    I feel they both have the tools to beat Floyd (at welterweight).

    For Cotto, his technical pressure.

    For Forrest, his long-range boxing ability.

    i know forrest messed up mosley at 147 but i think floyd for some reason wouldnt let forrest get the best of him

    cotto would def apply pressure but whether he can land anything of signifigance is the million dollar question

    cotto would get eaten up just like hatton, but has a better punchers chance given his size, although he, like hatton, is smaller then floyd.
