    Cotto beating Floyd > Tito "beating" Oscar. That's all there is to it. Also, Tito and his father have never showed much love for Cotto.

      He says that as a Puerto Rican you should root for Cotto, but he sees it as a very hard task to beat Floyd. Which is the truth.

        Yea that was a couple weeks ago, but Floyd has been training non stop since, and I imagine he will even be sparring up until the day of the fight like he has done in the recent pass. At some point I do expect Floyd to over train even if it's not this fight.. Pacquiao seemed to be a bit OT'ed for a couple recent fights too, it's just about getting older, imo I dont think Floyd nor Pacquiao should be having 9, 10+ week camps at their current age, the body automatically keeps muscle memory from the hard training over the years so it will be easy to overtrain thinking your still 25, a 6 week camp should be adequate, but what do i know i guess...

              How is Tito hating on him? He's keeping it real. Mayweather maybe too fast/Good for Cotto.

I know he overwhelmed Ortiz in the fourth round, but we rarely ever see Floyd put his punches together like that, you would think Tito is talking about a Jr WW Floyd. Floyd will dominate though, but overwhelming Cotto with his speed, I don't know .
                He might just mean that his speed will be an overwhelming factor.

                And not necessarily that he'll overwhelm him in the terms of putting pressure on him with speed.

                  It's the truth though. His resume ar 154 is weak. Granted its only 3 fights but it is what it is.

                      Its the truth. Tito is keeping it real plain and simple.
