Floyd actually let his hands go and sat down on 2-3 punches in the 12th round of the Cotto fight. He hasn't punched that way since... ever, really. He most definitely could KO Canelo if he went for it, but he never takes the risk.
I think he wanted to show Cotto that he could punch too, since Cotto was the hardest puncher he ever faced (he allegedly told Paulie Malinaggi as much). You could see the additional velocity of those punches in the 12th round - just look for the fight on youtube and see what I mean.
He can most definitely do it.

I don't see Mayweather KO'n Canelo. I believe its going to be very similar to what we saw against Guerrero, but Canelo will do much better because he's a better boxer and bigger and stronger than Guerrero.
I just fear that Canelo will try and box too much and play into Mayweather's hands.

Yup. Fast forward to about 1:40 in the video, which is about 1:14 left in the fight, and Mayweather hurts cotto with a left uppercut.. staggers him a few times after that as well.. Loved the way Mayweather fought in this bout, despite many saying he "lost his legs" or "lost a step" simply because he chose to go toe-to-toe with Cotto.. Then he chooses to not get hit as much, and show his elite footwork against The Ghost, and those same people are saying "he ran" the whole fight. lol it never ends.
