whose competition was greater???...Cotto or floyd

[Shattered Jaw]

Cotto and it's not really that close. The Mosely that came for Cotto was throwing bombs and Floyd practically wet his pants at the prospect of facing Margarito. I believe the only fighter Cotto has ever 'ducked' is Paul Williams, although that's Arum's doing - Cotto would fight him.

I also believe that Cotto would have beaten Oscar and Hatton. I wish Hatton could go down to 154 and make a fight with Cotto...

I don't think this plays into the equation. Those opponents were prospects who stepped up their competition in facing Cotto and the result is what did happen.

I might get flak for this, but I think the fact that Cotto went life and death with a lot of his opponents; which I believe he shouldn't have if he's really where a lot of these people want to place him, factors into this.

With that said, I think Cotto is a very good fighter with a good resume, but I believe Floyd is a great fighter whose handled his competition impressively to attain the P4P status he's had and has.

Cotto no doubt about it.Floyd is great but he plays it safe too much.
