What struck me in that bout was Oscar's ability to land the 1-2 over the top. Towards the end of round 11, he landed a searing one-two that shook Floyd a little. But quite honestly other than that I thought Floyd dominated while being economical.
    Definately lol!

    The more I think about a fight with Cotto, the more I think he would beat Floyd. A good stiff jab and repeated left hooks to the body would certainly by a way to beat Floyd.

    Speaking of body shots, I was surprised how many left hooks to the ribcage Oscar landed. He's not a particularly dangerous body puncher, but it makes you wonder what someone like Cotto could achieve.

      Mayweather beat Oscar at 154. Oscar best weight class. Manny fought Oscar at 147, a weight Oscar was not ranked nor had a title.

        Ha,ha,ha you guys are hillarious. DLH just ran out of gas, Mayweather couldn't ko him if they fought for 30 rounds.

          I always felt Mosley had a better chance at Floyd. Cotto simply gets hit way too much and doesn't always take it well. I think it would be a tough fight for Floyd but Floyd's toughness is underrated. He'll give and take (see Corley, Chavez, Burton) but his punches get a lot harder when he's putting full force into them. He nearly dropped Oscar in the fifth with two beautiful counters. I don't see Cotto standing up to that but I do think he'd make Floyd squirm.

              It would certainly be an interesting fight. Although you make a good point about Cotto's chin.

                    Floyd's power is underrated, but these nuthugger think he's the second coming of Julian Jackson because of the Corrales/Hatton KOs
