    I don't. Floyd won't be on the backfoot like that. Cotto(e)'s right hand isn't that good. He's much more one handed.

    I think we're gonna see the right hand come out much more for this fight.

    I don't.

    Like Leon says, Floyd won't be defensive enough to allow Cotto to do any of that.

    Also, that Castillo blueprint is so badly out of date.

    I definetly see it happening. I'm not a Mayweather or Pacquaio fan, and that thread about Cotto being shot is hilarious, a bunch grown as men argueing about Cotto being shot because of their love for Mayweather and Pacquaio and taking it personal. :lol: :rofl Either way, Mayweather fans won't have any excuses because Roger Mayweather has went on the record and has said Floyd hasn't looked as sharp as he is now since the Corrales fight. So that means if Cotto pulls off the upset or fights a close to even fight, THERE WON'T BE ANY EXCUSES. Period!!!!!

    We seen glimpses of it in his last fight with Margarito. So yea I agree, we will see it and he has a very good trainer to make sure he not only uses it but other tools at his disposal. Prepartion is everything going into a fight, the fighting is always the easier part.

    Horrible comparison! First Cotto doesn't have the durability of JLC and second he doesn't have a right hand.:deal

    i said it before...i'll say it again....this is going to be floyds toughest fight since castillo. i think cotto is a much better fighter than castillo with way more capabilities and weapons.

    I hope you are right. The key thing in the Castillo video that I see Cotto doing is throwing one or two accurate shots when Floyd is in front of him. Too many fighters (Ortiz) try to throw combos (probably out of frustration) that don't land a single solid shot.

    cotto is no stranger to feints....body work to set up head shots...he has a much better jab than castillo. he's heavier handed....he throws in combination much better than castillo...and he has better hand and foot speed.

    this is going to be a helluva fight! i cannot wait. props to floyd for making it.

    i think cotto throws more accurate shots than the other guys. also...cotto is no stranger to setting shots up. he understands how to throw in combination to create an open shot. he'll be doing that big time against floyd.
