    Barros couldn't throw combinations and Collazo moved very smart to his right. Didn't surprised me that much and he says he wants Cotto, I didn't knew he was funny

    I laughed really hard when he said he wanted Mayweather.......that Collazo is a role jokester.

    Well if a semi retired, 35 year old fighter without a significant victory in years can get a rematch with Mayweather after being beaten by him clearly, maybe Collazo figures he can get one too. Hell by 2009 Floyd will probably want to fight a Puerto Rican, and it won't be one named Miguel. :smoke

    Yeah, Mosley owned him and Mayweather will really OWN him.

    When that 35 year old can make Mayweather 30 million...you fight him 100 times if you can.

    Very good fighter who brings a little bit of everything; speed, defense, slickness, and a chin. I'd like to see him fight Andre Berto or Joshua Clottey.

    I think Oscar would beat Cotto 10 times out of ten for whats its worth.

    Yet, Oscar doesn't want any part of him. He could make comprable money fighing Cotto, and chose Mayweather instead.

    Thats because one would outbox him, and one would give him a beating (providing he lost, which he does against the elite).

    I understand Cotto is a good exciting fighter......but he is nowhere NEAR Floyds level...Floyd turns him into a punching bag....Cottos slow feet will do him in.

    Slick, quick, southpaw with speed, agility, and toughness. I think the SSM fight opened his eyes a little. Credit him for saying he wants in with the top guy's and said Margarito as well. I kind of like that matchup a LOT:good

    One weakness is he doesnt finish with the big shots in combination often enough. Isnt a power puncher and his style is geared heavily towards points wins. He needs to at least flurry more consistently to try and get some guy's outta there or earn their respect.

    Is he THE BEST? Hmmm.... not based on what we saw so far, but he's a worthy opponent and will make a good fight.

    Projections mean very little. They are the two best fighters in their division, and its the best division in boxing.

    Would you have projected that Forest would beat Mosely twice, or that Mayorga would beat Forest twice? I wouldnt have.

    Mosley is not as good as Floyd is right now when Mosley was p4p number 1.

    Mosley cant fight people taller then him..Fl;oyd destroyed the late Corralles who was 6-0ft....

    I just dont see what qualities Coptto has theat will cause Floyd problems.
