    Floyd was able to able to push Hatton around because he is very sneaky with his own rough house tactics on the inside, and Hatton is a much smaller guy.

    As far as pushing and shoving is concerned Floyd is at the disadvantage in comparing to Cotto.

    C'mon Brooklyn, no one busts up Floyd bad. I just haven't seen many fighters of Floyd's defensive ablilities get busted up bad.

    Im not saying he will have his way with Cotto, what i am saying is Floyd will be no pushover either, he always finds a way to neutralise his opponents strengths...as seen in both the Hatton and ODH fights.

    Cotto has the power and style to overwhelm Floyd. We know he hates being hit. The problem will be can Cotto land consistently to keep Floyd thinking. By the 3rd or 4th round Floyd has you figured out. The key for Cotto will be to keep Floyd guessing longer than that.

    Cottos well timed Jab and good ACCURATE body punching makes him a serious threat. But if Floyd beats him convincingly that would be some ****. He would put a stamp in the foreheads of all his haters.

    that's the problem right there. Cotto may never get that many PPV sales. it's possible, but not likely. does that make him less of a fighter. if he couldnt generate that many sales with judah or mosley, there isnt another fighter on this earth outside of Floyd, Hatton, or DLH that he can generate that many buys with.

    that is the problem floyd fails to realize. No matter who Cotto fights, he will not generate those types of numbers b/c he doesnt have that personality.

    so floyd just needs to accept that fact and fight anyway. he needs to understand that he will never again in his life see another payday as large as he did against dlh or hatton. him fighting Cotto will be the 3rd highest payday.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: I think you got it mixed up...Cotto is the only guy Mayweather should fight. Cotto already stated he wants to fight...Floyd is still looking to rematch The Big Show.

    Cotto need to get 500+ PPV sales to get the fight? Why? Did Floyd have does numbers before Gatti and DLH gave him the chance? Hell ****ing no!! So why is Fl;yd using that bull**** excuse?...I'll tell you, he knows how dangerous Cotto really is...and if Miguel beats the **** out of Margo...I see Floyd running even faster...to the WWE.
