    Mosley & DLH hit harder. Cotto will, however, be the best pressure fighter Floyd's ever been up against (with the possible exception of the smaller, slower Castillo).

    I think it's because he's a master counter-puncher and almost always has the speed/quickness advantage over his opponents. Good bodyshots require more commitment and naturally makes one more open to being counterd. Ortiz managed to sneak his body hooks in during the clinches, a range where counters don't take place.

    I see Floyd walking Cotto down after a couple of counter punches. Cotto will be in survival mode after that.

    zab - shane - ortiz and a few others have more p4p punching power...

    cotto is one of the better pressure fighters floyd has ever fought tho... I'll agree to that

    Cotto(e) is the perfect example of someone who has been given less to work with but managed to make it work for himself.

    He doesn't have an iron chin or massive power like Shane.

    No godly reflexes and quickness like Mayweather nor strength.

    No margarito(e) legendary endless stamina.

    No emmanuel kind of speed.

    To make it even harder he has a paper face.

    I would rate Mosley and DLH above Cotto in terms of power.

    Though I do see Mayweather getting hit/bruised in this one, Cotto's style won't be easy for Mayweather.

    Oscar is the only one who had Floyd's eye swollen and he couldn't even pull the trigger when they fought. Cotto doesn't have Oscar's powerful hook

    cotto used to push his punches in before he got decimated by margo...after that, he pulls his punches nowadays....
