    i dont see anyone beating him apart from maybe shane mosley, i used to think paul williams might have given him a good fight but he got his ass handed by quintana.

    Yuriy Nuzhnenko

    He's Cotto's mandatory. If Miguel wants to keep his 0, he would be smart to stay away. Nuzhnenko has unreal speed, power, and timing.

    When Antonio Margarito beats Cintron again, he will have the IBF belt and a fight with Cotto will precede a final unification with Mayweather ! With that being said, I believe Margarito takes care of Cotto in an incredibly tough fight for both and grabs Cotto's WBA belt !!

    With the exception of Floyd, these fighters would have the best chance at 147...

    1. Shane Mosley
    2. Antonio Margarito
    3. Kermit Cintron

    I left Oscar out because I don't know if he can make 147

    I think Oscar De La Hoya beats Cotto. He can get to Cotto with the left hook and I think he'll do that before Cotto gets to him. I also think Vernon Forest would have a shot due to punching power.

    No one. PBF has a 50-50 chance.
    Mosley might beat him 3-10 times but his chances might diminish if it doesnt happen by 2009.

    Eh. I just disagree 50/50, Floyd has many advantages over Cotto, I just dont see how its 50/50

    No fighter within the 147 pound division, or the 154 pound division can beat Miguel Cotto. INCLUDING FLOYD:deal

    The only way I can see Cotto getting beaten is by catching a very well timed counter punch from a big puncher. He has all the tools to give Floyd trouble, and can do things that both Castillo and De la Hoya were troubling Floyd with to a greater degree.
