        Everybody saying Cotto must be out of their minds. I don't even know what else to say to that.

          Mosley would make PBF feel like he was in hell.

          He got speed, and probably would have a gameplan to avoid left hooks. But Floyd still would be the favorite.

              people keep bringing up mosley but alot of that is wishful thinking, mosley makes enough technical mistake that PBF would capitolize on, wide looping punches, closing his eyes during power shots and several defensive lapses.

              however paul williams.

              thats a tough one.

                Manny makes alot of mistakes, the bad matchup is more for manny than for floyd, coming at floyd with pressure, even calculated pressure has been a gameplan for alot of people. the only thing i seriously see floyd being troubled by when it comes to manny is the right hand, but for that to work, mayweather would have to be in the shoulder roll the entire fight, which he doesnt do.

                  Cotto comes forward better than anything, the way to beat cotto is to make him fight on the back foot with non stop pressure.

                  Something opnly few can do like margarito or Pacquiao.

                  Cottos boxer puncher skills are taylor made for Floyds fighting style with pot shots and a lot of movement on the backfoot. I dont think Mayweather can hurt Cotto like Pacquiao did given that Pacquiao punches like a middleweight. Mayweather lasted the full 12 with Zab judah who matched hiom with speed. Both Cotto and Pacquiao are fast on the attack. I also feel Mayweather hasnt foiught anyone with the caliber offense mixed with heavy hands and great body work like Cotto or Pacquiao or even Williams which is why I feel he loses.

                  Mayweather can run so much with the way Cotto the way Cotto cuts the ring off beautifully, and Pacquiaos hand speed and power with blazing awkward angle combinations will catch Mayweather and eventually KO him

                    Ideally...

                    Probably a tall lanky southpaw with a ridiculous reach advantage that throws 100 punches per round.

                    Wait a minute...

                      Just Cause COtto lost to Pacquiao doesnt mean he cant hang with a guy with less activity and less power.

                      Mayweathers style is a perfect fit for Miguel Cotto.
