You need to realize that Floyd isn't exactly prime himself and even Pac refuses to fight Cotto at 154 and he waited until it was CONFIRMED that Mosely was a shot fighter before he took that match.Ortiz is a southpaw with good power that had won the WBC belt off of the then undefeated Berto-in a fight of the year type affair...these fights aren't that bad.
Cotto is not as fierce as he used to be pre-margarito,but he had looked a lot better when Floyd fought him (beating Yuri, Margarito, Mayorga,etc and was ranked #1 in JMW) than when Manny did (at that time he was 2 fights removed from being brutalized by concrete gloves,and struggled with Clottey). At least this version of Cotto wasn't at a catchweight and had gotten some of his confidence back from his prior defeats...enough for most people to believe that he is still very credible in boxing.
Ward,however in my opinion is the future p4p king.
