    Cotto is a tougher fight for Floyd than Mosley by quite a bit IMO.
    You think so? Im not so sure...

    Styles make fights. I dont think Cotto can outjab Floyd, His jab is good but so is Mosley's and whenever he tried to jab Floyd pull countered over his jab with the right hand or left hook. I think a simular thing would happen with Cotto, Mayweather has longer arms and would be able to time him with the straight right hand. Which is his best punch...

      I'll enjoy this just like I enjoyed Floyd-Gatti. Cotto should make sure they keep the ambulance ready for him near the ring.

        Mosley has no jab and there for no chance to get to Floyd, although Cotto is slower than Shane his insane timing actually makes him more dangerous of an opponent. Floyd kept Shane off way too easily for my liking, Cotto is more of a natural aggressor too and would fit the role better than Mosley.

          I like Cotto's chances, especially if he can be consistent with that well timed jab of his. If this fight does happen, I hope cotto is a big underdog so I can put some cash on him.

            Mosley's flicker jab and shaky movement is easier to counter and see coming than Cotto, Mosley was only dangerous for one round with the 1-2 and after than Mayweather solved him instanstly.

            Cotto's jab so far has only really been beaten by 1 massive welterweight with an amazing chin and the p4p #1 who threw so many punches from many different angles at insane speed at him.

              Its 50/50 fight. I think Cotto's body shot can KO Floyd. Floyd can only win by a UD.

                guys are blind here. mayweather is no joke when he's in the ring. cotto's not ready for this. mentally and physically. that's reality.

                  I think honestly the only two fighters that stand a chance at beating Floyd mayweather are Cotto and Pacquiao. Just based on simple stylistic standpoints.

                    UD win for mayweather.
                    if cotto comes in aggressive he'll get countered all night and there is no way he can outbox mayweather. and as we saw in the mosley fight, floyd can take a punch and recover very quickly too, if he gets hit.

                      LOL you do realize that everyone mayweather and Cotto have fought mutually Cotto has either beaten more decisively or fought a less worn down opponent.

                      Judah, Corley, Mosley and theres a long list to that.

                      I think Margarito Cheated and Pacquiao is the greatest fighter this decade. To beat Cotto you have to pressure him and not let him breathe. Mayweather will not do that since Cottos power can change fights
