Tough one - very good opinions so far from everybody.

It would seem that everyone considers Floyd the best - but that given the right set of circumstances, Cotto could prevail...

I know we talk about how Malignaggi 'is no Floyd' - but how would them 2 go at each other, PM V PBF? ? Paulie albeit lacking in power, is certainly game enough and with good speed and combo's? sure i see Floyd taking the lion's share of the rounds off him, but Paulie would still be there at the 12th.

Now, Floyd against Cotto would be case of 'can Cotto handle a jab landing in his face all night long & everytime he gets close to unload, Floyd has gone?' - would Cotto snap with frustration? IMO Cotto is one of the most patient fighters around and patience could be the key.

I think if Cotto bid his time throughout the first 2 or 3 rounds whilst getting Floyd to expend energy and conserved himself for an all-out assault from round 6 onwards, he could score a brutal KO - as Cotto carries more weaponary than Castillo who also pressed the action.

He would have to sucker Floyd in to believing what was in front of him 'was not all that' for a few rounds and hope that Floyd goes through his bag of tricks - then jump on him from all angles.

But, credit to Floyd, the truth & reality is i see Floyd taking round after round after round until he's won by points.

The only thing that could change things, is if Cotto can suddenly throw 50% more leather at 147 and up his work rate, instead of fighting in bursts.
