    I'm one fight fan who doesn't want to see Pac V Marquez again! So Mayweather V Pac or Mayweather V Cotto interests me more. I am surprised the Cotto fight hasn't happened in the past 2 or 3 years. Cotto has only lost once (legitimately) he deserves a fight against Mayweather. It's got to happen this year or never as time is running out for all of these guys. Cotto could give Mayweather trouble, but when you analyze it all with clarity we all must remember that Floyd Mayweather is quite possibly the best defensive fighter of all time. How does Cotto hit him enough to win?

    Well #1 The jab is KEY, De la Hoya had success with the jab and lost a close fight. #2 Cotto can switch from orthodox to southpaw and is very adaptable. Floyd does have good defense, and he will continue to use his questionable tactics, the elbows, forearms, etc but Cotto is a rugged fighter too. He's not going to make a rookie mistake like Victor Ortiz.

    I wouldn't mind seeing floyd cotto. I wouldn't give cotto much a chance but it's much better than guerrero or canelo. Both of which are extemly laughable as floyd opponets. Especially canelo, people want to see him fight chavez on min but yet want to see him fight arguably the best boxer in the game the next !!! It's like saying you want to see the pats and giants in the super bowl and right after be just as curious if they could beat the colts's back up squad. I know everyone wants to see floyd loose but christ mentioning these b level opponets is just waste of floyds time and ours. How bout canelo fight kirkland, or cotto, or martirosyan, or dzinziruk, lara, hell even trout angulo or yea chavez. How about at least be the best or even close in your division before you jump on the "i can't beat the other guys in my division but i can beat floyd cockride contest. How bout these guys fight each other and earn a shot at floyd. Canelo??......good lord. Rodger could win enough rounds to beat this guy.

    Dont mind seeing this fight it is 3rd choice for me behind pac and martinez but martinez has a fight in march anyway. I wouldnt want to see this fight at a catchweight though.

    I think Cotto definitely deserves this fight, given what he's accomplished in his stellar career. Plus... he's always taken on all comers. Back when Cotto split with his uncle Evangelista and got together with this "no-name" trainer Joe Santiago... I wouldn't have given Cotto a snowball's chance in hell of beating, or even being competitive with a Mayweather. Hell... he took a beating from Pacquiao in a fight where he started off well (jabbing and snapping Pac's head back)..... but regressed into a slugfest style that favored Pacquiao.... and had no one in his corner to keep him from doing it. Now, with this awesome Cuban trainer, he looks like a different fighter. He looks like the guy who outboxed Mosley against all odds, when Mosley was heavily favored. So basically I'm pretty excited about this fight... although I agree it should have happened a couple of years ago.

    First Cotto takes on Mayweather. Cotto gets boned.
    Then Mayweather goes to prison. Well you get the picture.

    Just read on ESPN that Cotto prefers Mayweather because Pac wants Cotto to come between 145-147lbs again which Cotto is not willing to do. Guess he's just as tired of Team Pacs B.S as most boxing fans are.

    Floyd has said he has no problem going up to fight Cotto so we could be close to this fight.

    I couldt get too snobby about a cotto match up especially at 154...

    I think cotto would aim to make life difficult for Floyd by jogging around the ring like a little bitch again but I think Floyd will basically walk him down and win a close and cumbersome looking SD.
