I think a fight between Cotto and Mayweather would be similar to Cotto vs. Malignaggi in many ways. First, Cotto will be much stronger than Floyd. Cotto can hurt Floyd to the body and to the head. Cotto walked through the jabs and punches that Paulie threw at him. With that being said, Floyd has much better ring generalship than Paulie. Floyd has much better accuracy than Paulie. Floyd will hit Cotto in the face more than Paulie did. Floyd has much better defense than Paulie. On the other hand, Cotto can box much better than Baldomir. Cotto has faster hand speed than Baldomir. These last two comments mean that Cotto will hit Floyd more than Baldomir did. Yet, Cotto won't be able to hit Floyd in the face consistently. Cotto's only chance is to hit Floyd everywhere-body, arms, chest, during the clinches-and hope that this slows down Floyd in the later rounds. But if I had to pick, I would go with Floyd in a tough 12 round decision. The fight should definitely be tougher for Mayweather than the Baldomir fight. But I can't give Cotto the fight because Floyd has proven to be unbeatable (though he really hasn't fought a real strong welterweight yet).
