What makes Floyd a great fighter is his ability to adjust. But when he does adjust it's a one shot deal and he's pretty much coasting on from there. It'll be really interesting if and when Floyd adjusts, but so then does Miguel and a chess match ensues.

Cotto's trainer can't fight for him...at this point in his career he's not about to become a different fighter and all the sudden he's playing chess... Cotto better go to war if wants to make it passed the 10th...that's the only chance he has...Go 4 broke!

No, he is not,

Yes he's more accurate than Pac, numbers don't lie.

Amazing how many people willing to say Floyd will KO Cotto, but so far no one has taken the bet.

5 million that Floyd does not KO Cotto.

Nobody's saying Floyd will put Cotto down for the count so I don't know who you're aguing with. What a lot of people are saying is that Floyd will stop Cotto one way or the other, if you disagree then either take my bet or shut the F up.

A fighter that walks around at about 150 is fighting at 154 to get a name in the ring with him and still all I hear are complaints.

Another fight people said he was afraid of but the fight gets made immediately after Cotto leaves Top Rank AND he's giving Cotto a career-high payday. Something Bob Arum should be embarrassed by, btw.

Anyone but Pacquiao and he's fighting someone he knows he can beat YET he calls Pacquiao on the phone and the fight just does not get made.

He has to fight someone. The rising stars from 140 would get handled and he would get lambasted for even having them in the ring. Can't fight Berto, beat Mosley and Ortiz, Mike Jones is Top Rank, Kell Brook..., Jan Zaveck..., Selcuk Aydin..., WHO?!

This was pretty spot on but who else but Cotto? A 154 pound champion with a lot of experience, notable names on his record, a following and a good trainer?

I don't think its really at all about Cotto being a different fighter more than being consistent and assertive. Clearly, if you go in with one game plan against Mayweather, you're going to lose. Cotto's shown in the past that he can switch it up. He's not the greatest boxer, but as some of his opponents have said, he's very deceiving (as is Mayweather). IMO if Floyd is to have a dominant performance, he's gonna have to let his hands go a bit and considering he asked for 8 oz gloves I think that's what they're going to try to do.

There will be no chess match. None of these fighters have a high boxing IQ. The only one that did was Marquez, and we all saw what happened there.

Haha. Exactly! This guy has been fighting the same way for more than a decade. And now all of a sudden he's gonna be some boxing technician like Marquez? Yeah right. He has to go for war and hope he can land a lucky punch.

riight, they took turns coming foward at eachother, definitely would not say floyd walked him down
esspecially considering the only one i ever saw against the ropes in that fight was mayweather

Floyd clearly put Mosley against the ropes with a right hand that pushed Mosley back, while Floyd was teeing off on him. The crowd went crazy because it looked like Floyd was going for the stoppage.

Don't eve bother with them on that. It was painfully clear that Floyd was the aggressor and dominated. Even his haters like Merchant admitted that. So don't even bother.

Yes he's more accurate than Pac, numbers don't lie.

By less than a percent at the moment, but in there next fights I expect Pacquiao to overtake Mayweather again

Glad everybody has came to there senses.

It so obvious that Floyd can't KO Cotto.
