who gives a **** if Floyd's half an inch taller or an inch taller? His reach is 2 1/2 inches longer which is kind of important but Floyd's skill and speed and intelligence will win him the fight, or Cotto's skill and strength will win it for him...not a inch here or there.

Yes his reach is longer but he's not 5'8, and you just contradicted the hell out of yourself, u say floyds 2 inch reach advantage is important then u said an inch here or there isn't going to win the fight, so which one is it? think before u type..

Am I the only one who while I was scrolling, saw the Shane pic and went "WTF!?" Lol.. I kept going and then remembered he still fights and IS fighting. :|

Height won't matter..not like he's 6'11 and fights tall....

Floyd looking more like his daddy every day though! Starting to show some age.

U kidding me? Floyd has always fought like he was 6 ft, he has always used every inch of his reach, now a days u never see floyd fight anyone longer than him like khan or lamont or williams or martinez, not saying he wont , but he would perfer not to, last time floyd fought someone long as him in reach was de la hoya and he almost lost that fight winning by just a slim SD

People so ****** they can't even tell floyd ain't really 5'8 they are virtually they same height because they are both 5'7 duh floyd has never been 5'8 he's not an inch taller than cotto its clear here. In fact my sister is 5'8 and if she stands next to floyd I can assure u she is taller go look back at any videos on yt when floyd was 20-23 he's listed at 5'7 1/2 last time I checked 21 was a grown man floyd hasn't grown any since then he was 5'7 1/2 at 21 and he's 5'7 1/2 now regardless of what they rounded his height off too on paper...

Well go do a little more research. Just because you reach 21 doesn't mean you stop growing. Look at George who plays for the pacers he went from 6'8 to 6'10 from last year. If you look at the picture you can tell Floyd is an inch taller unless you are saying Cotto is not 5'7..

His reach is 5 inches longer. Where do you people come from?

[Othello]

Floyds actual height is 5'7 1/2 and Cotto 5'7, there is a difference because 5'8 is actually pretty tall and Floyds not quite 5'8 but his arms are long for his height

Where I'm from 5'8 is midget height

I consider reach to be arm length...and Floyd's is 26" and Cotto's is 23"1/2. I'm not talking about wingspan

yeah...read again. I said his reach is important and its 2"1/2 longer...but I dont see how Floyd being half an inch or an inch taller makes a difference. Reach is more important, and he's got almost 3 inches there, not just half an inch or so. No contradiction

Floyds not a 7 foot bball player dude and he hasn't grew any since he was a grown man at 22 years old, toe to head him and cotto are both 5'7, floyd is 5'7 1/2 but they just round him off to 5'8 due to his reach http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW4sI...e_gdata_player 22 yo floyd listed at 5'7

Huh!!! Somebody please make sense of this statement.

Shane old as Ass Mosley, topped by Cotto and Floyd either side and demoted to the left side. Canelo's there looking like Wayne Rooney and really dying to get Floyd, Cotto's speaking with belief but has the look of a third world nation dictator about to go to war with the U.S., Breafast is served.
