    Its ricky hatton vs Mayweather all over again, expect to see a spectacular knockout by Floyd.

    TKO maybe Ty a straight KO ? Nah . The UD to Lil Floyd is my prediction but during this fight Floyd will be badly rocked at some stage , mark my words Cotto will have some joy around the 7th but Floyd will recover and march on .

    Im a huge Cotto fan too but I just think Floyd will break him down before the ref stops it. I meant TKO not straight out knock out too.

    Cotto so slow and bad even a faded Mundine will give him a run for his money. Just watched the 24/7 episodes and it appears Cottos corner was working hard on his agility speed and stamina. You are born with speed, either you have it or you dont.

    Cotto will be beaten to the punch the whole night and when Cotto gets hit a few times in the later rounds he will revert to his brawling style which is perfect for Mayweathers counter punching style.

    Cotto's best bet is to do a Hopkins. Foul the **** out of Mayweather to put him out of his comfort zone. A few low blows, head butts, kidney punches, back of the head punches and elbows. Even if he has points taken off its fine. Cotto is never going to win on points anyway. Then get up close and swing like crazy hoping something lands when Mayweather decides to get into a street fight.

    My prediction is a late round Mayweather TKO ala Pacman v Cotto.

    i think mayweather has alot more power than pacman and pacman almost launched cottos head to the moon with an awsome uppercut. Sure Cotto is tough but so was ricky hatton. Floyd is looking to top what pacman did so he wont want nothing short of a KO which he will be setting up the entire night. :good

    I'd love to see Cotto win, but he won't.

    Floyd was a tactical mastermind as usual. Was suprised to see him take that break in the middle rounds and eat shots.

    Yeah he copped a bloody nose but jeez he was good. Wonder what he will do after his 90 day jail stint? Nice to see him and Larry Merchant kissed and made up.

    Mosley looked like hes done. Floyd looked as if no one can beat him. Would put a heap of money on him to beat Pac if they fight. Cotto fought a good fight, even made a few adjustments during the fight but just wasnt as good as Mayweather.

    Even got to see Mayweather praise his opponent and show some humility, suprised me.

    i don't think he took a break, i think he was becoming more confident that cotto could not ko him, so he tried to entertain viewers due to constant criticism about him being boring to watch for the casual viewer.

    and as a bargaining chip for his 60/40 pacman split.
