Had this fight happened in 2008, looking back, I would have to favor Mayweather in a tough fight. Putting myself in the frame of mind of 2008, I think I would see the fight as even because Cotto seemed unstoppable back then.
Prime Cotto worked the body as good as anyone before him and I could see this fight being similar to the Castillo fight. The difference is that Cotto would be much stronger and his punches would make a dent. I could say Mayweather wins it 115-113 or something like that. Whether the judges want to give Cotto the credit for winning 5 rounds would be another story, but that is what could have happened.
