    Well, Cotto is something else you have to deal with. He likes coming forward, so it wasn't really a situation where Mosley had to cut the ring off because both Cotto and Mosley were engaging. Oscar cut the ring off on Mayweather (slightly) because that's Floyd's MO, he can fight going backwards and was waiting to hit Oscar with counters (which he eventually did). Oscar's mistake was he tried mauling Floyd which gave Floyd plenty of opportunities to land. I don't think it was a situation with who has (or had) better legs more than two guys (Cotto and Oscar) having completely different styles to match against.
