I don't think Cotto has it to beat Mayweather--Mayweather's movement and timing would be too much for him. I thought Quintana won the first 4 rounds of the fight, but also that those 4 rounds mentally exhausted him. Mayweather doesn't mentally wear out--he can keep up the slick boxing for the full 12.
Let me say this though--I was very impressed with Cotto, and I really like him. And I should add to the part about Quintana taking 1-4 that I thought that also owed to Cotto purposely taking his time and figuring Quintana out. Even as I was scoring those rounds for Quintana, I was seeing Cotto take control of the fight. Very likable in the interview too--it would be hard not to root for this kid.
