I saw Cotto had a lot of trouble with Zab's speed at times, but Zab couldn't maintain a consistant pace offensively. ALso this fight IMO proved that COtto isn't a huge one punch guy who could knock Mayweather. I see Oscar beating Cotto, and I still see Mayweather handing it to Cotto.
No one thought Castillo would either yet he gave Mayweather two very hard fights and Cotto hits harder than Castillo and is better fighter.
He is not a better fighter. Castillo was a better inside fighter, better chin, and he used a lot more head movement. People have being using Castillo for why Oscar and Baldomir would beat Mayweather, and neither came close IMO. Oscar gave him a good fight, but Oscar is better than Cotto. I respect Cotto a lot more after this fight, and he proved he is good, but I think all this stuff about Mayweather ducking him, Margarito, etc. is premature.
