Cotto's losses were indeed late stoppages but from volume punchers..
Mayweather is not a volume puncher or will he take the risk in volume punching against cotto, if he does he will get caught.

The most obvious pick would be UD. but 9-3, thats too 1 sided...
I would give cotto a much better chance. I find it hard to beleive that Cotto will out think mayweather, but he can out-will him.
To beat mayweather you need to have a few things.... Skill, will, experience and paitence...
Last opponents :
Ortiz - Lacked experience and paitence period
Mosley - Lacked will and skill needed to beat Floyd, dude waited on da 1 hitter quitter all night long, never tried to setup anything...
Marquez - Lacked skills needed to beat Floyd, Marquez's game is countering,you cant do that all day against Floyd or he will figure you out.
Hatton - Lacked skill and experience, dude was undefeated in Europe, Europe and US not same level in Boxing. Cant go head first in boxing....
Finally Cotto -
Does he have skills ? I say yes, A boxer-puncher with arguably the best left hook to the body in the game today....Good ring generalship, Works to break down fighters round by round
Does he have paitence ? One of the most paitence fighters today... Works to break down fighters round by round... does not look for the Knock as game plan .....
Does he have the will ? Yes, will to beat Ricardo torres after being knock down early, will to beat Quintana when they said he had no shot, will to beat Clottey with a severe cut to the eye brow in the 1st rd, will to fight anybody put in front of him and never ducked anyone !
Does he have experience ? yes, last 16 fights have been championship fights against top competition...
8oz Gloves: How much of an effect will they have on 5/5?
I've read that Mayweather opted to fight with 8 oz gloves. Obviously, he expects to be able to cut Cotto's face up during the fight, but will it backfire on him?
He's known to have brittle hands and I wonder if he'll be able to go 12 with Cotto if he hurts them early.
