    Struggling with Castillo that badly bodes well for him stylistically against Cotto. Cotto's larger, faster and more skilled technically than Castillo and brings the same type of technical pressure with a sledgehammer jab.

    Yeah, Ricky's father said that they'd been negotiating for 2 years leading up to the fight, and wanted both guys to be undefeated when they fought (hence the title of the fight).

    Floyd said he was mad at the statement Hatton said but I wouldn't be surprised if he and his team were like "oh good, there's some hype for this fight!"

    They didn't always do it in the past either. They fought more of them, but guys throughout history have been avoided and played the risk/reward game.

    ATG is very subjective. Beating Cotto would certainly be a feather in the cap for Mayweather, but how high he ranks just depends on one's list.

    Having Mayweather in the top 15-20 all-time "easily" if beats Cotto is pretty generous I'd say. There's been many great fighters throughout history.

    WTF should Cotto and his people have to shout louder at Floyd? Cotto's RECORD is SCREAMING loud enough!
