    I look at mayweathers resume and cotto could beat all the guys on his list and vice versa, they have fought four common opponents(Judah,Sosa,mosely,corley) they both were rocked by corley! Cotto stop him the fourth mayweather i think the ninth,cotto stopped Sosa in the fourth mayweather won a decision, judah was stopped in the 11 round by cotto mayweather won 12 decision, cotto 12 decision over mosely same for mayweather.

    Cotto is the better puncher and more physical offensive fighter.
    Mayweather the quicker faster defensive fighter.

    Mayweather had a better corner coming up than cotto did( Floyd senior)
    But now I think cotto has the better corner! Roger mayweather sucks has a corner man no instructions at all!!!

    I'm a cotto fan and I hope he wins! It's not going to be easy, but that's why you fight the fights in the ring and not on paper.

      When Mosley fought Cotto, when was his last good win?

      Against Oscar in 4 years prior, and he really should have lost that fight.

      I'm not denying that Mosley was a good win for Cotto. It was an excellent win, I rate it by far his best win.

      Mosley's next 2 fights (Not so much Mayorga, but power wise) showed how good the win was for Cotto. And that Mosley still had some left and them some at that point.

      But it's not better than beating one of the best Lightweight's of the last era in his prime.

      It's really not.

        No, I'm really not.

        I remember Mosley not having a good win for a long time when he fought Cotto.

        Not that it wasn't a good win, like I stated in my other post, It was a very good win.

        Still, not better than beating one of the best lightweights of the last era in his prime.

        No, he wasn't.

        It doesn't matter how many times you repeat it. Mosley in 2007 was not better than Castillo in his prime.

              You're only saying this cause Cotto beat him and since you're a fanatic you want to make it seem more than what it is. That isn't a fact, it's an opinion by the way.

              My OPINION is that a prime Castillo was better than a 07 Mosley. Overall in accomplishments of course Mosley.

                I dont think it will be that lopsided for Cotto. Fight is at 154 not 135 or 140 or 147, its all the way at 154. When Floyd fought Oscar he had minor trouble, but still, trouble nonetheless. Cotto is brilliant at timing: timing opponents movement, punches, and placing his jabs. Oscars jab was doing him some good against Floyd. Imo, if Cotto can establish a sturdy defense, and implement those well timed jabs, as well as applying effective pressure to bully smaller Mayweather around, he has a chance, but thats if he combines all these points in his strategy.

                And i'd like to point out that I hope some of the other posters on here can appreciate my non-spamming and non-flaming posts, just as I do the others. I'm tired of seeing senseless arguments and opinions without explanations. I wish this forum had more logic and respect than a bunch of keyboard warriors. So for all those of you who post logical and nonviolent posts, I respect you and appreciate your posts. As for all you idiots who constantly spam this forum and make me sometimes not even want to read through the posts just to find a good one,

                    I think it's pretty difficult to justify a 07 Mosley being a better win than Castillo in his prime.

                    Mosley of course is the the greater of the two and a better win prime for prime.

                    Then again, on the flipside, if you were to consider Castillo to have won the first Mayweather fight, which many do, then it's pretty damn argubale who is greater.

                    If Castillo was given the nod in that fight he's a first Ballot HOF'er, IMO.
