    You haven't said anything important on this thread, yet everyone else has. And you made the thread. Shut the **** up and type something worth reading.

    They weren't bums but they were either up and comers or past their prime fighters or already beaten down ... you can match up the names with the categories that fit them best.

    Cotto was protected for most of his career ...

    He never beat a champion for their strap -- he's always gone after vacant belts.
    And he fought Gomez as a voluntary defense? ... how weak is that?

    The longer reach would be to PBF's advantage ...

    Yet 98% of the posts on this thread have nothing to do with the arm reach of Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather.

    That means that Floyd can use his length and his superior footspeed to his advantage.

    It would be difficult for Cotto to get on the inside and be effective ...

    Cotto doesn't have defense ...

    Cotto is very hittable ...

    He's not as fast as Floyd so the reach would be a determing factor if they were ever to fight.

    PBF's longer reach is a strength and thats where this stupid little story ends. It is ONLY an advantage if he can take that strength and turn it into one. Is that too hard to understand you twat? If Floyd goes into a Cotto fight with less than 100% legs through inactivity that strength will easily be nullified by Cotto's leg strength/balance.

    You're like this little child that can't see past Floyd Mayweather's defensive shoulder roll and arm reach. Do you think Floyd Mayweather can shoulder roll his way to Victory over Miguel Cotto? Floyd's biggest asset are HIS LEGS. It's not his "Reach" which in the end is an AVERAGE reach advantage, its nothing that big! :lol:

    Cotto vs Floyd will be a battle of who has the strongest legs, because they're going to be ALL OVER each other and all over the ring like flies on ****, and you think a small reach advantage like that is going to matter considering Cotto has perfectly molded his style to his physical characteristics? :deal:lol:

    Thats all opinion. What is fact is that they were all top 5 Ring ranked fighters when he beat them down.

    And you picked Gomez to beat Cotto so shut your bandwagon ass the **** up.

    He isn't a Mayweather fan. He is a Mayweather cheerleader and a Miguel Cotto hater. Either or its a disgraceful stance.

    Most people on this forum are fans of what Mayweather does between those ropes, and still are fans of Miguel Cotto. Fans of the sport of boxing.

    Cotto can't pressure Floyd ... Floyd is used to being pressured and performs at his best when being pressure ...

    Cotto can't outbox Floyd because Floyd is a master boxer and is too sharp ... too fast ... and too experienced.

    Cotto's only hope is to survive 12 rounds ... if they ever were to lock up.

    Not only does Floyd have the reach advantage (he will keep a short armed guy at the end of his punches) ... he has the advantage on speed, agility, ring generalship, savvy, accurracy, rhythm, and defense ...

    Cott would easily be discouraged against a guy who's obviously better than him - a guy thats more talented than him ... a guy thats not scared of him ...

    Keep digging yourself into a little hole, theres no coming back from childish little **** like this. You're a joke, even if Mayweather did fight Cotto and beat his ass it still wouldn't vindicate all of your good for nothing posts.
