agree with everybody saying Cotto is not even close to a natural 154 pounder. FLoyd was just as natural at the weight as Cotto. He's 5'7'' with shoes on, and his natural body frame is not much larger than Pacquiao (see their body measurements on tale of tape).
He looks better at the weight now than he did at first, though. He's replaced some body fat with lean muscle. . .
He SHOULD be able to beat Trout with effective aggression, and combination punches for periods of each round. Look for him to start timing his jab, and getting it home first after a few rounds, and by the mid-rounds, he'll bring the right hand over the top, which will in turn set up the left hook to the body by the later rounds. . . Trout will lose in a competitive fashion, though.
117-111 x2; 116-112 Cotto UD. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.
