    Stylistically I agree that Cotto had the attributes to defeat Mayweather, however I think Pacquiao physical attributes are what make this fight interesting. Pac is quick, fast, and pretty strong himself. Pac was able to handle Cotto and Margarito so I'm not worried about his strength. I think it's the quickness that makes the fight interesting. However stylistically this should be in Mayweather's advantage so it'll be interesting how it plays out.

    But you forget Sherlock Manny Pacquaio easily kicked Cotto's ass, So did Tony Margarito

    I do agree that Cotto does possess some attributes over Pac that could trouble Floyd but didn't. I would agree with you even more if Pac didn't brutally stopped Cotto already.

    I Am Surprised that you haven't created an alt to agree with your statement yet?

    Cotto doesn't have one advantage over Pacquiao. Not one. Strength? Based on what? Cotto was a bully down at 140, then Mosley, Clottey, Margo and PAC all had him back peddling by the end of the fights. He couldn't impose himself on any of them. I'm not convinced Cotto is stronger than PAC anywhere tbh

    Certain fans on this board misread and misinterpret every thread that has facts or opinions outside of their own. They don't want to get it

    totally wrong, SPEED kills.

    Why did pac beat cotto? speed
    why did pac beat dlh? speed
    why did pac beat hatton?speed and power
    etc..

    why did floyd beat canelo? SPEED
    why did floyd beat cotto? SPEED
    why did floyd beat maidana? SPEED


    It's a no brainer to know that every time Floyd faces an opponent that has slower feet and hands, he toys with them. For the first time in his career he is meeting his equal, in both hand and foot speed although Pac may be slightly faster.

    SPEED...

    SPEED...

    SPEED...


    Khan would also be problematic for Floyd. Wonder why he ducked Khan after promising he would pick winner of Maidana/Khan poll yet picking Maidana when khan won? SPEED..

    SPEED

    SPEED

    SPEED

    SPEED

    SPEED


    take this advantage and Floyd will have to rely purl on technique, smarts, heart, stamina ..., in the past it was all speed.

    SPEED KILLZZZZZZ

    I understood what you were saying right away.. People read a little and go straight to typing instead of understanding what the thread is about.. Cotto has more attributes to beat Floyd than Pac.. This has nothing to do with Pac vs Cotto...smh
