Well I for one think Miguel Cotto is better suited to beat Floyd Mayweather and let me tell you why:

#1 He's more sturdy at 147....he's not weight drained here and he doesn't have to fight in spurts

#2 He's never met a defense he can't get through or get to....he doesn't care if he punches someone on the hip or on the shoulder or elbows....hell he stopped Branco with a friggin hook to the shoulder.

#3 He is more than just a left hook....sorry but that was Ricky's money punch, he has a good jab and right cross/hook but it's not as crisp as what Cotto has....Cotto's jab is a jackhammer. He's got great timing as well, Shane Mosley isn't easy to catch, Zab Judah isn't easy to catch....he has the "IT" factor that power punchers are supposed to have and he can still box which to me is wonderful.


Sure Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a great fighter, sure he has really put it on some good fighters....but if you're looking for a guy who can give Floyd a good run for his money it's Miguel Cotto.....I don't see Floyd staying in the pocket or pushing off with his elbow vs Cotto, I see him pot shotting and moving...and when that's the case and you have a bull of a fighter chasing you...one with great timing and powerful punches, you might get a shocking result.

Alas that is just my opinion
