    I agree with low reward, PW needs to beat atleast two more top WW. With that said, I think he present a tougher challenge to Mayweather than Cotto. How ever, Cotto fight would be a better fight with Mayweather winning by UD, possible late TKO.

    I agree, plus Cotto didn't beat Mosley as convincing as Mayweather beat DLH. To be honest, I had Mosley winning by a round, it should have atleast been a draw :yep

    I like Cotto and all but one thing about Cotto is that he relies A LOT on his body punches...you take that away from him and he's in for a LONG Night....As he was with SMM.

    Floyd took the body shots away from Hattons game plan as well and we all saw what happend. Floyd would no less do the same if he faught Cotto but would be too fast and accurate for a plodder like Cotto. Cotto does have good foot work considering his style but it's nothing great...just underestimated.

    Floyd could most definitley KO Cotto as he did Hatton. Cotto has been rocked more than a few times and a perfectly placed punch could send him off in to "LA LA LAND".

    Cotto doesn't scare a guy like floyd who has superem confidence in his boxing ability and on top of his game in the ring. Cotto is just anther name on his resume that he doesn't really need. His legacy is secure without fighting Cotto....but dollars make sense in the eyes of Floyd so this fight is possible if they can come up with enough money to tempt floyd to take anther fight that will do nothing more or less for his legacy, he'll go ahead and take the "W".

    While Floyd has ran in the past to glide his way to a points win, he's proven that if he has his back to the wall he can still out box you on the inside, outside, rightside or leftside with out much problems.....that is of course if you are not a boxer on his skill level a la Hatton.

    Whoops. He was 34 my bad.


    Doesn't change that Shane was 36, a lot of people feel he won the fight.

    And Oscar isn't old enough for Cotto, as hes calling Oscar out.

    Im not paranoid. I just want people to give him credit for his win over Oscar. But people still claim Cottos win over Shane was better.

    Shane won on my card.

    As much as I love Floyd, beating Shane is more impressive than beating Oscar. Shane is a better fighter than Oscar. PERIOD...end of story.

    Yes, but Shane is a much smaller man naturally, something that cannot be forgotten when discussing his talent at or above 147.

    As speed goes, size becomes much more important.
