The distance between the jab and an orthodox fighter and the left hand of a southpaw and an orthodox fighter is totally different. Because Cotto is an orthodox fighter (yes his left hand is his power hand) means here is a much shorter range of distance! Cotto's jab could find Mayweather much quicker than a straight left can find Mayweather.
Look at Mayweather vs. Marquez, Floyd had an easy time landing his jab on Marquez's face. He probably landed more jabs on Marquez than Pacquiao was able to land straight lefts because, like I said, the distance between a jab and an orthodox fighter is different than a left hand and an orthodox fighter.
Mayweather is a master of timing and if guys slower and less agile could time Manny's left certainly Floyd will. He's going to be landing rights on Manny all night long.
