Hatton beat Castillo quicker than Mayweather did. This means nothing.

Obviously this post is an attempt at highlighting the fact Cotto did a quicker job with the common opponents. Can't wait to see Floyd outbox, outclass and outshine Cotto- because it will happen eventually

The JLC that fought Ricky was poop.

Though I do agree that beating a common opponent quicker doesn't mean much.

You are wrong, this post is to highlight that floyd avoids the good or tougher fighters, while cotto fights them. Bot i like your point about being quicker with common opponents. Somehow Floyd will have an excuse for that or floyd fans.

Corley and sosa in 12 rds??? C'mon, does he need to go the distance with these 2 cats. Where is the power with 2 fighters miguel tore up.

You're probably right, it does show that a fighter can't put them out and has to go the distance. I understand going the distance with a tough opponent but you all know that Cotto would get ripped if he went distance with Gomez or jennings or a lesser talent fighter. Besides his loss to Margoplaster Cotto has only gone the distance with 4 other fighters.
