    What if the Cotto/Mayweather fight had 8oz Gloves instead

    What do y'all think, Would Floyd have stopped Cotto, or would Cotto have had a shot at knocking Floyd out.

    I dont know if it would have been a huge difference, but just some thoughts.

    Than you would have seen a lot more than a bloody nose from Floyd...

      Both would have laid out more damage against each other.

      Fight would have been more of the same, but maybe more of Floyd's punches landing in between or around Cotto's guard.

        True, its hard to say, but it would have been alot more bloody. Either FLoyd hurts Cotto early and dictates the fight,enroute to a stoppage, or Cotto fights the same fight and ends up stopping floyd

          Cotto doesn't make it out of the 12th round.

          Remember when Floyd hurt Cotto in the 12th? I do.

          Remember when Cotto hurt Floyd in the fight? No, because it never happened.

            I think the entire fight would have been different. Floyd would have boxed more after feeling 8 oz from a 154lber. Depending on how he reacts to it I think it would have been an easier UD for Floyd.

                  if cotto did that to floyd's face with 10oz gloves what would he have done with 8s?

                  bigger question is, if cotto did that to floyd's face with pillow gloves, wtf is pac (who is known for disfiguring faces in the ring) gonna do with 8 oz gloves at 147?

                  what happened to floyd vs cotto was happening to floyd slowly but surely against ortiz. we all saw it when ortiz started pressing floyd in the corners ortiz landed.
