    Considering his age and that most other fighters are still amateurs at that same age who are practicing their craft, not to mention that Pac has completely transformed himself into a well rounded fighter since then, I'd say the point that you and Mayweather keep making about Pac's early ko defeats is completely a moot point. And btw Mayweather isn't a 5 division would champ in my eyes. His 140 title over Gatti, rip, is equivalent to Pac's 135 title win over Diaz.

    i do agree that Floyd is capable of outboxing Cotto, but I don't think he can slow him down or KO him like he says.


    I never heard Floyd calling Cotto out, you have any link on this?
    If it's true then i admit I was wrong.


    I hope Arum and Floyd can settle out their differences and make this fight happen, the Cotto/Pac winner HAS to face the Floyd/Marquez winner, every boxing fan would want it...

    Yes he can. Cotto's chin isn't the best and if we learned one thing then it's that Cotto can't handle punches he doesn't see coming well enough and we all know how fast Mayweather is. Cotto isn't an all-out aggressive fighter like Hatton so he WON'T be that easy to catch. He tends to wait and pick his shots, that's where Mayweather wins based on speed.

    We all know Cotto runs out of gas too if he's forced to move or throw a lot, all these are signs that he can be TKO'd late or just outboxed by UD.


    There were many attempts, I just posted one video up and that's not the only one. There are many others which clearly show Mayweather showing interest in making that fight happen.

    Exactly, that's why Pacquiao's team indirectly threatened to ditch his ass to make that fight happen if he's going to ruin it as he clearly wants to. After they did that you see Arum mentioning a possible fight with Mayweather more.

    When a guy says "I'll let my promoter choose whatever the hell he wants" for me then don't expect specific fights to happen. That's what Mayweather tried to do and got nothing from Cotto. Arum then comes out with false claims about how everyone ducks his guys only to sign guys in his stable to fight one another to keep things safe.

    With Pacquiao's team showing signs of ditching his ass if he tries to ruin it now he's going out publicly and mentioning that fight more because he knows that what HIS FIGHTER wants.

    Cotto could have done the same if he really wanted Mayweather before.

    Floyd came to 140 looking for a big money fight with Gatti and later on a unification fight with Cotto, and was told after he beat Gatti that Cotto was not ready for a fight with Floyd by Cotto's uncle and promoter Mr. Arum. This is a fact.

    Agreed with the above. And for the record, Diaz is not even close to a Gatti.

    I get why PBF would want the Gatti fight just like I understand why Pac ended up fighting David Diaz. The point is both Gatti and Diaz were title holders but neither were considered to be the top fighter in their divisions.

    I guess you make a point that I can take. Floyd wanted Cotto, and Cotto's people said Cotto needs more fights.

    Funny how he hasn't fought anybody significant for quite a while now and he continues to get so much hype.

    Talk is cheap when it comes from a guy who really does not fight the best. He is a good fighter no doubt, but to say he would beat anyone when he does not fight the best is just talk. He certainly does not belong as an ATG. That is for sure. He will not talk his way into being an ATG, he will have to earn that with many more quality wins.

    Exactly. Pac has developed a big mouth as of recent. Tell Pacquiao that fighting Diaz, Dlh and Hatton is NOT fighting the best. PAc does need more quality wins to be considered an atg...

    all three of them, pacman, cotto, and floyd, are equally capable of beating each other. i think cotto is the best of the bunch and has gone through the most brutal wars of the 3. he proved he ain't no damaged goods by taking on and beating the very dangerous joshua clottey whom of course floyd won't even dare mention. cotto still has one of the best jabs in boxing and that's floyds achilles heel. floyd couldn't ko an over the hill oscar, how is he going to ko cotto? floyds biggest ko's were vs. face first brawlers and punchers like hatton and corrales, he ain't knocking out cotto and especially pacquiao

    Cotto is a fine fighter, but he has no right hand, and that's why he will lose to Pac. Cotto isn't strong enough to beat Floyd. Many of Cotto's wins were against guys he overpowered until he faced a stronger man in Margarito. He did beat Shane which was his best win, but he was kind of exposed as being limited offensively.

    Cotto does have a fine jab, but he is smaller Dlh who had the height and reach over Floyd when they fought at 154. Cotto will not be able to exploit Floyd by using his jab. Floyd loves it when guys come at him. What he learned in those Castillo fights was patience. Cotto can't beat Floyd, and I'd be willing to bet that if they fought he would stop Cotto...
