I mean if Cotto can last as long as he did with Margarito (loaded wraps) & Pacquiao (Weight drained & sans trainer) then I think he'll make it 12 with Floyd unless Floyd really steps on the gas and guns for a KO which #1 isn't Floyd's style and #2 would be quite dangerous. Cotto may not win a single second of the fight, but I feel it's niave to think Floyd will KO him even late on in the match....Cotto may very well hit the canvas a time or two, but he's got loads of heart.

I hope Pedro Diaz has a good fight plan set for Cotto to impliment
I didn't really think Cotto was drained for the Pacquiao fight. I thought Margarito just took something out of the Puerto Rican warrior by using cement in his wraps. I also thought Cotto was too slow for Pacquiao. Cotto didn't look great in the final round of Margarito II either. It may have been the right decision to stop the fight because of the eye, but if the eye hadn't been an issue, I saw Margarito coming on strong. Pedro Diaz has done well, but he hasn't fixed the stamina problems.

Cotto has to make his move in the first half of the fight because once Floyd gets his rhythm and figure out Miguel's style it'll just be an easy coast to a decision for Floyd.
I agree with you @Tenshio. I hope we're wrong, but I see Canelo giving Mosley a whipping, or Mosley getting hit with a good puch, and then running and surviving for the remainder of the fight.

If Floyd wants to end this fight early, I think he will. I bet Floyd comes out of his shell a little bit in this fight once he adjusts and times Cotto. I like Floyd by stoppage middle rounds.
