    Ref/Corner stops the fight due to Cotto's cuts.

    I'm gonna go with Floyd by stoppage in 10. I think Floyd will move and fight a lot like he did with De La Hoya-He will be using his shoulder roll to block shots, and counter Cotto-

    Oscar had quicker hands and bigger shoulders than Miguel, plus he was taller..I see Floyd winning on accumulation or cuts in 10 rounds-Ref or corner stops it.

    Floyd by T/KO in 11.

    As far as a "technical analysis"...Floyds handspeed is going to show up very very early-He is going to be quick with his punches he'll leave Miguel swinging at air-

    Floyd will find that when Cotto goes on the balls of his feet, he'll be easy to pop with right hands. Cotto is going to have to come forward-if he boxes he'll be "outboxed" as his hand speed and his TIMING are not on the level of Floyds.

    Floyd will hold a big edge on DEFENSE AND on RING GENERALSHIP.

    Floyd will land the CLEANER PUNCHES, but I the EFFECTIE AGGRESSION is up for grabs by both men!

    With that said I think Cotto has the right timing to put Floyd on his ass in this fight-Timing that guys like Ortiz and Pacquiao don't have.

    This will be a complete and thorough ass whooping. Cotto can run from Margarito for 10 rounds, but he can't run from the new more aggressive Floyd for 12. Floyd by KO/TKO, and that's easy money.

    Oscar had quicker hands than Cotto? :think

    I think not, nothing Oscar has was quicker than Cotto (at the time)

    I am going to say Floyd in an exciting 12 round unanimous decision!

    Sorry buddy, Floyd is not the terminator steel jawed machine that Margarito is. That is why Margo can walk you down, yet in both fights with Cotto look at Margo's face.

    Cotto is slick enough and storng enough to pull this off. He's got a decent beard and is nearly as quick and almost as good a counterer than May.

    If May wins......more props to him....it'll be his best win since JLC.:deal

    I think cotto will suprise ALOT of people here. He will have a gameplan. FLoyd doesnt pressure or use volume(2 things Cotto has a prob with). So i thing it will be interesting.

    I have Floyd by stoppage. Nothing is guaranteed at 35 though. We don't know if Floyd will be the same fighter in previous fights.
