    This will be interesting,we saw Floyd on the ropes a few times vs Ortiz.although Ortiz did not have success connecting,and I don't think Cotto will connect more,but he could put some pain on him to the body..

    Mayorga,Pac,Clottey, have admitted he is one of the hardest punchers they fought.. Will Floyd after the fight look fresh faced as usual,or you think he might walk out a lil bruised??

    Doesn't matter. Black skin hides a lot of bruising.

    Oscar at 154 could rip, especially with his left hook.

    Ortiz did get in a few good right hooks on Floyd's body

    Floyd is a titanium bodied hero though

    DLH, Mosley, Ortiz, Corrales, Castillo, Judah all had tremendous punching power.

    what do you mean? Oscar got Mayorga out pretty fast at 154. Cotto(e) took forever

    YES, Cotto WILL be the heaviest shots that Mayweather has ever taken. Simply because Mosley could barely hit him aside from those 2 shots that he landed. Cotto has the ability and accuracy to potentially land more shots. Mayweather will have to respect Cotto's power, but I expect Mayweather to neutralize Cotto quite effectively. Either way, for me, a Rican, this fight is a dream come true. Been wanting Cotto to share a ring with Mayweather for a long long long time! WAR COTTO

    I think Shane has more power.

    Not to mention Cotto does not really throw bombs as these days due to him turning more into a pure boxer and less of a boxing brawler.

    I cant see him landing much throughout the fight if truth be told. Well not after round 6 anyway.

    I expect Mayweather to be on his toes for maybe 3 rounds, but after that he is going to be super aggressive and win via TKO.

    I just think Mayweather is all wrong for Cotto. That combined with the handspeed difference = a very bad night for Cotto.

    The thing with Floyd is that no one goes to his body enough. He has a rib sticking out on his left side from a sparring incident that delayed his fight with Marquez. Everyone tries to head hunt him.
