    Who's the toughest matchup for Cotto?

    Personally, I think Manny is the harder fight

    The guy is a complete handful, power in both hands, excellent movement, lightning quick, good chin etc...

    Floyd is clearly no pushover, but I think Cotto would struggle more with Manny's superior offense compared to Floyd's superior defense... Also Cotto has little to no chance of beating Manny on workrate alone

    That's not saying I think Cotto would beat Floyd... but more chance of it happening.

    Paul Williams is Cottos toughest Match up. Paul Williams is long as **** and trhows too may punches. It will be hard for Cotto to get on the inside, and Cotto will have to be on the inside to efective!!!!!!!

        Pac, because Pac have the ounchers chance anyday of the week. and He will try to exchage wuth Cotto. SO he have a Chance of Koing Cotto early.

        Floyd in the other hand, wont even there to fight Cotto let alone, if they fight try to move forward!!!!!!!!

            The fights with Clottey and Margarito proved that Cotto is far less effective being pushed back... I can't see Floyd being willing to come forward
            He may have excellent defense, but it's alot easier if you can get Cotto out of there early or atleast hurt him.

              Neither..........

              Its Paul Williams............

              And to answer the question............Its Floyd because....unlike Pac..Floyd is hard to hit..less predictable...more accurate....has more defense..has more moement..will give more angles...he will hit and move he wont trade like Pac..OBVIOUSLY its Floyd.

                Based on what I've seen in the last 2 years, its hard to bet against Pacquiao.

                With Floyd, do any of us know how good of fighting condition he's in right now? We're all assuming what he'd do based on his performance...IN 2007

                Not a very accurate comparison, but right now i'd have to say Pacquiao.

                  i would like may to TRY that.....but we all know won't happen cause.....

                  Cotto and Pac ain't hatton, bruseles, gatti or baldomir.
