No but his jab did !! Anyone who saw that fight knew that ..And how could Oscar have caught him with a left hook when all Floyd did was back peddle ..I'd love to see him nuetralize Cotto's attack ..One thing that Cotto won't have a hard time finindg is MW's ribs count on that !
Just Cottos posture would give floyd some problems. Like Jesus Chavez. He cant throw those overhand rights. Or he would hurt his hands on the top of the dome. Hatton is easy work but Cotto is a toss up match. TO THOSE THAT KNOW BOXING.
cotto floyd is going to be one of the best fights of all time !!! people are doubting floyd's heart .. thing is floyd has a huge heart he's just devilishly smart .... He see's his dad all punch drunk and his uncle so he doesn't want to end up like them so in turn when he's in the ring if he can get away with outclassing his foe without much fire in return then he will do so which is smart although not entertaining to the common fan, However he can go to war if need be and i think cotto will bring that out of him and provide a classic fight that could go either way
I'll have to go with Cotto in a upset. He'll keep Floyd defensive enough just so Mayweather can survive a 12 round close but clear decision loss.
What you fail to realize is that PBF doesn't have to stand and trade with Cotto to beat him. He could simply outbox Cotto and fustrate him with his speed and movement all night long he has the ability to do this and there's nothing Cotto can do to stop it if he chooses to do it. He has the stamina to box a full 12 rounds if need be and won't fade down the stretch. People always are quick to underestimate PBF's chin and tougness when he's never shown any signs in the ring to give you doubt.
You obviously never watch Cotto fight. Cotto negates speed better than anyone in boxing. Mayweather would be a human punching bag.
I like Floyd don't get me wrong but Cotto's skill youth determination and jab would Floyd all the fits in the world ..I like his chances since no one has been able to stop Cotto dead in his tracks ..And Floyd has nothing to keep Cotto Honest ..
Cotto has a good shot if he can slow down Floyd to the body and jab effictively but he would still need a KO and I don't know if I see him catching Floyd flush enough to score one. He probably hurt PB on more than one occasion so its really a matter of how Floyd reacts to being hurt, if he opens himself up and gets caught then Cotto is your winner. I would take PBF UD as I can't see him mixing it up with Cotto and scoring a KO. Mayweather is a great boxer and tough to hit so I would say Cotto has about a 30% chance of ko'ing him, which isn't that bad. Would be a fun fight to watch IMO.
Cotto's efforts would generate a similar result: This content is protected Floyd isnt going to stand there with his hands at his waist and continue to keep them down after eating a jab like Mosley.
Before the fight last night, what would you say were his chances of knocking out Mosley? To be honest, if he couldn't knock out or even put down Shane I don't see how he could to so to Floyd.
Basically what Cotto did the last 4 rounds is what Mayweather does to win every fight...damn, I gotta give Mayweathersexuals a parachute for when they hop off Mayweather's dick.
