    This might be an uneducated point of view, but given Floyds admirable talent and skill it's hard to see Cotto outbox him. I have a massive respect for Cotto, but he just aint on the same level. Thus it would be required for Cotto too hurt Floyd with single shots. Do you think he has the power and accuracy to do so? I rather view him as a potent pressure fighter.

    Cotto(e) lacks the explosiveness and unpredictability. Right hands can get Floyd. Cotto(e) is a converted southpaw lacking with the right

    Most likely Cotto will do what he dos best.........take a knee or run when faced with adversity

    Slim, Floyd won't let Cotto get close to him. He has a puncher's chance...but so do most...

    Floyd is not stupid in the ring, if he feels Cotto's power he will run as usual, and pick his spots. If Floyd under estimates Cotto, then Cotto may be able to connect and then, who knows?

    Pretty good if we're employing the MichiganWarrior definition.

    It's a good question. Makes me wonder when was the last time Floyd was floored? Can't remember, can someone post.
