    So what? Are you assuming Floyd will attack Cotto as muchas Shane did? DO you think he'll take the chances Shane took? Floyd has become a more safety first fighter.

    You can't just use the "If Shane did that, Floyd would too" line as your reasoning, because that's too falty and flawed.

    True, Mosley is not a jabbing man, but he also is not a defensive genius like Floyd is. Floyd will frustrate the hell outta Cotto the way he will make Cotto miss IMO.

    You, and several other Mayweather fans, need to get a grip with reality. Mayweather is a defensive wiz, but he CAN be hit. And he will be hit. You guys make it out like no one can touch Mayweather. Or you have to have his defense to be as good as he is. You fanboys make the biggest deal out of Floyd's attributes, and never look at what the other fighter brings. And that's your biggest problem.

    I myself am STILL waiting on how Floyd will beat Cotto as bad as Gatti?????? That Cotto will be frustrated is a given, will it be enough? Will Cottos shots make Floyd run even more so on fight night? Who has FM faced at WELTER that can pressure and hit like Cotto?

    Hatton's agrresiviness is way better5 than Cotto's. How will Cotto have Floyd running? Old man Mosley was putting pressure on him for a good chunk of the fight.

    I don't think any boxer could be successful at a high level in UFC. Unless they took the years to develop a ground game, they would be one dimensional.

    Hatton needs to stay at 140.

    He needs to stay out of the UFC.

    How is it WAY better? :huh Tell me, whic of the two has looked better @ 147? Cotto's body attack is probably the only one better then Hatton's.

    It's his pressure and hard punches that will probably keep Floyd backpeddling some.

    How will Cotto put effective agressiveness on Floyd when he is slower than Hatton? Cotto has never faced anyone like PBF.

    What do you mean he's slower then Hatton? Since when is Cotto so slow? Cotto will put effective aggression becuase that's basically how he fights. He stalks his opponents and belts them with his hard punches. Sure Floyd will avoid some, but not al night long.

    Who did Douglas face that was like Tyson before they fought? Who did Shane Mosley face who was like DLH before they fought? There are thousands of examples of that logic being meaningless.
