Floyd beats his ass and all ofa sudden Ricky ain't shit, he was too small he wasn't a real welterweight.

I love Cotto but PBF is on another level.
Heheheh! Interesting nick. Aaaanyways...
...this is done every single time with any boxer that is dominating a weight. Me, like you, like Cotto and really REALLY hope he has what it takes to beat PBF but sadly, I just can't see Cotto doing it (hope I am wrong). Compare their speed, who's more prone to getting cut/bruised, who has better feet, who has faster hands, who has better defense/harder to hit, who has been rocked in almost every fight (even against journeymen) and who hasn't, who has shown more flaws and weaknesses, and so on.
First, people thought PBF would tremble whenever he heard the name "Margarito" and then he got lost so people forgot about him. Then it was Paul Williams "Oh, now this guy just needs to be polished and he'll be ready for PBF" and lost so no more Paul Williams. Who's next?
Can’t really think of anyone out there giving PBF a challenge but ODLH who is passed his prime and still have done more than anybody who is supposed to be in their prime that has gone in the ring with PBF, same thing with Castillo I. I would be interested to see Pac face PBF if they could.
