    I think emotions are ruling the head here, the Miguel Cotto of 2012 is not the same guy from 2007/08. He is a great fighter and in my opinion has only ever lost once legitimately.
    Floyd is still the best defensive fight of all time, Cotto's only chance is the body, he goes for the head and Floyd will not be there. It could be a Gatti type fight for Floyd, Cotto will be hit and hit often by Floyd, i expect a wide UD for PBF with one part of me hoping for a glorious left rip to the body by Cotto that has the pretty boy doubling up and falling to the canvas. It's a nice dream.

    PBF via wide UD...
    Don't see Cotto giving PBF problems.
    Maybe early in the fight Cotto lands a couple of good shots when he PBF decides to do the shoulder roll on the ropes but other than that PBF all day.

    Mayweather is a very smart man. He picked May 5th , big day for Mexicans , and got Canelo put on the undercard. More Mexicans will buy now since Canelo is a superstar . He will get more PPV buys then Pacquiao vs Bradley then for November he will demand a bigger split for him since he will get more buys then Pac.

    Mayweather is a very smart man. A phrase not made meaningless through overuse.

    In my opinion he's never lost legit. Once to a handwrapping cheater and second to a weight drainer who had a huge question mark over his head for refusing to take PED tests.

    But I agree, he is probably not the same as a result of those losses which is unfortunate because he's always been a great fighter. He showed me that he is still near his best vs Marg for the 2nd time though. Great boxing, good feet..just needs to touch the body a little more when it comes to Floyd after sticking the double jab in Floyds face..kinda like Oscar was having success doing.

    Why have I been thrown out of this thread.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Cotto's ability in the past at working the body to not only slow down but k.o fighters was top draw, he's goto go back to those days...since the first Margarito fight and split from his uncle as trainer Cotto has moved away from what made him so dangerous. I would have liked Miguel to have got his uncle back in his corner for this fight, go back to his original style. Mayweather is much more fresher, longer reach, greater speed, reflexs and always boxes clever. Money may do to cotto what he did to Gatti if Miguel just trys to catch him rather then put together a solid gameplan......I really hope Cotto can pull it off, I feel Mayweather will start the fight with respect for Cottos power, Cotto has to put some fear in money with hurtfull body shots

    Can they do that? You need to spread your arms and legs star shape, and as they try to push you through the door, grab hold of the biggest guys shirt and pull him out with you.
