    Only a shameless Floyd nuthugger thinks Marquez is a tougher fight.

      At first we were told by them Marquez was a tuneup. Depends on the day you ask them.

        He does sometimes bring a good point... but brings up bad ones as well...

          Cotto is the tougher matchup in reality because,Cotto has never had problems with defensive fighters,he has the power,he has the jab,size,counterpunching ability and everything else a welterweight needs to fight at that weight!!

          People confuse fighting Clottey and Margarito,big pressure fighters to little Pacman or marathon floyd,there is no comparison except Pacman comes forward and throws a lot of power punches,while floyd runs and runs some more!!

          With Cotto applying pressure not worrying about the pitty pat return fire,floyd is in for a long night!!If floyd cant beat the stamina out of Cotto,he's in for along night!!Every thing Marquez does good,floyd does better,plus he is wayy smaller!!

            I don't like to call him a tune-up I have too much respect for JMM to call him that, but that's the easiest way to explain it IMO. It is a comeback fight and I don't think Floyd would have had to jump straight in with Pacquiao, Cotto or Mosley... but he is still a great fighter in his own right and can't be overlooked.

              John ruiz was never ****.
              Cotto has never been #2 or 3 pound 4 pound in the world.

              JMM does everything better than Cotto.
              the only advantage Cotto has over JMM is size.

              now when comparing who will be a tougher fight for Mayweather.


              if you say cotto...Primarily based on size..
              then you are wrong.

              Because if that is the case.
              Then the Oscar of 2007 was and is a tougher fight for Floyd than a Cotto fight ever will be. because that Oscar was bigger, stronger, and had more power than cotto... and Floyd still won that fight.

              Size doesnt always wins fights.
              Skills win fights
              Brains wins fights
              Experience wins fights

              If sizes always wins fights we wouldn't have fighters winning titles in 3 4,5,and 6 weight classes

              Skills have a bigger part to winning fights
              than size does.

              History proves that!

              Juan M. Marquez is a better fighter than Cotto..
              JMM is better in every boxing catergory than cotto.
              JMM is smarter and has more experience than cotto

              and the only thing cotto has on JMM is size and power.

              but is size and power tHe primary weapon a fighter will have to have to beat floyd?

              when has that ever worked against floyd?

              Zab Judah showed you that a fighter who has some kind of skill set will give floyd trouble.

              Carlos Baldomir showed you that you will need more than size to beat floyd
              Deigo Corralles showed you that you will need more than power to beat floyd
              Oscar De la hoya showed you that you will need more than size and power to beat floyd.


              So with that said...

              How is Cotto a tougher fight than JMM?
              From a boxing stand point can someone explain

                    Jmm p4p is better than cotto, that said jmm has no business @ 147 lbs.
