so i thought i'd share it here since i rarely let my serious side come out here anymore (toooo many idiots)

first of all, i dont think mayweather's gonna blow cotto out, or even stop him. At 154, cotto looks so complete it's scary. But, he is facing the best of the best and i do think mayweather will win a 8-4 type of decision, but my boy cotto will give him hell. It isn't gonna be easy for floyd to cruise, cotto's just to versatile for that. Cotto will be game throughout the whole fight imo, but will come up a little short when duty calls. If cotto can keep that jab in floyds face, and work the body (instead of aiming at the face like 98% of floyds opponents have, the 2% being castillo) when floyd gets in the shoulder roll position, then he can do some serious damage and maybe even win the fight (wishful thinking haha, i've been wanting cotto vs may since 140lbs). Cotto cannot afford to lose focus and allow himself to get hit while he's swinging. The reason is that quick punches sometimes hurt more than hard punches, and that'll be critical for someone like cotto who has an ok, not great chin. Bro, if cotto can remain calm and try to outbox floyd, i think it's very possible that he can win. People forget that cotto was also and amateur star, and olympic standout. He has a lot of ko's cause he can crack, but he is by no means a brawler like many think. Now, my experience tells me to side with the more consistent of the two, and that my friend is mayweather. Cottos heart to date has been his worst enemy, and i think that floyd has the ring generalship and mentality to bring that out of cotto. Mayweather is playing it cool by "respecting" cotto right now, but i think that's a gameplan. We all know when cotto gets worked up during the press tours etc etc (margo 2, and mayorga) he uses that as a time to soak in all the bs, and come fight night he's prepared and experienced with his opponents mind games. Floyd uses mind games in and outta the ring, but in this particular fight he's chosen to stay quiet and respect him so that come fight night, he will break cotto down mentally in the ring since it'll be almost impossible to do it physically........my prediction is floyd ud 116-112

This doesn't erase your Rios meltdown, you know that, right?

Damn good post, Freddy. We think along the same lines.

I think Cotto acquitted himself well on Saturday; right about what I expected.
