Would Floyd have gone undefeated if he fought the fighters Cotto has?

    How the heck do you guys know we can speculate but a younger Floyd had better stamina and still could out point either guy including Cotto who gases out aalot in many of his fights including against Mosley whom I think won the fight just like Clottey. Everyone thinks Margarito could've beaten him because of his size and stalking nature. Maybe but the difference between he and Cotto is that Floyd has great defense and looping shots wouldnt land and he would counter Margarito all day and move and win. May have been a tough fight but Margarito would look like he did in the first half of the Clottey and Cotto fight.

      I am not sure. If margacheato's hands were plastered (as I believe they were) for Cotto's bout, it could have added career KOing damage to Floyd win or lose.

          Sosa - UD12
          Corley - UD12
          Malignaggi
          Torres
          Quintana
          Judah - UD12
          Mosley - UD12
          Margarito
          Clottey
          Pacquiao
          Foreman

          I would say Mosley is the toughest guy on that resume and Floyd just beat a top #1 WW version of him. To be fair, Cotto would beat everyone Mayweather fought at 140-147. But you have to think about Floyd's run at 130 as well. Floyd is now a full WW but that doesn't erase the fact that the bulk of his wins are at 130 and 20KOs of the 25 in his career came at 130. Just keep in mind you're comparing a 5 weight class champ to a 2 weight class champ.

              Floyd should easily beat any fighter in Cotto's resume. PBF is the king of Fantasy fighting. You should have known that.

                floyd would beat them all. Sometimes I don't understand how you people come up with this stuff. Zab Judah and corley almost knocked cotto out. Look what floyd did to them. Look what floyd did to mosley.

                  Undefeated Quintana
                  Dangerous Zab Judah
                  a couple years younger Shane Mosley
                  Extremely Motivated and Plaster Fisted Margarito
                  a Determined if not Gun Shy Josh Clottey
                  and a Rampaging Manny Pac at a catchweight
                  and then a few scrubs sprinkled in between...

                  i dont know man, thats a tough lineup of fighters to go through and not to mention undefeated late replacement Torres and undefeated Paulie in there.

                  I would Favor Floyd in every fight BUT i just think everybody loses at some point and somebody would have caught up to him.
                  I'd basically say floyds record would be 35-1 with about 22-24 KO's against Cotto's opponents.
                  The loss would be either against Pac,Mosley or a Cheating Margarito but wouldnt be stunned if Paulie or Quintana made it interesting (but not win)

                    Floyd would of never beat the version of Paulie Malignaggi and Otkay Urkal that Cotto faced.
