The myth that you need to out jab Floyd to beat him has been debunked time and time again.
Only reason why Oscar had small success with it was his size.
but that got shutdown due to Floyd counter-punching.
Cotto don't have the size to pressure him with the jab.
people say oscar should have kept jabbing but it was Floyd that kept him from jabbing.
Same will happen with Cotto.
his jab will be shutdown

Floyd didn't win by throwing over anyones jab because Oscar hardly threw it, and because Oscar was JUST like Ortiz. He followed him until Mayweather sat himself in the ropes and then both of them just dropped their hands and starting swinging. Floyd then just straight right countered when they just got so excited they had Floyd in the ropes. He played them like a fiddle, the problem for Floyd is Cotto is smarter than both of those guys, especially now.
Yes, he did it against Manny and Clottey and gassed himself out. He also actually knows how to cut off the ring and won't be fooled OVER and OVER by that tactic. Look at what Cotto did to Judah, Floyd is not Zab Judah but their styles are going to be similar in the sense that Cotto will be the aggressor and Floyd will be countering. Zab got eaten alive by Cotto's jab because he THROWS IT ALL THE TIME and magically no one has been able to stop him from using it. Floyd CAN but saying "oh he'll just counter it" is ignorant because Cotto throws his jab like Floyd's right, he never pulls his shoulder back to throw it (like does with the right) and Cotto is always rolling his shoulders especially with his left hand. Floyd is fast but his right is not going to get there quicker than Cotto's left jab, sorry. BTW, this is why Cotto has a shot, he isn't a plodder like idiots make him out to be.
