We'll see what happens.
I can see Floyd walking Cotto down. Probably not right away, but eventually he will start to.

He'll stand infront of him but box, that's what he always does.
When Cotto keeps missing and Mayweather keeps landing, he'll back up. It's what he does.

Floyd won't have a problem if Cotto try to fight that way, Cotto will just be throwing jabs and then few hooks in spots when Floyd stop moving, but Floyd will find openings because Cotto tend to positioned himself where he can easily be hit by the straight right hand. Cotto looked faster than usual against Margarito, but so have every other opponents that have fought Margarito.

I'm pretty sure Floyd comes forward, just like I see Cotto coming foward. I see both fighter's having to occasionally take steps back to dodge punches.
