IMO, I think Cotto is the real deal and may have what it takes to get by Mayweather. It's almost impossible to break down PBF's defence but I think if someone can hit him HARD enough, it may crack...and I think Cotto may be the right person to do it. Opponents who have fought Cotto can easily testify he hits EXTREMELY hard and has good hand speed as well. I know people will bring up his chin against Torres and Corely...but we can't forget the fact that although he was hurt in those fights, he DID finish by stopping of them. Torres was a KO specialist (40 fights, 38 by KO...something like that) and Cotto clearly underestimated him but having said that, he was still able to stop Torres (yes, I know...he's not a well known fighter).
Well IMO, I think Cotto is just a few fights away from being able to step up to Mayweather...Unfortunately, I don't think PBF will be around when he's ready...kind of sad as that is one bout I would have loved to see.
What do you all think?
