    If Cotto ıs Cooper he has a chance. as dıd Cooper for a few glorıous moments.

    I don’t see it that way at all. Cotto has a great jab and you need one of those to even enter the chance sweepstakes. Cotto will also try to switch seeing that he’s a natural leftie but he will attempt to go south paw and especially his feet at the right moments. Can’t see him trying to box that way or he will be eating right hands. There are plenty of intangibles in this fight and it puzzles me at the amount of people across the web who give Cotto no shot at all. I wonder if people said the same thing about Lamotta the first time he faced Robinson. Cotto has a new trainer and seems rejuvenated. I bet they watched the Oscar and Castillo 1 fights over and over again even though Cotto is previously known to not watch tape. People are really discounting Diaz as a trainer.

    Another aspect that people do not really talk about or dismiss out hand is Floyds head space. Part of his game plan is getting under his opponent’s skin as the reactions fuel his own fire. Talk about subdued; this 24/7 is a cure for insomnia. Add to that thee impending doom even though it is only 90 days and he does 45. He’s got about a month of freedom left. Nobody can tell me that does not have an effect also. This combined with his inactivity and conserved use of his legs lately could make for at least and interesting first half. Cotto could not have the stars more aligned to give him his best chance.

    Will he win? Highly unlikely. Can he win? Floyds a human with a lot going on. Wishful thinking I suppose being a die hard Cotto fan but upsets are a big part of boxing. I do think it will be a much better fight then most. If I was betting I’d put the coin with Floyd in a comfortable UD. No stoppage I don’t think because they are wearing Grants and Everlast. Same with Alvarez and Shane. I would have thought there would be a couple of pairs Reyes in the mix.

    Have not posted in awhile. Excuse the long winded response.
    Its not like Cotto to do it but he should say at the weigh in "I would of been polite and asked for a rematch clause with you Floyd but you wont be out and about for that one Im told". 1-0 Cotto.

    I would try every trick in the book if i was Miguel, even fainting injury late in rounds to draw him in to go for the kill.

    Id be practicing alot of elbow blocks with half steps and hooks too.

    Flying hooks around jabs taking the jab with the rear, switching to follow floyd out faster on angles and step jab and smother, you name it, every trick in the book.

    We live in hope.
