Miguel Cotto can box, he has power, good timing, decent defense, a solid chin, a warrior's heart, and he can switch up from orthodox to southpaw.

    To me, this is a very dangerous fight for Floyd. Cotto is sneaky with his power and sneaky with his speed. He doesn't look quick, but he can catch you coming in and put a hurting on you. Miguel also doesn't care where the hell he hits you he just wants to do damage...he stopped Gianaluca Branco with a left hook to the shoulder!!!

    If Cotto prepares to go 12, uses the jab effectively AND remembers to attack the body.....well we might just have ourselves a fight fellas!!!!
    He did. But that was what 6 years ago? That Cotto doesn't exist any more
    This time though Cotto's with a top notch coach in Perdo Diaz. Mayweather should have the edge but I don't think itll be a walk in the park, especially because Mayweather doesnt have the power to really bother Cotto.

    He still has that power and he boxes more now, he doesn't go all wild anymore, though he does not attack the body as much.
    And that's gonna be a problem for Cotto. Two things a fighter has to do just to be competitive against Mayweather is work behind an effective jab and try to at least maintain some sort of body attack on him. Cotto has no chance if he strictly head hunts

    Cotto's set in his ways. Cotto does what Cotto wants in the ring

    Hell yes!! Good for Miguel. He deserves a big fight like this.

    Do I think he can win, well duh, of course I do. I wouldn't be a fan if I didn't believe. I honestly think if he comes in with the right game plan, and executes it, he can win. My biggest worry would be his stamina in the late rounds. And if he loses, no shame in that, he would be losing to one of the best out there right now. Then his only two legitimate losses would be to the #1 and #2 guys in the world.

    Miguel should wear trunks and a robe that look like prison stripes.
