    we didn't really get to see what Ortiz
    could really do against Floyd...

      This is how I feel. Cotto has very good timing. When I think of Cotto quick is one of the last things I think of.

        Im not talking about Cotto's speed to be supreme or anything like that, im just saying he is the quickest opponent on the other corner for Floyd since Judah.. Thats it.

            and you are wrong.cotto is not quick at all.............he has to plant his feet to throw punches,cant fight going backwards and quick is not a asset of his.he has good timing and a decent jab and a nice left hook....but his foot speed is slow and like i said he has to be planted to unload combo's.hopefully he stops holding his head so low or floyd will break out his uppercut right hand combo

                Thats not the point, im talking about who has been bringing speed to Floyd since Judah.. Name me just 1 fighter that could bring speed for 12 rounds to Floyd since 2006.. I know Cotto isnt a speedy freak boxer but Floyd has been limited facing speed from opponents since 2006.

                      I mostly agree, but he's not slow either IMO.

                      It's interesting at the beginning of the Pacquiao fight the HBO commentators were saying Cotto looked faster than Pac, but it was great timing and boxing ability that had him winning those earlier rounds, not necessarily speed.

                      Mosley has faster handspeed imo.
