    Default Would Mayweather be able to bust Cotto up a little?

    I am starting to wonder for the first time if Floyd would be able to hurt Cotto with counter punches, I mean he certainly kept Oscar respectful when he was throwing punches, and Oscar has a great chin, in the first half against Baldomir he was keeping Carlos respectful of him. I am wondering if Cotto could handle Floyd countering him solidly once Floyd got going in the 3rd or 4th round. I mean Floyd may not be the biggest puncher, but when he came in with those right hands against Hatton off the ropes, Hatton's head looked like a bobble head, and when he countered Oscar twice off the ropes in the 5th roudn of their fight Oscar looked stunned, and later on when Floyd caught him right before the bell.

    I think its an easy subject to bring up just after Cotto got stopped. I thought before last nights fight that Floyd might be to accurate and to sharp for Cotto.But you can never right Cotto off he has a great heart and will to win but i favour Floyd by UD

    OK another question?

    Could Floyd hold on with Cotto's punches?

    HE ain't called MArgarito. We all know if Margarito would had a normal chin he would have been out early

    I think Mayweather can cause he hardly ever takes a clean punch on the chin he will make Cotto miss and then grab much like Hatton fight.But Cotto is still a much harder fight than Hatton and i think Mayweathers work on the inside is underrated.

    S**t i sound like a Mayweather Fan now!

    Floyd wouldn't have to bust Cotto up. He's clearly faster than him and would be content to decisively outbox him.

    Its important to remember that Floyd has neither the chin or power of Margarito. Look how many shots it took to make Cotto crumble. Floyd would have to hit him like that for 20 rounds to get the same impact

    Sosa lasted 12 with Floyd and Floyd was down vs Hernandez, Judah ( not counted ) and hurt by Corley. Cotto can hurt him too . Its a completely different fight stylistically

    I'm not sure he would be able to keep on the inside with Cotto who cuts off the ring well. THat being said FLoyd took as clean of a shot as I've seen from Dela Hoya and he didn't even flinch.
