Excuses to why Floyd lost before they even fight? Some people seem shook, if Cotto wins it would be because styles make fights and Floyd going to the pen had/will have a huge affect I think. He'll be bombarded with questions about it just because people want to see him lose, no BS. I'm not against this either I want to see Floyd lose as much as anyone else ESPECIALLY to Cotto I just don't think it will happen.
As far as his looming time as a jail bird, if it was any other fighter, it may/could be a problem or distraction. As far as floyd tho, i dont think that is the case, as floyd is a consummate pro. He's focused, and will show up to fight, there's too much on the line not to. And everybody and their brother knows floyd will not be in danger in with general population, but will be kept seperate in ad seg. Especially when you have a boat load of money, he doesnt have anythng to really worry about, itll just suck.
Floyd will show up to fight. If cotto beats floyd, its because styles make fights and cotto is the better man on that night.

Cotto used steroids, Cotto had handwraps, Cotto forced mayweather against his will to go to 154, Cotto used illegal handwraps... etc.
One of those I bet
A combo of a few things imo;
1. Cotto has his number (including fighting smart)
2. Cotto is better than people gave him credit for
3. Floyd is a tad older, becoming a tad more stationary
and possibly;
4. Styles make fights, and cotto is smart in not playing into floyds strengths.
5. Or cotto fights like the miguel of old (mosley,judah) and physically wears down floyd, is faster and more resilient than floyd thought, etc.
The better man won...No excuses on May 5th.
Floyd would be the heavy favorite so of course it would be so much of an upset that ppl will make something up.
Floyd is old
Floyd was shot but he is so good he disguise it
floyd didnt train
Floyd wasnt ther ementally cuz of the jail sentence
Cotto lives in Puerto Rico!
