Not sure on the aggressor, but I think I already know the winner.
Fair play to Floyd, he gets a lot of stick, lots from me too. But he does pick good fights, his last few opponents have all been decent fighters who have the potential to cause a suprise.
I think it'll be an interesting fight to watch for the boxing fan. Its about as interesting a fight as you can get where the winner is obvious (or at least very very likely).
What tactics will each fighter employ?
Is there anyone out there who gives Cotto a shot?

It's the best fight out there for Floyd, even though it's a bit late. I don't see Cotto winning this but it'll be good fight. Cotto can box, he's strong and has a good jab but it's not enough to beat Floyd. Mayweather takes a wide UD with a possibility of a late stoppage because of the sharp counter punches.
He Who Is Brave Is Free
Wisdom, compassion and courage are the three universally recognised moral qualities of men.
Cotto will be the aggressor, and Mayweather will use that against him all night long. I think it will be Mayweather 8-4, maybe 9-3.
The thing about cotto is that i love his style and boxing skills but his face bleeds easy and he takes alot of damage.
Hopefully his defense will improve in this bout AND his stamina!
Maybe cotto will try something different this time and not be so much of an aggressor like he did with pacman.
The weight is definately in his favor.
Pac must be kicking himself for not stepping up to 150.
Hopefully pac takes on a young hungry bradley.
This is a very good fight especially at 154. A very small complaint...i wish it was 3-4 years ago when both were nearer their primes.
Still an excellent match that beats anything Manny P will do next (and thats coming from a Pac fan).
Cotto has to adopt the Castillio performance if hes going to beat Floyd , patient aggressiveness pushing floyd back using the jab , letting Floyd go back near the ropes then attack. Cotto simply cant stand off Floyd or he gets beat in a wide decision.
Looking forward to this fight already , any early news on their purses for the fight.
It's the second best fight out there for Floyd. Sergio was the best. Still, it's not a bad fight at all. Sure, it should have happened three years ago, but better late than never. Is the fight at 154? I imagine this will lead into a Sergio Martinez v. Floyd Mayweather fight next?
I don't give Cotto a shot. I like Floyd in the late rounds (10-12) stoppage by cuts or Floyd UD. Cotto got what he wanted though, which was another big $ fight. He's earned it. He'll face Canelo after Mayweather beats him and he'll retire a very wealthy man.
This is great for boxing and a huge fight between 2 fighters i love to watch. Cotto will have a serious go early but Floyd will tie him in Knots by midway, suss him out and tear his face to shreds .. Cotto's hard as nails so i see Floyd winning late on by stoppage or by a massive points win.
Really looking forward to this one.
Just don't see any way or tactic that make Cotto win this.
WAR COTTO!!! Come on Miguel, take the 0!!!!
Sure Mayweather probably wins this by a wide points margin, but STYLES make fights. Miguel Cotto is a much more complete fighter than what Floyd has faced since De la Hoya. Mosley had power and handspeed, no defense. Zab had no discipline, Ortiz couldn't box, JMM had no power. Miguel Cotto can box, he has power, good timing, decent defense, a solid chin, a warrior's heart, and he can switch up from orthodox to southpaw.
To me, this is a very dangerous fight for Floyd. Cotto is sneaky with his power and sneaky with his speed. He doesn't look quick, but he can catch you coming in and put a hurting on you. Miguel also doesn't care where the hell he hits you he just wants to do damage...he stopped Gianaluca Branco with a left hook to the shoulder!!!
If Cotto prepares to go 12, uses the jab effectively AND remembers to attack the body.....well we might just have ourselves a fight fellas!!!!
It's a fight i have always wanted to see, i am not sure that a war torn Miguel Cotto can actually hit Floyd enough to win. I suspect that Floyd will find Cotto rather pedestrian and win a wide UD, Cotto has a punchers chance, but first he has to find the target!
First off Lyle I love the new sig.
Secondly, its pretty late for this fight to be finally coming off. Would have been better at 140 I think. Cotto is a little long in the tooth now.
But, better late than pregnant.
