If Floyd fights Cotto again, i'd like to see him outbox Cotto instead of outfight him. Mayweather purposely fought Cotto toe to toe because he promised the fans he would do that. Because of this, the fight was more exciting and Cotto was able to win 2 rounds as opposed to none. I don't watch Mayweather fights to get excited, I watch him to shut people out and outbox them. He showed in the first 4 rounds and the last 4 rounds, that his legs are fine. He was moving and outboxing Cotto pretty easily from rounds 9-12, if you really have no legs anymore, you can't move like that in the 9th, 10th and championship rounds.
But please, do not make this fight. I rather see Mayweather vs Canelo or Martinez. But neither of those fights are possible for 2012, since both fighters have fights in September. Floyd's options are very low.
Cotto vs Pacquiao is another fight that should not happen. Since Cotto will be forced to come down from his comfort zone of 154 and be weight drained against the catchweight king.
