    The model is a prime Winkyy Wright. An exlent defensive boxer who will pick his spots and not engage in a war. This being said If Mayweather were to impose his speed and force a fast tempo mayweather would still win.

    that's another fighter pbf avoided. a few years ago, they were suppose to fight. i think it was around the time floyd was fighting judah or baldamir. floyd was offered something like 9 million, which would have been his career best payday at that time, but he declined just like 8 million for margarito.

    Yes, but the first 2 rounds pretty much shows what Floyd could do to Pacquiao, which is to keep him from attacking with the jab and moving to your left.

    Floyd is just as fast as Pacquiao, has longer reach and height, and doesn't have the same warrior mindset as Cotto and Pacquiao to finish his opponent. He's content to run and score points which will be the key to Floyd's victory.

    I actually agree with you to an extent.

    All those things are pretty much true, the only thing is, I just don't think his chin will hold up against a good puncher who's able to find him.

    Man Miguel Cotto vs Mayweather would look like Mayweather - Gatti ...did you see what Clottey did to Cotto? Clottey is a poor mans even more defensive Mayweather. Pac busted him up with speed & movement and Mayweather is better then Pac in both areas, is more accurate and more defensive. Cotto would get knocked out.

    Unlike Margrito and Cotto Wright might have beaten him. In all honesty I don't ever recall any serious Weight/Mayweather talks. Also Wright had been fighting at 154 or bigger since around 1994.

    So maybe ask in the same light
    "Who won't floyd fight"
    "who has a chance of beating floyd"

    Perfect poll.

    Please go back to Cotto's last 10 fights. Look how easy it was for his opponents to land on him. He has been knocked down or hurt in every fight except the Gomez & Jennings fights. You guys are either haters or dont understand the technical side of boxing.

    Zab Judah hurt him, Margarito, Mosley, Clottey, Pacquiao, Torres, Corley....all of these guys were able to hurt, stun, knock down and even knock out Miguel Cotto & yet you are still trying to tell me that Floyd Mayweather CANT beat Miguel Cotto?.....:huh

    When Mayweather fought Zab Judah & Baldomir in 2006 Winky Wright was @Middleweight (160lbs) fighting Jermain Taylor.

    Vernon Forrest was @ 154lbs.

    What is your point?:huh

    Floyd goes in as the favourite over anyone up to 154lbs without a doubt.

    Pac can knock Void out. Why do you think Void is running? Void is void.
