    I doubt Cotto would beat Floyd, unless Floyd was unfocused, and had a big off night, while Cotto fought the perfect fight. Though, that seems unlikely as Floyd has turned it up in his biggest fights and performs well under pressure. I'm not taking anything away from Cotto, and I like him more than Floyd, but I can see that Floyd is at another level.

    Welterweight division is weak as **** at the moment so no-one.

    Very overrated division

    I don't think anyone below 160 would beat Floyd. Cotto would probably give him the most competitive fight, but in the end I think Floyd wins. At 160 it's just possible that Floyd could beat an ordinary middleweight, but Pavlik would be too much for him.

    I thought Paul Williams, but obviously the quick, moving style was all wrong for him.

    Probably Cotto has the best chance. Cotto can bring the heat like a bigger, stronger, more powerful Jose Luis Castillo.

    Anyways, do you think Cotto would give him more trouble than Hatton?

    cotto doesnt beat him

    DLH actually had a pretty close fight, however I dont see him beating him in the rematch.

    Williams has a good reach but its not enough to beat pbf.

    right now basically no one out there beats him

    Really?

    I've reviewed their fights at welterweight and I'll stand by this pick. Who would you take?

    I hope you are taking the **** there. If this is a weak division whats the heavyweight and even the middleweight division.

    I think the real question is how many times mommy dropped you on your head. Must be that Cali sun or that Cali green that got you trippin on your own drool.
