Juan Manuel Marquez was fighting WELL above his best weight, Miguel Cotto is a LEGIT 154 pounder and if Floyd could beat Cotto like he beat JMM I would be outright shocked. I don't expect Cotto to win, I want him to, and I can see how he could, but Floyd is a great fighter. I do expect Cotto to give Floyd hell though....not a single person Cotto has fought had an "Easy Night's Work" not Margarito the first time, not Pacquiao at a catchweight (I believe Pac got a busted eardrum from that fight), nobody....NOBODY.


I can't see Cotto acting like JMM or Shane in where he just gives up or is 100% outclassed. Cotto is a guy who will go out on his shield, he will probably get cut & swole up to the point they stop the fight, but Cotto is going to pressure Floyd, Floyd will have to earn the W.
I'm not sure about that bit because after the 2nd knockdown vs Pac, Cotto appeared to go on the run and didnt try to win after that he was just trying to survive. Marquez & Shane werent in the fight but I wouldnt say they gave up, just outclassed and didnt know what to do. Shane gave up vs Pac and was it was a terrible effort that night but vs Floyd he went for it for 2 rounds but his old body didnt have it after that.

Cotto will be more competative than Floyd and Marquez but the end result will be the same. . . . Floyd on points.
