Everyone with a brain knows Floyd who is a genius in that ring will and Should be favoured, i'll leave bigging him up to u guys for now though and im just gonna give my man Miguel Cotto HIS props....
Cotto has only TWO losses. One to a proven cheater that was avenged and one to Pacquaio (a PED user? I wont go there!) when he had no trainer! Was still clearly in the recovery process from the Tony loss and had to cut extra weight in another of these ****** draining catchweight fights.
Going into the Mayweather fight Cotto has his Mojo back, after exorcising the ghosts of the Margarito defeat in his last fight, winning by TKO, and getting back to winning ways. Since the Pacquaio loss he has had 3 fights all for titles and all wins, none going the distance. He believes he is Back and he is at full confidence again. Im also very impressed with his new trainer Diaz from what admittedly little ive seen. This Mayweather fight is being fought at 154lbs, advantage Cotto - he is the naturally bigger man and wont have to deplete himself cutting weight. Migs will be the physically stronger man in the ring come May 5th and that could count, Mayweather can bring pressure but even if he does its not done with volume punching which seems to be Cotto's biggest achilles heel. Floyd also one would imagine must have his mind on his impending jail sentence, it cant be ideal training for a world title fight with that hanging over your head...
Stylistically Floyd is a handful for anyone Cotto included but Miguel brings some problems of his own to the table for Mayweather. A strong jab, shot out accurately and with excellent timing. A Vicious Hook to the body. Physical Strength. An ability to cut the ring off expertly should Money get on his bike and finally imo the right blend of patience and fire.
Fighting Mayweather is the ultimate, its Cotto's shot at eternal glory, he will come prepared and will come to win. This imo is a two horse race
