    Seriously, his pushing and manhandling Mosley, and just appearing the stronger man in that fight.... surprised the **** out of me.

    Good intro take on the fight. Totally agree.

    What is Cotto's path to victory? He won't outbox Floyd. He isn't a pressure fighter. He isn't a big puncher. He has no path to victory. This is going to be an easy night for Floyd.

    One sided Floyd win. Cotto is not a monster, nor is he a complete package at 154. Obviously that Margo win has done a lot in helping overrate Cotto at the weight. In fact, it's Cotto lack of youthfulness and vitality that will be the issue. The old Cotto who ripped left hooks to the body and fought far more aggressively would be far more suited. Cotto has rejuvenated mentally since knocking the devil off his shoulder (Margo), but his style and attributes are far too relaxed at this stage of his career. I like Diaz, but I don't envision how Diaz can map out a way for him to fight Floyd. By the looks it feels like Diaz will help Cotto boxing, moving, and giving angles in the Cuban type style of fighting. This is not the proper method of approaching Mayweather. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Ortiz for his youth and liveliness is far and away more of a threat than anyone Mayweather fought since Oscar/Hatton. This is assuming he's in the right frame of mind which obviously derailed that notion. But attributes, youth, speed, power, and style are all better suited for Mayweather than Mosley or Cotto by far. Cotto is just not the vicious fighter he was at 140-147.

    He steps into his jab a lot...he does not paw such as Shane Mosley does with it. Mosley is a perfect example of a fighter who "paws" with his jab.

    Cotto steps right into his jab sometimes...could help him...or hurt him if Floyd still has those reflexes.:good

    I still don't understand why many people tried to analyse this fight. We all know that Cotto has no chance to beat Mayweather. It wastes of your time.

    Right! You mean a "pawing" jab that sat a 170 pounder-ripped Clottey on HIS ASS!!! :deal Clottey is way bigger and muscular than Margacheato or Floyd...
    Meaning, his jab aint no pawing, its a real punch- and best weapon of the night for Miguel.
    Double and triple jabs combined with left hooks would give Floyd and difficult night...
