There's a big difference though. Cotto has a well-rounded offensive attack and most importantly, a stiff slegdehammer jab.

The reason Hatton had no chance (and I stated this many times before the fight) was because he just stormed in with no jab whatsoever. While I would pick Floyd to beat Cotto, I would give Cotto a good chance of pulling an upset, because of the way he has developed his jab and his right cross. If he were still a straight-ahead fighter who focused entirely on left hooks, I would not give him much chance.

You can't cut off the ring with just your feet against Floyd, you have to cut the ring off with your jab.
