    Cotto he has a jab that Hatton doesn't, he has more power, he has more size, he took all Mosleys best shots (a better chin than Hatton)

    On the negatives he is more Orthodox and might not take Floyd out of his comfort zone and hasn't got as good footwork as Ricky and isn't as relentless.

    I'm finding it hard to pick against Floyd. What this fight did tell me though was that Cotto would definetely brutalize Ricky at 147 and I always had them quite close. His punch resistance is seriously questionable at that weight.

      My head says Cotto would do to Floyd what Duran did to Leonard in their 1st fight! Cotto could possibly stop Floyd late! My heart says Floyd will pop shot his was to a close UD! Cotto brings pressure, but he can also BOX! Ask Mosely about the Cotto jab! I hope they fight next year! It would help both of their legacys!

        Cotto is better off without a Mayweather fight. Let Mayweather retire (if he does) and let Cotto become the next undefeted king.

          I would love to see cotto win this fight it would be a tough fight do. But I see cotto beating floyd by desicion. Cotto is a smarter fighter than Hatton. Plus he cuts the ring better rather than chase thats what hatton did.

            He will do better than Hatton in actuality, but will not press the fight non-stop like that. Will last the diatance though, and has a much higher chance of landing more effective shots and possibly winning than Hatton. Close fight to call.

              So you're going for Floyd in this one? Otherwise you got your heart and head mixed up.

                floyd's gameplan is always to press the action in the first round.he gets his opponent thinking they're down so they can press the action then he picks'em to death,when they realize they don't wan't more[unless they've got a chin]he turns it on again.

                this might sound crazy,but if cotto starts off the first couple of rounds as the counter puncher,he'll make floyd press the fight,by the mid rounds it's gonna turn into a fight of who won the exchanges,im my opinion that's how cotto can win the fight.then again it's one thing to say it it's another to do it.
