First: Marquez and Judah are not what I would consider slow fighters..as a matter of fact Marquez hung with Pacquiao twice. Mayweather just has exceptional speed.
Second: Only recently has Mayweather been the larger guy in the ring but if you look at most of his fights he is not the larger guy. As a matter of fact he was the same size as Judah for that fight and smaller than De La Hoya(poosy).
Third: Cotto and Mosley(lol). You can't be serious ! Cotto is a good fighter and I LOVE to watch his fights because they are always good but he would be destroyed by Mayweather due to his speed and precision. Cotto would not be quick enough to counter Mayweather's punches and due to his poor fighting stance he would get rocked. Also he's been knocked down by lesser fighters than Mayweather.
Mosley is just an over the hill guy with no jab and not quick enough reflexes to hang with Mayweather. Mosley just needs to stop. His fight against Cotto was terri-bad !

love it!!! actually an argument that has boxing sense!!! here are MY opinions:
on First: judah is not known to be slow because he can neutralize an opponents speed with his boxing... however, you cant say that he was fast enough to give mayweather a harder time locating him.. in their fight i actually think that judah was just letting floyd hit him first and punish him by countering... in the end mayweather was still faster and was connecting more, which wore out judah... hmmm... come to think about it, both judah and marquez are similar ... the reason they do not seem slow is because they counter so well and can take the initial punches of the opponents.. see the diaz fight... so compared to pac i think they are still slower
on second: i was really highlighting the speed of pac not size.. all am saying is that pac's speed and style sets him apart from other opponents that mayweather has faced.. thats why it would not be a blow out as much as some people think it would be for either pac or floyd... which is why it would be a classic fight... if it ever happens
on third: yeah, i personally don't think mosley has shown me enough to say that he will beat mayweather... all i know is that mayweather has dodge those two guys because it will be difficult fights for floyd... for mosley, the fact that he can pretty much take a lot of punches and still has an above average speed will make it harder for mayweather... but i will still pick floyd over mosley... in contrary, i whole heartedly think cotto can whoop floyd if he gets a better trainer or go back with his uncle or something... simply because cotto has a punishing jab which he connects (which he was actually landing on pac but just did not know what to do with it after that)... at this point though he also need to get his head straight and go back to the mindset he had prior to the margarito fight.. which is more reason why he needs a better trainer...
