    I'm far from a fan of Floyd, so I don't know what your talking about.

    What argument do you have for it being Mayweather?

    That's just a little extreme, don't you think?

    Exactly...that was my point. Cotto may have fought a better version but it isnt relevant to the actual fight between May and Cotto. Mayweather will beat Cotto because of his style and he is a better fighter, not because of the quality at the time of a common opponent.

    Castillo and Cotto dont have similar styles anymore, Cotto is more of a boxer now, not a pressure fighter. He also has never had a chin like Castillo.

    Nope, sorry, but that's your OPINION your giving me, it's not a fact until he does it. And I have a different take on it because I believe Cotto is the most difficult style matchup he could of took and is why i'm picking him to pull off the upset.:good

    That is a bunch of bull****. Just because he's improved from a techinical standpoint thanks to manny stewart and Diaz to a certain extent doesn't mean he can't pressure anymore. He clearly showed he could pressure and box at the sametime when beat Carlo's Qunitana who was a very skilled counter puncher himself and he did the opposite against judah(pressuring him) who had a lot more speed than Cotto. If you honestly think after watching his last fight with Margarito(and diaz helped his stamina and helped him with gameplan in the fight) that all he's gonna do is box just because he was boxing him due to his style, that's he's gonna do the same against Mayweather(when he's clearly show in the past he can due more than one thing and adapt to his opponents style) with a better trainer who's only gonna add more to his game, than your living in lala land. The man already said that he's prepare for everything Mayweather does in the ring, so that means he's gonna have a plan a, b, and c.

    And your right, he doesn't fight like Castillo, he's a more enhanced version of him because he does everything castillo does and better.

    Cotto's not a good boxer...He runs. I see you guys give **** to Khan and Dirrell for running, but completely gloss over the fact that Cotto flat out ran from a guy who has never been rated at 154, a career arm puncher, and had 1 good eye.
