Floyd hasn't lost...Take 2008 for example......
Cotto went 1-1 with Alfonso Gomez and Antonio Margarito.
Floyd on the other hand didn't fight at all.
Clear cut advantage resume-wise for Miguel over Floyd in 2008......though getting beat down by Margarito makes it somewhat close.
Cotto is the greatest!
He's a loudmouth that needs his woman beating ass kicked I agree,but you can't argue with his record.Comment

Domestic violence trial for boxer Mayweather begins
By Christina Almeida, The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — The former girlfriend of Floyd Mayweather Jr. testified Thursday that the world champion boxer never hit her during an argument in 2003.
Josie Harris, 25, told jurors she filed a false police report because she was angry that Mayweather, the father of her three children, had left her for another woman.
"I was just really upset because I didn't understand why he could just leave like that for somebody else," Harris said as Mayweather's domestic violence trial opened.
Mayweather, who holds the WBC 140-pound title, has been charged with one felony count of battery constituting domestic violence for the incident that occurred inside his black Bentley, which was parked outside a Las Vegas nightclub.
During opening arguments, Deputy District Attorney Alexandra Chrysanthis told jurors Harris would recant and that they would have to decide whether she was telling the truth now or when she filed the police report.
"This is going to be a case ... about power and control," Chrysanthis said.
Mayweather's lawyer Richard Wright told jurors the boxer acknowledges pulling Harris from the car after she kicked in the front windshield.
"He never hit her. He never kicked her. He never pulled her hair," Wright said.
Harris told the jury that she was the one who instigated the argument and she kicked the windshield "like it was the other girl's face." Harris testified that a scratch on her face was likely caused by the steering wheel when Mayweather dragged her from the car.
"I was pulling on him, punching him, telling him he shouldn't have left me, that he shouldn't have left our three babies," Harris said.
When asked by the prosecutor why she would pick a fight with a professional boxer, Harris said she knew Mayweather would not harm her.
"He's like a teddy bear inside," Harris said. "I knew that no matter what I did, he would never put his hands on me."
The battery case is not the first for Mayweather, 28.
In February, Mayweather was fined and ordered to perform community service after pleading no contest in Grand Rapids, Mich., to a charge of misdemeanor assault and battery for a bar fight.
Mayweather, who grew up in Grand Rapids, lives and trains in Las Vegas.
Last year, Mayweather was convicted of misdemeanor battery stemming from a fight with two women at a Las Vegas nightclub. He received a suspended one-year jail sentence and was ordered to undergo "impulse-control" counseling.
The pending trial in Clark County District Court was delayed a day after the judge dismissed the first jury pool for a lack of black jurors. The current jury, including alternates, has one black member.
The trial for Mayweather, who is black, is expected to conclude Friday.
