    Sure Floyd could have won but I just see Cotto breaking him down and winning the decision.
    What fight were you watching?
    Sure the jab could pose an issue early in the fight but after a few rounds Floyd would start timing and countering.
    Cotto does not have the boxing skill to hang with Floyd for 12 rounds.

      PBF cleans up on Cotto and finishes him in the late rounds.

        Cotto causes Floyd problems with his jab early but Mayweather adapts and outboxes him the rest of the way.

        Cotto simply lacks the defense and skillset to compete with Floyd for 12 rounds.

          i voted cotto KO just for fun... but seriously floyd would win.. that said, floyd has to actually fight the fights to get credit for the win. you can't give floyd credit for beating cotto because he wins a poll.

            The problem with Cotto is when he is on the offense he gets hit to dry. He doesn't roll with the punch or gets into a defense posture to minimize the damage. He has a good chin and is able to take a lot of punishment till he is physically broken down. He does pretty well once he goes on his back foot but he is naturally to left foot heavy. Mayweather would slice him up in the end of the fight
