    No, you didn't actually. WHat you said is too simpleminded. And I don't think Cotto is He Man, but Floyd isn't superman at the same time. Cotto's good enough and streong enough to trouble Floyd, and beating him isn't out of the question either.

    Because clearly it's absurd to think that Floyd Mayweather could beat Miguel Cotto:huh

    It's more absurd thinking Floyd wins easily.

    I'd also like to add that I don't hate Cotto, I just don't think he's as good as all his nuthuggers believe

    His nuthuggers have no bearing on his actual skill. You've taken the same extreme they have just on the opposite end.

    You've already said Hatton is WAAY more skilled then Cotto, that right there shows you aren't serious.

    What do you mean, I think Hatton is more skilled, just gets hated on because of his rough style

    They say HOW he is more skilled for once. Cotto''s BETTER defesivley, put his punches together better. Tuckes his chin better. Uses his jab more. And is getting better at cutting the ring. What does Hatton do better that shows he has more skill, or WAAY more skill as you say.

    Cotto would crush Hatton. Hatton is a entertaining fighter at 140, but has no business at 147. Best win was against an old Kosta. I don't believe Cotto can beat Floyd unless Floyd makes a mistake. I love watching both Cotto and Floyd, but Floyd is all business in the ring. Gatti also had no business at 147 and would never beat Cotto at any weight. Wrong comparison. Cotto would diffinitely give Floyd a good fight and like I said, if Floyd makes a mistake, Cotto could end things. Floyd has been rocked in the past. Time will tell after the Oscar fight.

    Well... I would say the opposite, I think Ricky puts his body punches together better and picks his spots better, has better footwork and positioning, and also has better hand speed, not sayin Cotto is bad in any of these things, but I think Ricky does it better and I think that Floyd will have an easier time with Cotto, I guess I mean that he will be easier to pick apart.

    #xxx in an epic thread. "Hi mom. I want public attention too - just like your favorite Chris Crocker"...
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Cotto-PBF would be a superfight. I can see Cotto succeed where DLH failed. Hooks and bodyshots to the liver. However, despite being a jerkoff and a selective fightpicker, PBF carry great set of skills that will make anyone look worse than they are....

    Lets hope it will be signed, even if PBF should lose to DLH.

    You think Hatton is the best offensive fighter in boxing. YOu think both Mayorga and Gomez will KO Cotto. You think that Baoldomir is a more credible opponent then Cotto. You are a hater pal, pure and simple.

    Well, then you aren't saying anything. I'm as big a Hatton fan as I am a Cotto fan, and he does NOT put his punches together better. Not when he's holding and hitting often. Hand speed is about as much a skill as being taller. Either way, Hatton and Cotto's handspeed are pretty close anyway. HOW does he have better footwork or positioning? Based on what fight with both?:huh

    floyd doesn't have the balls to even mention cotto's name let alone fight him. He can't even pick a top 10 ww to fight, talk about the path of least resistance.
