Prime Cotto loses to Floyd unless....

[boxing is alive]

He has Pedro Luis Diaz in his corner. Not saying I would favor him to win, but Diaz was a huge factor in the recent Floyd fight. He created the proper game plan that allowed Cotto to be very competitive. Do you think that Uncle Evangelista would have formulated the proper game plan to beat a prime Floyd? Hell no. However, a physically prime Cotto (at arguably his best weight) with the proper strategy has a very solid chance to beat PBF. Again, not saying that I would favor him, but if an end of prime/past prime (gtfo with that "washed up" Cotto BS) can win 4 rounds against Floyd, a prime one can grind out an ugly decision. 2007/2008 Cotto would not have fought Floyd the way he did in May - that swarming and cutting off the ring was a result of the Cuban trainer's intelligence and direction.

Yea climbing ropes and spinning in circles trying to catch a tennis ball is going to beat Floyd Mayweather. Log off, son.

A Margacheato fan trolling a Cotto thread with a legit argument....why am I not surprised?

So is Mayweather in his prime in your hypothetical scenario or just Cotto? You do realize that Floyd is older than Cotto don't you? I mean Floyd isn't in his prime either. He also chose to fight Cotto's fight. A prime Floyd fights a completely different fight imo. You have to take all of that into consideration.

I do actually. However, Cotto is more removed from his prime now than Mayweather is, and 147 is Cotto's best weight, whereas for Floyd it's 130-135. I don't believe that Floyd "chose" to fight Cotto's fight....more like he had no other choice but to do so. In all honesty, if I had to make a prediction, it's probably a majority decision for Floyd (something like 114-114, 115-113, 116-112). Without Pedro Diaz, Floyd probably gets a wide UD because Cotto can't catch him.

A trainer can not fight for you. Floyd wins 9-3, 10-2 every time out against any version of Miguel Cotto.

Well no, I don't agree with you.

[Weebler I]

Prime Cotto gets UD'd by prime Mayweather.

I'm a Cotto fan, not a Mayweather fan.

If you're a Mayweather fan, you're disappointed he didn't take that fight in 2008.
