neither guy really has one shot power..... but think back to recent years...... who has the more impressive one punch knockdown/knockout?
cotto is more a beat them down , wear them down type.
floyd's power is underrated. he has solid power. he can hurt you when he throws it heavy. floyd just doesn't do it enough..... maybe because of his hand injuries.
better than pac? marg? hmmm..... maybe better than judah or ortiz.
but either way..... that's not the point. i listed a few guys that had something to offer in a floyd fight. something interesting that makes you think.
like prime marg's chin and durability and size.
pac's southpaw stance and his own speed and stamina.
judah had the handspeed and overall speed to match if not exceed floyd going in.
just examples. not saying they would have or should have beat floyd but things they offered that makes you think he might have a chance.
i see nothing in cotto , nothing at all that can make the fight interesting.

I think Cotto is hungrier. I want to believe he can take Mayweather's best shots. His skillset is basic, and overall very balanced. He's less boxer puncher, and more boxer/counterpuncher now.The one big thing I see doing him in is the lack of conditioning.
However I don't see him gassing for this fight. Mayweather doesn't bring the relentless pressure required to make Cotto dig deep. He's older now, and he's learned to take breaks and use the ring more as opposed to slugging it out, though he can if he has too.
It was also interesting rewatching the Quintana fight and noting how for the first 3-4 rounds Cotto was actually being soundly outboxed until his heavier hands began to dictate the fight.
Mayweather could be making a huge mistake here. Cotto is going to rally and wear Floyd down. Bets?

I'll be thinking:
Take that all NSB, Cotto haters. How about that overrated bum, Miguel Cotto KO'ing the #1 p4p fighter in boxing...

If you're calling Cotto a Bum, even after he's vanquished your mexican hero well then that speaks volumes for the credibility in your posts. No one likes a tool.

Im also not sure who has the better chin. Other than Pac I think Cotto is a better overall fighter than the guys u mentioned. I see what your saying though with the certain attributes each of those guys brings.
but may is more accurate and faster with it. who knows?
but neither guy is really a one punch ko or kd guy..... and for cotto that's what he needs to beat floyd. floyd doesn't need to kd or ko cotto to win.
cotto might be better overall than some of those guys i mentioned but like i said before.
it's not about that.
it's about them bringing something to the table that can trouble mayweather.
whether it be speed , size , strength , reach , stamina , power , chin , etc.
cotto brings nothing to the table.

cotto gonna box floyd?
yeah with that great jab he "supposedly" has?
pacquiao's cross eyed ass outboxed cotto for crying outloud. he figured out cotto's jab after one feel out round.
