mau fau....I can see your logic regarding the Cotto beating Mayweather, I had it a draw,,but clearly 9th and 10th were mosly rounds,,,which it appears to me that you had Mosley winning those rounds too.
My main point is that Cotto would clearly be the best fighter Mayweather fought at Welterweight, but unless his power overwhelms Mayweather (which I do not see happening) his style is perfect for Mayweather...Perfect. He does not apply relentless pressure as would have been Hatton only chance...He applys pressure via punching, which vs most fighters is the best way,,,That is what makes Cotto so entertaining and such a feared fighter, but vs Mayweather razor quick counters, which includes left hook leads and right leads,,then Mayweathr getting out of there with lateral movement or avoiding counters by employing eithe the shoulder roll or his very effective style of lunging down towards the canvass out of harms way like sweat pea would do. It may seem awkward but it works.....
All night long Cotto would catch shots from Mayweather as he came in behind his very good jab....That would be the one thing he has working for him...However, we all know that Mayweathers training is the best ever...and if anyone would come in prepared for the Cotto surprisingly accurate and fast jab..it will be Mayweather.....
Cotto would have to fight like duran did in Monteal or like Hatton did the first 3-4 rounds with more body work,,and not allow him self or Mayweather punching distance..cuz Cotto is quick, but not like Mayweahter and if Mayweather gets punching range...its a long night for Cotto. He will have to smother Mayweather, and thus this will nullify much of his effectivness tooo. That is why it is not a great match up for Cotto
