    Cotto's not really fast but his timing is excellent. That's how you beat someone with Floyd's speed.

      Unfortunately Floyd has ridiculous timing WITH speed.

        but floyd is the timing king and his timing is what makes him look faster than he really is cause he has slowed down alot

          Doesn't matter because cotto is still slower than Floyd, it's not even close. PAC and Floyd is more similar in terms of speed and quickness.

            another thing is Cotto keeps the same rhythm throughout the entire fight and that will be tragic

              yeah timing beats speed, trouble for Cotto is that Floyd has timing and speed

              one thing in Cotto's favour is that based on recent fights he appears to have better movement around the ring whereas FMJ has looked more static standing in front of his opponent

                Ortiz was the last opponent Mayweather had that had an equal or greater physical advantage, but we couldn't see a full fight. Cotto to me has always been a tab bit slow.

                    He doesn't have a lot of it, it's not his best weapon, and it won't be one of his assets in this fight.
                    bingo and IMO we should be talking about Cotto's timing rather than speed because in this fight it will be about how well Cotto times Mayweather in gauging whether he will be successful

                    if he is relying on speed he's screwed

                      I'm not saying the opponents were great but it takes a lot of energy to keep moving and boxing at this high level and for the most part younger fighters find it easier than older ones, Cotto has this in his arsenal.
