    I think Floyd's defense is still really good, but I question how much he's really going to push the fight to Cotto. I honestly don't see it happening as much as most of his fans think he'll walk Cotto down with no problem. You can look at both Mosley and Ortiz fights where he began walking them down, but what's the one thing neither of those fighters have...a solid jab. Sure, there's always the ever popular pull counter, but you also have to look at how he pulls that off, against guys w/ no jab. Cotto throws double and triple jabs that will make it harder for Floyd to land that punch clean, also without him getting hit as well. He's going to land lead rights on Cotto, but I think Floyd's going to play it safe and try to win on points.

      Floyd stood right there. He didn't have to move. Mosley is still faster than Cotto and he landed 2 "lucky shots" early on but when Floyd adjusted (moments later), he shut Mosley out.

      Floyd Stands right in Mosley's face.

        nah cotto's best punch is his left hook...floyd dont get hit with left hooks....cotto's right hand is inconsistent and not very good...so i doubt he'll hurt floyd

                  cotto has better timing and a better jab than mosley

                      Mosley punch wasnt lucky. that was his game plan. throw to the mid section with the left follow by a haymaker with the right.
