Whilst Cotto is no plodder, i do think he is a little too slow to really compete with Mayweather.

I'd expect Mayweather to box him all night and keep away from them heavy hands of Cotto.

---

PBF might box him all night but Baldomir put PBF on the ropes some and he's SLOW....plus Cotto throws punches for effect whereas Baldomir threw for points and didn't throw enough.

---

I don't think Baldy "put PBF on the ropes." PBF wouldn't have been there if he didn't want to be there. And it's not like Baldy landed anything when in that position.

Castillo one was YEARS ago. Zab didn't take it to Floyd he layed back and countered. Once he started to take it to Floyd(mid 4th round) he started to get picked apart.

PBF got on the ropes and Baldomir ain't Miguel Cotto because had he been there would be an L on Floyd's record.

Cotto adds pressure is a good boxer AND has legit KO power at 147...he may have legit KO power at 154!!!!

I don't doubt that Cotto is a better and harder-hitting fighter than Baldy. But I'm not sure why you think PBF would go to the ropes against Cotto, as he CHOSE TO DO against Baldy.

Its absolutely ubsurd for Hatton to think he could out smart Floyd. Hatton would get caught in every trap that Floyd sets for him. Hatton is a brute without punching power, he has been hurt in his last 2 fights against relatively nobodys and he beleives he has a chance against the best fighter in the world ? please Ricky u would be totally outclassed.

Floyd is a sound boxer. he not like roy jones who depends his natural speed. PBF has great technique
