    No.

    Mismatch imo.

    Jab, right hand over the top. Rinse repeat. Cotto has no answers for the right hand.

      Then he should've taken it when he had the opportunity.

            The Cotto that fought Mosley IMO could give Floyd a run for his money.

              Of course, Cotto probably would KTFO Floyd. That's why Floyd was ducking him.

                Cotto, to me, attempts to do what a boxer like Mayweather does to near perfection -control distance, pace, angles, adjustments, and timing. If Cotto is a boxer than Mayweather is an artist at this stuff.

                Cotto stops to take a picture, Mayweather would time him. He would also control the distance and angles so that Cotto would have no available target. Inside fighting also benefits Floyd, who is a better inside fighter than some give him credit for -remember Hatton -the guy whose forte was inside fighting?

                I believe this bout would be a complete mismatch.

                  It's common knowledge Arum didn't want to make Cotto-Mayweather for whatever reason. Cotto was ringside for the Gatti-PBF fight...he didn't want anything to do with Mayweather.

                    Floyd would have taken that fight years ago if he was confident about it. But floyd would have ask to remove the shishkabob out of cotto's diet to make it happen.

                    The KEY here,,, this fight should have happened YEARS ago and over with. At this point, we are talking what COULDA, WOULDA, SHOULDA have happened.

                      This made me laugh.
