Even if Mayweather fought and beat Cotto

[amat]

Sorry JT but Cotto at 147 is way more of a risk then De La Hoya at 154. De La Hoya isn't a pressure fighter so he couldn't even use his size to his advantage. Oscar had Floyd on the ropes a bunch and he looked very poor. The best thing De La Hoya had going for him was his jab and his defense, and a jab and defense is never going to beat Floyd. The size was a complete non factor in that fight. Cotto actually has a pressuring style with the ability to not be overwhelmed by the skills of Floyd.

And I don't buy that De La Hoya beats Cotto either no matter what the weight, what makes you think that? Forbes got to De La Hoya, Mayweather hurt De La Hoya with a couple uppercuts and at this point in his career, De La Hoya just can't match Cotto offensively. I think it would be a lopsided fight.

Who wouldn't want to see Mayweather-Paul Williams assuming Mayweather beat Cotto? Mayweather has a real chance to make his resume (which is all ready very good don't get me wrong) stack up to his abilities, he has a great chance in the next couple of years if he wants too. Even though nobody really wants to see ODLH again that's not a bad win any way you look at it, and then there's so much at 147, what if he beat ODLH, Cotto and Williams back to back? That's probably wishful thinking but why not give it a try? Its not like the guy's old, he's got the rest of his life to produce shitty rap albums and throw money up in the air.

Sorry I disagree wholeheartedly... a pressure fighter is tailor made for Delahoya.. Delahoya would trouble Cotto with the Jab and I think Oscars jaw would fair better in the exchanges...

Cmon Amat of course Delahoya's size is a non factor against a slick speedy defensively sound fighter.. Oscar is at his absolute best when he dosent have to find you.

I agree, for a fighter of his experience, going for headshots was a total waste of punches.
