I agree that the longer Mayweather puts this fight off, the harder it will get.

I do think that Mayweather would still beat Cotto but i believe that Cotto has a much better chance than Hatton and even Oscar had.

On a side note, i have to say i was alarmed at how often Corley hit Cotto with the suothpaw right hook. I wonder how Cotto would cope with a Luis Collazo. That would be an interesting fight imo. It would give an indication of how Cotto deals with a fighter with that much slickness and boxing ability.
I had been concerned also with the quantity of punches that sometimes Cotto receives. I don't know how many of you saw his fight with Ndou where more than one time Cotto received 1, 2, 3 right hands. I was concerned because in that particular fight he could not adjust as I expected to avoid receiving the same punch repeatedly, and to be honest I thought that Judah or Mosley could stopped him (giving my Puertorrican feelings away). But, thanks God I was wrong and Cotto could adjust and won both fights. If you go even farther to previous Cotto's fight you will notice that he is taking a lot of more risks now to KO his opponents, and that is why he is taking more punches. But, definitely I believe Cotto keeps improving, and he will give a lot of trouble to anyone including Floyd, loosing or winning.
