I can dig that but that guy wasn't Floyd Mayweather.
Let's be honest, Floyd isn't unbeatable. It just needs somebody with an unwavering focus and gameplan with the ability to box. If Oscar kept up that jab and those little flurries that at least stopped Floyd's output for the whole fight who knows what would have happened.
Floyd adjusted and Oscar lost his balls. Cotto is one man who MIGHT be able to stick to that plan. Ultimately, I see him causing trouble but perhaps losing his stomach for the fight late on when Floyd has landed a festival of right hands. It'll be an exciting fight though - I can almost guarantee it.
Re: Mayweather Vs Cotto Predictions
Cotto always comes to fight....Floyd will have to earn a W on May 5th, that's for certain. I know Cotto is the underdog but I'm cheering for him nevertheless!

The best tool he's got is is jab, which is ramrod and well timed. His left hook is good but mayweather's philly shell puts a dampener these punches. in fact left hooks are liability against mayweather as he counters so well off of them.
So how does cotto have a good chance, other than a punchers chance?
1. Use the jab - De la Hoya had great success with his jab, Cotto used it well vs Mosley. The timing of the jab nullifies speed.
2. Land the hook often - work the body, work the arms, the shoulder, hips, everything. Miguel has a powerful punch, one powerful enough to break jaws, one powerful enough to stop a fighter with a shot to the shoulder. Working to the body takes the legs away, working on the guard takes the defense and speed away....after that Floyd may be downright normal if all goes to plan.
3. Make Floyd forget the right hand - Cotto can switch up and has big power in both hands...if he switches southpaw and can blast a right hook in and make contact then great, if he can lull Floyd into range and time a solid right cross from an orthodox stance even better...but Floyd must be more wary of the left hook than the right hand in order for Cotto to catch him offguard.
No doubt it's an uphill battle for Cotto, but he's a warrior, he has heart
Yeah, like i said cotto has a good jab, and the jab is key to any plan to beat mayweather.
But IMO Cotto trying to land left hooks is playing into mayweathers hands. The right side of mayweathers body and head is almost airtight, despite occasionally pulling back from hooks with his chin exposed. For the most part floyd only has to watch for the opponents jabs and right hands, and cotto's right hand isn't that fast. Cotto will eat enough right uppercuts and crosses to make him seriously think about throwing anymore left hooks.
Ok, i don't want to write cotto off totally, but if he wants to win he's going to have to have a better plan than just blasting mayweather with his power and trying to break his shoulder. I reckon he needs to pressure floyd into leading first or feint him into throwing a counter before he tries using the hook. then again you need good hand speed to make someone buy the feint, and i just don't think cotto's fast enough at this stage.

OK....so you just think from 1 to 12 this is a total shutout? I think Cotto matches up fairly well, he'll at least give it a solid go for 5 rounds before he starts slowing down however the fight is going....I would be shocked if Floyd got to him any earlier. Floyd could be making a big mistake by not having a catchweight, believing Cotto's best is past him, and not trusting that Cotto is a solid BOXER as well as power puncher. Cotto has been hit with a lot before and always fought on...Floyd will have to wear him down make him chase, and coounter him. Cotto has been stopped 2 times once vs a cheater with loaded wraps and second at a catchweight and sans trainer. Cotto still has Pedro Diaz, a well respected trainer who really helped him do a number on Margarito...you never can tell when a fighter can get a second wind in his career.
Just because Cotto doesn't attack the body as aggressively as before doesn't mean he lacks power. Power and timing are key for Cotto...he will be outsped and be fighting a guy with better stamina, but he can change all that with a few punches. If Cotto hurts Floyd like Mosley and Zab did there WILL be a knockdown and perhaps a knockout.
Nobody says he lacks power. What I'm saying is you can't call him a brutal body puncher when he no longer attacks the body

Saw Cotto on ESPN being interviewed, looks cool calm and collected.

Uhh.... why would Cotto be worried about that?
Did he volunteer to do Floyd's upcoming jail time for him?

Re: Mayweather Vs Cotto Predictions
I think if Ortiz was somewhat succesful in taking PBF to the ropes and pinning him there it'll be a matter of what Cotto can land once he is there...
He would need to take advantage of those moments.
If PBF thinks he can go to the ropes and just let Cotto shoot he is making a big mistake IMO.
Cotto is the type of fighter that can finish you off if he has you pinned.
A huge Cotto fan but my prediction is PBF via decision.

Mick, need your opinion. Who's got the better skill set and punching power, between Vic Ortiz and Miguel Cotto?

Ortiz has the better skill set and more power. Cotto knows how to use his skills and power.
