    Nobody in the game, be it Solomon or Forbes can do Floyd's reflexes. There will be times when Floyd is against the ropes shoulder rolling. So Clottey can do that fine. Nothing anyone can do will help prepare for Floyd's reflexes so the best Cotto can do is look to tapes and pull out the habits that Floyd has when he moves and try to anticipate. Kell Brook is a decent choice but it'd be good to offset the qualities that Clottey would bring.

    Plus given their history, I think Clottey would you know, actually work him. The last time Cotto was in a life and death war was against Clottey.
    See, I don't think he can just do that fine when he has literally never done that before.

    His style of defense is nothing like Floyd's...the others don't have the reflexes of Floyd, true, but they move like Floyd and have the same defensive habits as Floyd cause they have been trained similarly. Clottey literally just stands there in his shell until he sees an opening...completely different.

        Floyd made a mistake by coming out of retirement.

              If Floyd does stay in the pocket, Cotto will be a bloody mess! Floyd is one of, if not the best in accuracy there is in the game.

                  Yea man, I see Floyd as a different fighter, he doesn't move as much but that might not be good for his opponents because he stands there and destroys them.

                  I see this fight ending in the 8th via tko stoppage. Cotto's face is going to fall apart.

                    The point about sparring is to try to emulate your future opponent's style. Floyd is orthodox, fast and has that shoulder roll defense.Why am I seeing southpaws being named? Judah lol and Dawson WTF? And Clottey? He fights NOTHING like Floyd.

                      To me he'll always have a chance and I'll never count him out.
