    That's because most boxing fans love to hate Mayweather. How did you score their first fight?

    I need to watch this fight again, I only seen the later rounds of the first fight. However I did watch the rematch and it was like night and day.

    It was...and I may be the only one who feels this way, but I think Cotto would end up like Castillo in the 2nd fight.

    Yes you are, Cotto is in no way similar to Castillo, Cotto can adapt very well in fights, cuts the ring a lot better, he is a southpaw, he's jab is way underrated and can cause a lot of problems to people who don't expect he has that kind of jab.That happened to Judah who was watching him coming in with the right hand and got his jab in the face.I clearly know Floyd isn't Zab but Cotto has a lot of tools he gets no credit for because he's such an aggressive fighter.People make a lot of reference of similarities to Cotto and Castillo because of their body attack but in no way are their styles similar and in no way I see a Cotto vs Floyd fight similar to Castillo vs Floyd 2.

    Cotto has quicker hands then Castillo though, and is a better combination puncher. And even in the second fight Mayweather showed that he had trouble with this style of fighter. I think he is in with a chance. Williams still presents a tonne of problems for mayweather style wise also though, which is why I heavily doubt they will ever fight each other.

    See if mayweather is succesfull in beating Hatton, i dont think he is going to fight the winner of cotto/mosley... simply because he has nothing to prove against those two, now if he does fight them there will be another fight around that he will have to put on his scheduele... so it will keep going and going, come on give the man his props

    This makes NO sense. Nothing to prove? How about, he is the better fighter than Shane or Cotto, or that he beats them head to head? Great fighters allways want to prove themselves against the best. For some reason, PBF fans believe that because he has the coolest jumprope video on UTUBE that he shouldnt have to. :-(

    Believe me men he will have no need to fight them, after he beat de la hoya he said he had nothing else to prove and he was going to retire, then they said that people wanted him to fight the biggest name out there and that was Hatton... and now the fight is on, so if he wins to me he has nothing to prove, but go ahead il let you all continue hating

    Should PBF defeat Hatton in convincing fashion i will consider him an ATG. He doesn't need to fight the cotto/mosley winner, however it would be a great match up for the fans.

    so true, there will always be excuses, I mean imagine any fighter beating so many top guys in each weightclass still having something to prove. what didn't he prove by beating 5 champions all highly ranked by ring mag.:rofl

    floyd doesn't need to fight the cotto/mosley winner but he will because that will shut up the haters permanently. I doubt anyone of them will be saying floyd ducked paul williams and kermit cintron and expect to be taking seriosuly. after beating the cotto/mosley winner.

    the shits that try and use mosley's age will be left looking stupid since b-hop beat both trinidad and ocar at an advanced age.

    Beating Hatton would improv his all time ranking, but he still needs to do more to be a lock for the top 10 all time pound for pound. Beating the winer of Cotto Mosley would make it almost imposible for his detractors to say he is not top 10 all time pound for pound.
