    Those were some pretty ferocious shots he was landing flush on margarito. I don't think Floyd has the chin Margo has no to mention the firepower. As well as Margo did...I think Cotto helped in his own defeat...all that running around caught up to him and exhausted his defense, which then allowed margo to get to work. No one hear can say that it wasn't a clinic rds 1-6. I just think that Cotto could have possibly beat PBF Sat. I don't think Margo could have though...stlyes make fights and i think PBF could do what cotto did for the first half of the fight for the entire fight.

    Cotto would play the role of the chaser in a mayweather fight. He would have been the one doing the damage while mayweather not having affect but landing also. I'd say in cotto's position it would be a totally different fight that he would win by late stoppage or close decision

    Could be.
    He wouldn't have landed at will, but it was an excellent performance.

    Cotto would of tired out by the 5th round against Mayweather, since he's such a hard target to hit.

    Exactly not to mention his stamina is not the best and PBF turns it up and doesn't fade in the later rounds.

    Its hard to tell, Cotto would have fought a different fight. I believe Cotto would have come out the winner though. Maywether is not a pressure fighter and picks his spots, I think Cotto would've capitalized on that.

    neither does cotto but its a totally different thing when you have a huge guy continuously coming straight at you.

    anyways no cotto wouldn't have beat mayweather because he didn't prepare for a mayweather.

    Mayweather doesn't have the power to hurt Cotto at 147.
