He was doing well in the orthodox stance, he did not get hit that much with Floyd's right hand, going southpaw may have confused him more that Floyd. Cotto jab was working and left hooks, no need to change stance.
He was doing very well but it wasn't enough. He wasn't dynamic enough. I mean its easily said but so is "you have to use your jab, you have to force Floyd to come to you" but for a good period of time Cotto was doing the right things.

The right hand was missing a lot and the one thing you don't want to be doing against Floyd is wasting shots and getting frustrated. Luckily Cotto didn't get frustrated because he had an excellent jab that he could go back to but those extended periods where Cotto fell into the trap of wailing away at Mayweather on the ropes where no good because NO orthodox fighter can get the right kind of leverage against Floyd.

It wouldn't of confused Cotto to turn his feet around. Im sure he has done it enough times before.
