    I think Miguel is going to get schooled bad, but will have some big moments. Floyd's going to play with him in the early rounds and go hard in the later rounds because it's no secret Miguel's stamina is lacking.

    Floyd will try to walk Cotto down early; IMO that's when Miguel has to go to work and back Floyd off and be the bully in there. If Floyd can't walk Cotto down he'll back off and attempt to pick Cotto apart. Cotto has to be the bully and out think Floyd in order to win. Very difficult task come May 5th.

    I seriously doubt Cotto has much chance. He is an absolute wairror though and will put up a fantastic fight, and get a nice payday for his effort.

    He can but its guna be unlikley. Hes got the power to do it but hes guna need a moment of brilliant timing to even get close. Hes never guna win this on points so hopefully hes guna be stalking and landing not just stalking and missing.

    Of course he can - Cotto is a proper dangerous fighter, he has the skills to certainly pay those bills.

    Fair play to Mayweather for firstly taking the fight, and secondly not asking for a *******-pussyboy catchweight.

    At 154 - Cotto takes the 0.

    Yeah he has to stay busy.

    It's possible but Miguel has lots of work to do.. Cardio, head movement n footwork will play key factors in him having any chance to win.

    With the right gameplan(s), the right mentality, and and a condition of 110%, he definitely has a shot.

    If I could pick anybody to take Mayweather's 0 it would be Miguel Cotto, probably my favourite fighter and boxing could do with more of his ilk. And I think he's got a chance, I think this fight is quite interesting in terms of how the styles are going to clash.

    The smart moneys on Mayweather to win a comfortable decision though, just too skilled.

    At 154 pounds I really don't think this is a mismatch at all.

    After 2 fights with Plaster hands n one with Pac I don't think Cotto fears anything.. He's battle tested and will come into the fight believing he can win, but he has a massive mountain to climb. Mayweather can't be beat physically alone, you have to beat him mentally as well.

    :yikes What?

    You must be a serious Floyd NutHugger!!!!!!
    Which one is it?

    Floyd going to play with Cotto in early rounds or walk him down!

    That shoulder roll will not help him in this fight.....Oscar controlled the fight until he abandonned the jab.
