    Oh and by the way Judah got in some solid lefts.

          Yo flav by the way do you think thats one of Cotto's gameplans ? I'm objective and realist just want your thoughts on that.

            Cotto has/had a vicious left hook but lately I haven't seen it being put to much use.

            But Mayweather's right is still used all the time

              He doesn't switch much anymore and he's not really all that effective doing it. Just because he switches southpaw doesn't mean he has a good straight left....definitely not one that's as good as the Judah of 2006's.

                    If he was sharper as a southpaw it would be a good idea, but he isn't. He wouldn't land anything.

                    To be honest....and I'm as big of a Cotto fan as there is....but x's and o's wise I really just don't think he has a chance. I don't see what he can do, from a strategic standpoint. Everything he's good at, Floyd's better at. Cotto will find some early success with his jab but eventually Floyd will time it and counter over it with his right hand, completely taking it away. Cotto's right hand, while back, still isn't good enough to land with any regularity against Floyd.

                    Floyd's length and sense of distance will render Cotto's offense completely ineffective by the mid rounds. I simply don't have the knowledge to come up with an effective gameplan for Floyd....probably why I'm not a trainer.
