What does ANY version of Cotto do that would trouble Mayweather?

    cotto couldnt and didnt adjust, he didnt commit to the body, he kept head hunting.

    so what do you think woudl have happened if it was floyd.

    floyd would have wrecked cotto as well

    I agree with you!!
    Cottos has no advantages in this fight. His power would be nullified

          Cotto would be looking one lucky punch and probably have 12 rounds to do so.. i dont think floyd would put enough pressure on him to make him fold.

            cotto isn't stronger than Shane at all............him beating Shane (just) came about from one thing......he kept that stick in Shane's face the whole night and worked everything off that.......Cotto couldn't stand and trade with Margarito......shane cracked Margarito like an egg.........

            To say Cotto is physically stronger than Shane Molsey is laughable IMO.

              Cotto has a very good jab, cuts off the ring well and he actually isn't slow. He's a very good boxer...not on the level of Mayweather but who is? Also he has under rated speed, most people who get in the ring with him are shocked at his speed and I think it would be quite similar to Mayweather Vs Mosley but...I reckon Cotto would get a round or two more...9-3 to Mayweather. He'd lose the first couple of rounds, have trouble with his jab...maybe get caught with one left hook to the body...then from round 4 onwards, outboxing and outsmarting Cotto to claim a UD.

                    so what do you think woudl have happened if it was floyd.

                    floyd would have wrecked cotto as well
                    And how is that comparable to Floyd? Miguel struggles with guys that throw volumes and have good power to back it up. Floyd never really throws high volumes and his power, while underrated, is not Margarito or on Pacs level(maybe close to Pacs but Pac has electric power and comes from more angles you don't see). Floyd would of moved around and tried to make Miguel tire, which could of easily could of happened, but he wouldn't of wrecked Miguel. I doubt he could wreck Miguel now even with us seeing Miguel declining and Floyd getting better at his craft. Once again 2008 Cotto would cause Floyd big problems.
