Cotto vs Floyd around May 2008?

[Pony Boy]

Floyd, no doubt about it. Then, now, tomorrow!

[Bastian Loc]

Cotto would walk him down and destroy him and Mayweather would just watch it happen.

There's a reason Fraud didn't wanna fight him in his prime. He can't deal with pressure fighters and body punchers.

Same reason he's ducking Pac and the same reason he ducked Tony in his prime.

Save that Arum bullshit excuse for the gullible ****swingers.

If this fight happened at that point in time, who you got?

Cotto does better than people think because of the left jab, which he times well......though Floyd figures out the correct formula by rd 6 and dominates the late rds.

Floyd knows how to smother the left hook effectively.....Cotto won't land his money punch with regularity or severity, and Cotto's chin is suspect when hit clean, which Floyd will do.

Mayweather 7rds to 5.

you forgot to mention Floyd retiring.

he was nowhere to be seen then, much like today.

Bradley looks like an alien in that pic......his muscles remind me of young Arnold Schwarzenegger, they actually look alive......

Floyd wins a clear but competitive 8-4 decision.

Similar fight to Oscar fight. Cotto would have some success early with the jab and his great timing with it, but soon Floyd would start countering over it with the right hand. Cotto would win some rounds on aggression in the beginning but Floyd would take over.

This fight should still happen now at 147. A Cotto vs Mayweather match is better than anything Pac has served up since he fought Cotto, and it's a big money fight.

I agree Floyd hasn't fought a body puncher like Cotto or pretty much a single fighter like Cotto at 147. But still, he fought Castillo at 135 who is as good a body puncher as Cotto IMO and although he struggled he dealt with it and got the victory, i also believe the 147 version of Floyd is better than the 135 version.

As opposed to Cotto who has never faced anything like Floyd remotly as well as Floyd does it at any weight. I'm not saying this is why he would win, i'm just saying in the sense of the 'Cotto will beat Floyd because he doesnt struggle with boxers' theory, is not nessercarily true, you know?

I think Cotto brings the best out of Floyd, but Floyd beats him.

Well,if U can use Castillo to compare to Cotto,the same can be done about Zab Judah!!He is arguably faster than Floyd & has more power!!He gave Cotto trouble early but Cotto's even greater power & solid boxing skills still overtook his early speed & power!!(Now just in case someone says something crazy,Floyd's stamina is the great equalizer when comparing him to Judah)!!

Floyd is not koing anyone bro

Dont be fooled bruh. Do you know what Floyd's money punch was at that time? It was possible for Floyd to get a stoppage. Unlikely, but possible.

Not only that but his ring smarts as well.

100% Co-Sign. But IDK if Cotto's comin back down to 147. He seems to fit in well at 154, but we'll see how he does against an inactive Mayorga. Should be a rough fight at the begining, with Cotto overtakin Ricardo mid to late. After that I'd like to see Cotto in with El Perro. Now THAT Check is a fight!!!
