Cotto's a powerful A level fighter and it wont b an easy match under any circumstances.

    Floyd's a level above Cotto IMO and I would favor him over Pac if he's still the Floyd of old
    i agree floyd is a level above cotto in boxing ability but i wouldn't be surprised if cotto beat him..cotto is dominant when he stalks and walks down his opponents and that's what i see him doing against floyd..floyd is a small welter and won't be able to make cotto fight while backing up

      I'd be pretty surprised if Manny managed to beat Floyd.

        It's ok, Pac can still KO a prime Oscar and Pernell.

          Unless youre just too big, you need to be tricky to beat Floyd, a good counter puncher, someone who can throw and land the punches another fighter doesnt see. Not many fighters can do that.

            Marquez pretty easily outboxed Pacman in the two fights, without the knockdowns they would be considered boxing clinics.

            Given that and the fact that floyd might be the best technical(not p4p, thats ROY) boxer we have seen in over 20 years.
            This looks like a mismatch to me, the only time floyd has ever been in trouble was the first 4 rounds against Judah, and as we know Judah is an a level fighter for the first couple of rounds(except when Kostya put his ass on the floor).

            It looks like to me that Floyd will just outbox Pacman. Tell you the truth he might even knock him out. Expect a 117-113, 118-112 scorecard in favor of Floyd or a late fight TKO.

            I am not a floyd fan, but some of you guys just need to see whats up, and there is no reason to believe Pacman will win the Floyd fight, let alone easily win.
            Marquez is a different fighter then Floyd. Styles make fights. Marquez is a boxer puncher with a killer instinct. He looks to counter but when you start pressuring him he has no problem letting his hands go.

            Also there were no boxing clinics. without the knockdowns both fights were still very very very close. i had both fights even if you just scored the rounds and no knockdowns.

              i believe pac has a beter chance than anyone else alive to beat floyd...and i still think he can't do it...floyds style is what get's people...a lot of people get pissed that he doesn't all out box...but the name of the game is to hit and not get hit...until someone goes in and actually plays chess with floyd...i can't see him losing...

                Floyd doesn't stay in front of someone for a long time like Marquez does. He'll do his work and move or clinch.

                  Cotto - Floyd H2H is a completely diff. matter altogether. As for skill Floyd is a level above. I think a Floyd - Cotto would b intriguing
