    i thought hatton had the prefect style to match floyd, an infighter like castillo
    that is til mayweather showed he's inside game.

      It is just tough to see Cotto doing anything.

      People say he has a good jab, he does but Floyd has options to deal with it in that he has an excellecent jab combined with longer reach which also plays into being able to use the straight right counter over the top.

      People say go to the body, ok that is an easier target than the head and going after Floyd's midsection is a fairly good idea. Still that bring about getting hit in the head clean by hooks and uppercuts plus Floyd is pretty good at defending his body even on the ropes so even if he does a decent job to Floyd's body he will be giving away rounds while taking a lot of damage in return. Will he really be able to take advantage of his body work under such conditions?

      People say go in there and get after Floyd, ok Cotto is a stong talented offensive fighter with good pop. Cotto has leaky defense while Floyd is hard to hit, that right there makes it an uphill climb one guy will get hit freely while the other is not going to take near as much in return, does Cotto really have the ability to dish out 1 for 3 or 4 in return and come out ahead then throw in the fact that Cotto seems to be the more fragile guy.



      Cotto is a good fighter, I really don't think he is all that different from past versions but I just can't see him winning unless Floyd messes up bad or falls off a cliff getting real old virtually overnight.

        I agree, I would love nothing more than to see Mayweather get laid out but it's not going to happen. He's going to take Cotto to a place he's never seen and Cotto is not going to like it.

          Does cotto even have a chance at getting broner as a sparring partner? He is very mayweather-esque imo, and would be good for cotto to prepare for what he is gonna see.

            Miguel will stomp FMJr's head and will come out with the victory and Floyd's soul!

              new trainer and it's at 154

              sure he has a shot but this will be good sparring for mayweather

                We'll just have to find out on fight-night.

                  I don't have anything against Cotto at all, but I really don't see him doing well or even looking good in this fight.

                    I honestly cant see Cotto winning.

                    I'll be supporting Cotto 100 % on fight night, and I hope he can pull off the upset, but I just dont see it happening.
