    It would have been an enormous fight. Same result probably just a bit closer and all round a much bigger fight.

    imagine an undefeated cotto who doesn't have the damages he got from margo and pacquiaio at his prime division.

    Still a close one, but Floyd finishes Miguel late.

    You're not considering that Floyd is also better @ 147 and with 8 oz's...

    and you're not considering that floyd is mostly a defensive fighter that time who doesn't take much risk.

    Miguel has been taking beatings his whole career - not just by Antonio and Manny. Obviously, the worst one resulted in his first pro. loss. If there is a "decline" in either, or both, it's more apparent in Floyd.

    Miguel seems to have this improved confidence about him that he didn't have earlier on, regardless of his battles.

    Agree,also imagine if Pac had not fought a drained and damaged fighter in Cotto which he got damaged from Margarito... Freddie knew this and even admitted it which is why they fought him and not Mosley..
