    Cotto has the best jab floyd would have ever had to face.

    Hatton has no jab.

    **** no. I think Cotto could give Floyd a lot of trouble. The main reason being his jab. I still think Floyd would definitely beat him but it would be a tough fight for Floyd.

    i think their equally the same

    neither fighter at any time posessed the tools to beat FMJ but they would make him work for the win.

    The only attribute Hatton had over Cotto was fast feet, but almost every other advantageous category belongs to Cotto in my humble opinion.

    cotto's jab is too slow and his work to the body is to wide.

    plus he really doesn't have any defense.


    it would have been a typical floyd fight... competitive for 2-3 rounds then floyd would have embarassed cotto over the next 8 or so rounds

    cotto isn't stupid enough to keep comign at floyd so he would have got UD'd

    cotto is 100x better than hatton.... but the more predictable you are the easier it is for floyd to beat you.... I think floyd would have figured out cotto quickly...

    I think hatton was a little trickier for floyd beacuse of the way he would come in and all that clinching he would do...

    Yup, just like Mayweather-Margarito went. What a great win on Floyd's resume.................................. oh wait.

    I personally think his jab, coupled with the timing, is 1 of the most effective jabs in the business today.... And that alone would give Floyd problems imho

    his jab would be easily timed by Floyd and countered often do you agree?

    LukeO said it best about Mayweather, he is the pound for pound king of "Would have, Could have, Should have".
