Cotto is a good fighter, make no mistake about it, but I can't see him troubling Floyd unless he comes forward all night, cuts the ring once he has Floyd backing up, and just traps him on the ropes. If he stands in the middle of the ring with Floyd and tries to be a boxer/puncher, he'll get shooled. If he comes forward and gets Floyd backing up, but doesn't cut the ring or apply effective pressure, he'll get schooled and countered at will. And if he lets Floyd walk him down, he has no shot.
