I think Cotto puts up just as much or more pressure than Hatton does but smarter, w/ that being said there is still no way Cotto could beat Money! He would get picked apart all night! We all know that Hatton has a better set of whiskers than Cotto, so it would probably be a quicker knockout simply because of the straight right hand and the check hooks that would land all night. Now I believe Cotto is stronger than Floyd so he would probably box Cottos ears off and stay away from alot of in fighting but Floyd could definitly knock him out on the outside if he doesn't hurt his hand and they looked pretty strong sat. night. Oh and another thing, did anybody catch how strong Floyds jab was? It looked like the jabs were as strong as the straight rights!Comment

what Shane said was if Mayweather Boxes him and doesn't feed into the fight angle of it then it can be easier for him, problem is how can it be "easier" when for Shane himself, a faster and stronger dude it wasn't easy? Shane did what he always does and thats flurry and press, Shane since the days of Lightweight has been a flurry kind of guy, he would throw a FAST flurry and just rock his opponents, his speed came in his repetitive punching and not so much his shot punches, he's always been fast but he basically did what he always does against Cotto, the crowd had nothing to do with it, NOTHING, at the end of the day Shane for almost 50 fights including his losses he was able to put adise the crowd and focus on his opponent so I ain't hearing that it had anything to do with the crowd, that is unfair to Cotto..
THIS is what happened, what happened is that Shane at first was hit early and didn't press, he didn't fall back but for the most part the role of the aggressor was Cotto, Cotto hit Shane with a few shots and the Shane in the 1st round took a step back and we saw a more stationed Shane, he struck when the time was right but for the most part he didn't take any chances to be hit, this is how it happened up until the middle of the fight where Cotto decided that it was clear he wouldn't knock out Shane, he abandoned the KO approach but punched with his same KO instinct, he didn't look for the KO he would have just taken any opportunity placed in front of him..
once Cotto decided to back up we saw Shane switch his **** up too but it had nothing to do with the crowd it was because he saw Cotto changing his game up, he saw Cotto go from aggressor to defensive and it weighed in on Shane's mind, it made HIM become the aggressor because he thought he could just jump on him, thought maybe okay this guy is pulling back for a reason so it's time to make him pay hence Shane became the aggressor for the 2nd half of the fight, in both instances shane lost, he lost as the Boxer and as the fighter, nothing to do with the crowd..
Cotto WONT be easier for Mayweather because dude can counter punch his ass off, he has a granite chin and will absorb everything Floyd has to give him and dish out his own, Floyd is fast but Shane and Zab are faster it's just Floyd is a defensive Boxer, he plays his part and lets you come at him while he counters you all day, Cotto ain't that ******, Cotto wont allow for Floyd to just bait him in those corners, Cotto doesn't waist punches and he doesn't just fludder forward, he has controlled aggression as he proved against both Shane and Zab and his patience will play the key, they BOTH have great jabs and each posses many things to beat eachother but Cotto has the advantage, there was a reason why those close rounds went to Cotto in the Shane fight and it wasn't corrupt judges it was that Cotto's punches always look cleaner even against reputed speedy fighters, dude is a beast, Cotto is WAY better than Ricky and we saw what reckless Ricky did to Floyd early on, you think thats not going to happen with Cotto? c'mon man give me a break.. 100Comment

No one can say that.....
Cotto can ****ing fight..no doubt about it..BUT Hatton has faster hands and has faster feet.
Now Combine what Hatton brings with Cottos power and that fighter would beat Floyd.
But Cotto only has the power..he needs the pressure like Haton had and the fast hands and fast feet.Comment

I think to simplify it that way does not appreciate what Cotto ultimately brings to the ring. His #1 strength is adaptability... he finds a way to win from the damn canvas if he has to. His body smash is nice and Mayweather can be beat. It only takes that one guy with his #. Ask Tyson about Buster...Comment
