If he tried that against Floyd he'd eat a sharp right hand counter that would stop him in his tracks.

In the beginning, sure. Cotto will have some success with it in the beginning, but Floyd will take it away as soon as he has his sense of distance down.

Pac took it away eventually, Floyd will take it away easier.

why does is it that he jumps hard like he's flying whenever he shoots his jab?

Pac didnt take it away, he was able to counter it here and there. Easy(ier) to do when you're a southpaw and quick with your lead hand. Floyd isnt a southpaw, his countering hand for the jab (right hand) is further away. Floyd is a crazy good counterpuncher, so im guessing he will be able to counter it from time to time, but cotto's jab WILL be landing may 5th. Cotto's a great jabber, has good speed/range with it and throws it at awkward times.

Especially if cotto's right hand shows up to the fight, which judging by his training videos, it will. This will open up his left hook, along with make mayweather be a little more tentative on trying to counter the jab. Add in some body work and patience and we have a great fight.
