lol stops floyd

A prime Miguel Cotto from 2007-2008 had much faster hands and threw absolutely beautiful combinations with power. I agree that he had a shot to beat Floyd with the proper game plan, and I also agree that Diaz would have been the guy to train him.

^this...physically prime Cotto + proper gameplan = good chance to beat Floyd

Cotto was ringside at Mayweather Gatti(Hatton was also)
at about .27 on the video you hear Jim Lampley saying "Cotto may want the winner of the fight(thats the reason he was there), but if its Mayweather he might not want that..."
Cotto and Hatton witnessed first hand the a$$ whipping of a lifetime that Mayweather put on Gatti. That was an a$$ whipping for the history books. click Part 1 and look at the whole fight.
They wanted no parts of that version of Mayweather.

Cotto was never getting Mayweather. Floyd and Hatton wanted the Cotto fight for years at that point but Cotto was Arum's new star, not to be touched.

Secondly, I doubt either were too worried about what Mayweather did to a punch-drunk, past-prime Gatti.

Floyd had much better mobility back then. A shot to beat prime Mayweather? honestly, I don't see it. Floyd should have fought him though, the fight was there in 2008.

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

How this guy even have fans, that just shows you Mexicans will root for anybody as long as they come from Mexico

cotto lives too far away!

Cotto fought like the pre-Mosley, aggressive hunter he used to be against Mayweather. He doesn't need Diaz to fight that way in his prime, that's how he fought most the time anyway.

[lx!!]

We will never know cuz he ducked him like he ducked so many others. Floyd gayweather is a disgrace to boxing.

I re-watched this fight recently and scored it 10-2 Mayweather.

It wasn't as competitive as I thought it was originally when I watched live. Cotto made Mayweather's connects go down, but Floyd opened his hands up a bit more than he did vs guys like DLH. He made his adjustments and continued to land the clean effective blows round by round.

That was the most determined and studious Cotto would ever be vs Mayweather and he couldn't really do much. At 140 Floyd probably stops Cotto IMO. 147 wide UD maybe late stoppage if Floyd steps on the gas.
