I honestly just don't think it's a good style for Ortiz. He has yet to face a good jabber and he has no jab himself(Floyd has a great jab but just doesn't really throw it). I think you're overrating his speed a little bit.....as far as I'm concerned Cotto has faster hands.
Ortiz's head would be snapped back repeatedly. He'd try and bull rush his way inside but Cotto's punches are shorter and more compact as is his body. This is a fight where I see Cotto go back to being able to work the body on the inside, he doesn't tuck his elbows in like Marg, Clottey, and Pac(pac did this against Cotto).
The only thing that worries me is his high chopping right hook. That could land on Cotto's temple and seriously fcuk him up. Other than that I actually think it would be a very clear win. Late stoppage likely.
