Speed - Mayweather>Cotto - Mayweather is P4P the fastest all around fighter, in reflexes, foot speed, and hand speed (second to Judah only in hands).
Power - Mayweather<Cotto - Cotto has shown his superior power in all his fights taking it with him to WW by knocking out 4 out of 5 fighters he faced at 147, including a common opponent in Judah.
Stamina - Mayweather=Cotto - They have both proven their stamina as I have never seen neither tired. They consistenly throw the same number of punches being able to turn the production up later in the fight.
Chin - Mayweather>Cotto - Floyd has never been hurt or put down by a blow at any weight class. Cotto has been hurt and down at 140, but shows a better chin at 147 (even though he was stunned by Judah a couple times in their fight).
Body - Mayweather<Cotto - Miguel took really hard body shots from Mosley and kept strong throughout the fight, while JLC seemed to take away PBF' legs away.
Defense - Mayweather>Cotto - Money is contested only by Hopkins in who has the best defense of all active boxers.
Bodywork - Mayweather<Cotto - Cotto is the best body puncher in the game, getting numerous knockdowns and knockouts with bodypunches, also wearing down fighters who refuse to go down. Mayweather' bodypunching is underated as he can go to the body when he knos he's gonna need to, but he mostly uses it to get fighters to lower their guard.
Intangibles - Mayweather=Cotto - Floyd can box and put pressure in the middle of a fight, Miguel can do the same. Cotto' heart and determination is unquestionable, he can come back from losing rounds and being knocked down to knockout. PBF' boxing IQ is second only to Hopkins, he's able to follow his corners' direction to a tee, and has showed his heart and unwillingness to lose.
I know this should be a thread but theres all ready a bunch, so F it. What do yall think?

I agree with u 99%, IMO i think Cotto has gotten better in the defense department(as seen at the Mosley fight) he looked a little like Floyd when he fought DLH, he took some shots then he gave some shots, but even dough their defense are totally difrent i think it protects them equally, but besides that ur right on the money.....
