Here's one thing to consider...Cotto mentioned Floyd only breifly a year or so ago.

He sat in ringside for Mayweather vs Bruseles.

Bruseles was one of Cotto's sparring partner. Mayweather was waaaaaay ahead by the 8th round when Floyd hammered him out & knocked Bruseles down twice before the fight was stopped.

Admittedly...Cotto was there to scope out Floyd...apparently he didn't dig on what he saw that night...because he hasn't made to much of a fuss about him sense.

I'm a HUGE Cotto fan & a HUGE Floyd fan & I can honestly say that this fight is about on the same level as the Oscar Floyd fight for me...I just don't want to see it.

I truly don't think that Cotto could deal with the speed & defense of Floyd.

As far as Cotto's power...I think Floyd has the chin to take it...but the question would fall to the body shots...could Flody take em?

Who knows.
Good post Wacko...I'd CC you but I'm not at 100 posts yet. Anyhow, that's why I was slightly leaning towards Cotto...POWER. You know for a fact Cotto will prepare like hell for this fight meaning he will tighten up his defence. We all know Cotto throw a punch and hits EXTREMELY hard which is why I think he has what it takes to breakdown PBF. I honestly don't think PBF would be able to a clean shot to the chin by Cotto or at least not hurt him. Cotto comes into the ring at 160+ I beleive and is very comfortable at that weight. I would definetely love to see this fight as I do beleive Cotto has "a shot" at beating PBF. Breaking through PBF may not be possible straight up but if he bangs the body the way he knows how...you might start seeing PBF's hands slowly get lower as the fight would go on. Cotto's POWER shots would be the key to this fight if it ever happens.
