    I'm inclined to think that Cotto will be more relaxed against Floyd. Against Margo and Pac he hardly had time to breathe...there was always that offensive pressure coming in on the other end. Because of this he won't have the same stamina problems against Floyd the way he did against the 'forementoned pressure fighters. In fact the more I think about it, the more I'm liking Cotto's chances.

    actually Oscar threw more jabs after the 6th round than he did in the first 6 rounds....actually about 200 more jabs....so you might want to do your research before you start spewing out nonsense...

    I don't see Cotto doing any worse than Ortiz, Mosely, or Marquez, I'm expecting Floyd's toughest fight in a long time. Chances are he'll get slice and diced, but he's got enough skill and power to hurt Floyd.

    That's the problem, cotto likes breathing space, if he can't get it, then that's when he has problems. Cotto will always have more problems against a boxer like pacquiao than a boxer like floyd even though floyd technically is the better boxer. It's all about styles.

    Cotto has a good jab, he's a great body puncher even though he's not been as effective with his body punching, but he might just get the time to release those punches in this fight. I think it has the makings to be a really good fight especially as floyd ha sbeen getting caught more now.

    Could be a tougher fight for floyd than it would be against pacquiao as pacquiao rushes in more with bad balance at times.
