The guy might just be fading a lot more than we think he is. We'll see what happens.

This fight might tell us something about that, the problem is Cotto himself has been in some wars and has been hit way too often in recent years. Floyd is the best defensive fighter i have ever seen, can Cotto actually hit him? Not only hit him, but enough times to slow him down? I doubt it.
If Floyd is the best defensive fighter you have ever seen, go and watch some Pernell Whitaker and Willie Pep. Floyd is amazing, but I think those two are clearly above Floyd.
