During a recent interview with the Newark Star-Ledger, WBC junior middleweight champ Floyd Mayweather, Jr. touched on the subject of a bout with unbeaten WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. Mayweather told the paper that it's premature to talk about a fight with Cotto. He views Cotto as a good fighter, but also says Cotto makes way too many mistakes to ever beat him.

"Cotto is a good fighter, but he's too flat-footed," Mayweather said. "His punches are too wide. He'd never hit me. I'd see them coming all day. His good hand is his left; he's a converted southpaw like Oscar De La Hoya. The left hook I'll see it coming all day. His jab's too slow. And he makes a lot of mistakes."


I don't think he has seen Cotto's earlier fights were he showed how well he can box on the backfoot(man I miss when he used to do that) and although he is right about Cotto's left being his good hand,his right is pretty powerful too.I agree his jab can be too slow but at least Floyd admits he is a good fighter.
