moving foward. Once Cotto takes a punch from Floyd and sees they do nothing to him he will start putting a big assault on Floyd that would see Floyd hit the canvas a clouple of times before he stays down for good.

            Cotto wins by Ko
            I think that you are REALLY underrating his power. He may NOT be a KO artist, but when you match SPEED with ACCURACY those punches are hard.

              Mayweather doesn't throw many punches but has better defense than Mosley, he will find him much harder to his... Mayweather is smarter than Mosley and extremely accurate and will capitalize on every opening and mistake Cotto makes. Cotto's defense is kinda underrated like Floyd's power, but it still isn't great and he has a tendency to get caught.

              I just feel Cotto will keep chasing him and Floyd will keep countering him, I think over this time Cotto will tire and Mayweather will keep working on him and picking him off, eventually winning a decision.

              That's just my opinion anyway...
              Mayweathers "ring intelligence" is overrated Mosley has fought too many varied dangerous opponents to not be able to adjust better than Mayweather.

              As for Mayweathers defense, You have to throw punches to win the fight , yea Cotto might miss here and there but I gaurantee he will feel body shots and end up getting caught in small exchanges losing most of the time. Ending the bout in a KO. Cottos power and countering ability is what Mayweather doesnt want to deal with. Cotto best fights were against boxers

                doesnt matter, mosley's right hand is a whole lot stronger than floyds right. and cotto took shane's right well and never was hurt.

                  Who hasnt Mayorga given problems too? Even getting KOed so many times all his opponents are a bit confused at his awkward style at first.

                  Your giving Mayweather too much credit for fighting lesser opponents than shane bud. Shane takes risks and your bound to get hit fighting the best. Cotto is no push over either.

                    People say Mayweather hasn't got the power to stop him moving forward. His power is underrated but fair enough he aint gonna hurt Cotto with one punch... but he has got the speed and accuracy and smarts to catch Cotto every time there is an opening, and if Cotto is moving forward he could knock him off balance a lot along the way.

                      Where not on about who's fought who... where on about who would win... and he is saying Floyd has the skill to win. Your acting like Mayweather is more of a pushover than he is acting like Cotto is...
