Hate on Floyd all you want, but speed and technique beats punching power every single time. Cotto relies on breaking his opponents down with a withering body attack. But you can't wear your opponent down when the guy you're facing is almost impossible to hit. Cotto would spend the fight chasing Floyd around, while Floyd nails him with every punch in the book. If Cotto had trouble with Torres' hand speed, how is he going to handle the fastest fighter on the planet?
I think Cotto gets stopped due to accumulated punishment somewhere around Round 9.
