    Cotto was also not at his best at 140, weakened by weight-draining. You honestly think Kessler is that good? Better than Cotto?

    Yes.

    For example, Cotto even dropped 2 rounds to Quintana before TKO'ing him, squeeked by a game, but older version of Mosely and showed defensive flaws to Zab.

    Cotto beats Floyd on styles more so than anything else, I don't regard him as a superior fighter to Floyd like some idiots do.

    That ***** is pumping the ONE DIMENSIONAL Kessler up to make his boy look good. I called that fight too. I said Kessler was going to land some punches but once Joe realizes his ****ing attack is the same every single time he would be able to avoid it. Took him more rounds then I thought and he got caught with the right hand and hurt. But Kessler being this guy that looks for the one punch could not do **** to follow up. His left hook is ******ed and akward and that still hit joe..LOL..he waited 5 rounds to throw an uppercut a punch that would of put calzaghe on his ass. He barely could even throw the punch correct. Kessler was most predictable fighter I have ****ing ever seen. I said that longggggggggggggggggggggg ago.

    Well not THE most predictable. He was somewhat predictable though. However, so was Trinidad, just very few could stop him. Not sure how good Kessler really is. Wait and see is my tactic here.

    Kessler was the 2nd best fighter in the division, period.

    We should expect to see Floyd fight the 2nd best fighter (Cotto) in his division accordingly, right?

    This is a tough argument for me because I love both fighters but I'll continue...I think Jones probly had the ability to block punches with his gloves but we'll never know because he never did it.

    Thats like debating could Tyson be fleet footed..maybe but we'll never know.

    The gaps in talent between Jones Jr. or Floyd Mayweather...are none if any either way towards Floyd or Jones.

    But I thought this arguement began with you saying Floyd was the most talented you had ever seen?

    He will fight and beat Cotto. The fight will happen later in the year...Calzaghe will break a hand in sparring(******ed punch technique) and retire before bhop. :lol:

    Kessler dropped 4 rounds to Mundine.... And he beat.... the feared Marcus Beyer. Woah. Awesome. And the great Manny Siaca. Unreal. And the technically perfect Andrade. These guys would p4p have been demolished by Cotto. Quintana, Judah, Malignaggi, Mosley are all better then these guys. Its not even comparable.

    Thats just my opionion.

    I think P4P Floyds defense and smarts would have him eek out RJ in a close fight.

    Kessler...in a nutshell.. Double jab straight right....he cant fight backing up and his hooks are hot garbage. He has GREAT timing though. He can put that right hand on you if you give him a target.

    Im ok with you opinion- but its worth pointing out that this debate began with your statement that PBF was the most talented you had ever seen "on every level" if Im not mistaken.
