It doesn't matter @ what weight. Cotto is a tenderized meat of Margarito and Pacquiao.Deal with it.deal:deal But, I'm still rooting for Cotto to beat Floyd:yep
If mayorga can hit him with those wide looping punches imagine what pac, floyd, broner, and anyone else that's fast will do to cotto. When he gets hit he no longer answer back, he now retreats and sets back up again. Perhaps cotto can get a lucky jab in and hurt floyd. If he can't he's done.
Mayorga hits harder and didn't faze Cotto. Akward fighters land those type of shots. Mayweather pity pat puncher will not hurt Cotto ...he will laugh off his punches and punish Floyd's body and arms!!!
Cotto managed to win a belt and look OK in his fights at 154lbs but he is not a true 154lb fighter. Any look at the size of Alvarez, Kirkland, Angulo, K9, etc. will confirm this. If anything, the added weight may only have slowed him down. I wonder if there will be a hidden hydration clause of 155lbs for the fight. If they don't mention the day of weight, it could be a sign of this.
This means nothing! Mayorga put hands on everyone he has ever fought. Mayorga's punches come from very odd angles and are almost impossible to prepare in sparring for.
Mayorga's wild looping punches sure landed on Forrest...and Molsey. Does that mean those fighters were slow or had poor defence? You can't judge Cotto on that fight. People are bamboozled at this point because Floyd looked like a beast knocking out a dumb defensless Ortiz. Same thing happend when Pac KO'd a no-defence-at-all Hatton.
