    He didnt push for the KO at all. ANd he hurt his hand against baldomir, who i might add, has an iron chin.

    ANd JUDAH is a better fighter then Cotto. And he has a different style. Cotto comes forward and jumps right inside.

    Cotto would get eaten alive if he fought agressive. Maybe 8th or 9th round stoppage.

    But he more then likely wont do that, unless Cotto pisses him off pre-fight

      Ill reserve judgement until after Cotto vs Judah

        ehm cotto's chin has been "shaken" (understatement) before so dont count that out

        I think that with cotto's sustained attack and his impressive power, floyd would fight defensively and take a UD

          I have stated many times that I think Cotto has the goods to beat Mayweather. He just needs to prove it on a higher level. If he wins his next two fights, I dont see why we can't favor Cotto in the fight. As for right now, I think Mayweather would win a close UD.

            If there is a fighter out there that can give Floyd trouble its going to be Cotto. At this point, he's not quite a good enough boxer, but he's getting better every fight. The thing you have to love about Cotto is that he doesn't rely solely on his power like some guys. Give him another 2 or 3 fights against some skilled competition and it would be a great matchup. As of right now, Floyd wins a fairly easy UD.

              Yeah I also think as of right now from what I've seen of Cotto Floyd by a comfortable UD. This isn't a knock on Cotto however, I see it as Floyd just being too good and also me not seeing Cotto beat somebody with a similar style AND a level of talent as FLoyd. I think the Judah fight will answer alot of questions about a potential Cotto-Mayweather matchup. Alot of people forget about the first JLC-Mayweather fight. I think Cotto and DLH are the ones with the best chances of beating Mayweather. And I see both trying to use a similar blueprint to JLC, swarm and make Floyd fight an actual gritty, dirty fight, not dance and potshot all night for a UD.

                yes but it seems that the people who remember the first JLC-PBF fight, forget the second one.

                jlc gave him a very tough fight in their first fight, but it seems quite clear from fight 2 that pbf found the solution to those problems.

                      well Baldomire has titanium chin.

                      and Zab Judah has a moving glass chin
