Just because you're older doesn't mean your worse, look no further than Hopkins. Since Cotto has met with Steward and Diaz he's gotten smarter as a fighter while his physical prime has/is fading, again this doesn't make you a worse fighter. Cotto can pull it off because he has good boxing ability and while this helps him against Manny, I think it hurts him against Floyd. That isn't to say he doesn't need his great technique, footwork and jab that he has now but he needs both. He is going to also have to come at Floyd aggressively at times as well, eat shots and just be relentless like he used to be. Like keep coming forward with a busted lip while the ref is trying to hold you back in the Judah fight. I remember Steward saying Cotto is the one that got hit but he is the one interested in wanting to fight, this is the Cotto that needs to show up with his current boxing IQ to win. I give Cotto a good shot, but I never picked against Floyd and I'm not about to now.

Freddie Roach-"Miguel hasnt been the same since Margarito ruined him".smh Funny thing is you you upped Roach by first calling Cotto Manny's leftover's then once the Floyd vs Cotto fight was made, you changed your mind and said it's a good fight. Maybe Larry = Roach? Just asking ....

So explain how Cotto wasn't good enough for Floyd when Cotto was making his famed WW run, but now, according to floyd, Cotto is one of the best fighters in the world right now? Especially after getting destroyed by Pac and Margo. obviously he left top rank and BAM THE FIGHT WAS MADE

at first i wanted to give floyd credit for facing cotto after he avooided him for years like the plauge !!!!!!! but then i thought to myself .... "treason1" floyd is not facing the same cotto who manny fighted that was still in his prime !!!! he is facing a cotto who is now a shell of his former self !!!!!! a ccotto who has been mentally and physically abused by the likes of manny !!!!! manny beat him worse than margarita did and margarita had plaster in his wraps !!!!!!!! anyway win of loose votto will still at the end of the day have a much better resume than mayfeather and he can retire knowing he didnt duck and dodge anyone like mayfeather did !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and another dynamic of the fight that hasnt been mentioned yet is fat joe and 50 cents !!!!! they dont like each other and im sure they will Freddie Roach-"Miguel hasnt been the same since Margarito ruined him".smh
