I can't believe what many here are saying about PBF thrashing Cotto. Let me tell ya'. Mayweather is no GOD and gets too much credit for some lousy victories. I think he is awesome but there is no way he would destroy Cotto. That fight would be very close since we know Mayweather will be runnning for 12 rounds.
cause he was probably re-watching his dancing with the stars dvd's and got fussy when it came that Mayweather was being eliminated ;DQuote:

Yeah no way on earth Floyd destroy Cotto. Talk about Floyd really needing to be on a bicycle all night; Cotto's not stopping. Points victory yes, maybe, but no way a destruction.
I think Cottto would intimidate Floyd. He wont be able to get in his head at all and that will bother Floyd. Of both guys accomplihments around 147, Cotto has fought and beat the better fighters and some of the same fighters in a more immpressive fashion. Its not immpossible that Cotto would break Floyds will in the fight and I think he would get Floyds respect early on in the fight making him backpedal and mostly making Floyd very uncomfortable.

Cotto looked faster.... boxed better.... and got his props from the most reliable source last night. Mosley himself. So if Shane Mosley can give Cotto his due credit, that's good enough for me. Granted, it goes against the conventional wisdom of you two gentlemen. But I'll go with Shane's opinion nonetheless.

This was a case where I picked against Cotto but I love both fighters. Cotto is going to give Floyd trouble. I've now watched Cotto negate the speed of two very fast fighters with a deceptively accurate and powerful jab, and I'm sure we all remember that when Oscar used his jab, he was effective against Floyd. I don't think age had anything to do with Cotto's victory. It was Cotto's jab. For all taht talk about Cotto's bodywork and left hook, his jab won him the last to fights, and that gives him a chance against Floyd. A pressure fighter with a jab and power is a scary combo. My biggest knock on Cotto has been that I though he was one dimensional, but after seeing him last night, I realize that he has developed into a much more complete fighter.
Floyd will might win, but he will never beat him up. Tony Margarito has a better chance to KO Cotto, cuz of the power and uppercuts.
I'm gonna give you a CC, because you're one of the few around here that I've heard say: "I was picking so-and-so to win, 'cause I thought the other guy was one-dimensional and didn't have the tools. But I realize I was mistaken." Owning up to misconceptions is the mark of a truly knowledgeable boxing fan.Quote:

CC back. I can tell the difference between a fighter getting old before my eyes and a old fighter who still has great skills getting beat by a young lion that 1. I underestimated or 2. Had finally developed and put it all together. You gotta use your eyes. I don't know if what happened last night was 1 or 2. It was probably some of both. I think we all agree that Floyd today is a more refined figher than the Floyd who nearly lost to Castillo. This was a much different Cotto than the fighter who was pushed by Torres.Quote:

That requires a certain maturity. I got a glimpse of that from Cotto against Judah, but it wrote off some if it because of Zab's mental flaws.
After seeing what happened last night, even if Cotto WAS one-dimensional at one time, he ain't anymore, and even Shane said himself last night...the kid can box a little.
