    Cotto beats everyone at JWW and above that Floyd fought.

    But, he doesn't beat everybody below JWW that Floyd fought at the weight that Floyd fought.

    However, Floyd might not lose to the guys that Cotto lost to.

      Cotto was protected at 140 somewhat, so he didn't fight guys like Tszyu and Hatton, because he was "too green".

          I agree. Cotto was a beast pre-Margarito, there's no denying that. Not even the Oscar at 154 would have beaten Cotto before the Margarito fight.

          But if you reverse the roles, I don't see Mayweather losing more than 3 rounds to Margarito and he most likely would have beaten Pacquiao in a UD (all speculation, but so is this thread).

            Cotto fought top JWW's, but not the best of the top guys. Arum for whatever reason did not make Cotto vs Mayweather when they were both in Top Rank and Floyd was willing to fight Cotto.

            For some reason Cotto vs Tszyu was never made, Cotto vs Hatton was never made.

            Yet Cotto vs Malignaggi/Torres/Corley was made easily.

              Not necessarily true, Cotto fought some good comp at 140. Torres, Paulie, Bailey, Corley, Pinto, and N'dou are all respectable wins. I'm pretty sure he would have beaten that washed up version of Tszyu and Hatton would have been demolished by Cotto. You can say a "green" version of Cotto (or bob arum I should say) wanted no parts of Floyd at 140 but the same goes for Floyd when they were both at 147 and people were demanding the fight but Floyd chose to "retire".

                I agree and disagree. I think he would have beat them all, Gatti would have been crazy as **** but I think Cotto would have just outworked him. Gatti could definitely punch but I don't think he had the Margarito or Pac type bombs that would break Cotto's heart and stop him late. I think Cotto would just outbox him. Probably would have been another fight of the year, possible fight of the decade type fight. Man that gets me so exciting just thinking about it...

                I don't think their's any excuse good enough for this fight(cotto-floyd) to have never happened. No excuse for Floyd to retire. It would make his resume so much better and more spectacular if he beat Margarito and Cotto. Would definitely have tons of trouble with Cotto who always handles defensive boxers. Just got that bad style match up for all of em.

                  thanks for pointing this out.

                  ALL THE REAL KILLERS AT 140 were: Floyd Jr, Tsyzu, Hatton, and Miguel.

                  At least Hatton and Tsyzu both fought one person on that list when they fought each other.

                  Miguel doesn't fight anyone on the list similar to FLoyd, but he always gets a free ****** pass for it.
