    I think Miguel would do really well against him...I think he would be the best overall package who is in their prime that Floyd has faced since lightweight, quite possibly his whole career.

    Even as a massive Cotto fan though he would not come close to beating Floyd...He would hang with him all the way and take some rounds off him.

    But I think a competitive 8-4 or 9-3 verdict for Mayweather seems about right.

    You need to change your avatar.

    Do you really believe your own post or are you just trying to placate
    these gaybirds on this Gayweather thread?

    I understand the thread, but can we someday stop with all the PBF threads on if he is coming back and who he can beat. If he comes back, great. If he doesn't, let's just leave him alone and let him live his life. Again, we will never know how great he could have been if he does not return. Also, lets give Cotto a chance to see if he comes back the same or hopefully better.

    Why should I have to change my avatar because I dont blindly follow the man in it?

    He is one of my favourite fighters, Ive never made a secret of this since Ive posted on here but you got to get real.

    ***** Boy Floyd, Gayweather, Money May Cocksucker whatever you want to call him..Is just better, simple as that.

    Im not a fan of Floyd, Im a massive fan of Cotto..That doesnt mean I dont use logic and reason to discuss an outcome of fight between them.

    Floyds toughest fight at Welter. Cotto is a fighter that can come forward, has boxing skills, but lacks defense. Would be a good fight. I see Floyd winning 8-4 7-5 in that range.

    I think Cotto would push Floyd harder than anyone has in his career, he would make Floyd struggle at times, but Mayweather's will to win is superb, and he would come through whatever tough moments he would be presented with in the fight. I think that it would be highly entertaining to watch.

    And as you are, I'm a bigger fan of Cotto than Mayweather.

    Cotto needs a couple fights before facing PBF. PBF probably wants nothing to do with Cotto now after his loss to Margarito and Margarito's loss to SSM.

    Floyd bust Cottos mouth up with clean uppercuts, causing a stoppage after the 8th sometime.

    Hahaha Shane broke Cotto's will? The guy who lost broke Cotto's will? Interesting logic. It's like saying DLH broke PBF's will in their fight.
