No way will Oscar beat Cotto now, prime Oscar maybe but not this version guaranteed. Cotto stepping in with Margarito, and just beaten Zab and Mosley he is fighting dangerous fighters and is active. Oscar cannot live with Cotto now.

Re: Two things I'm certain of after watching the ODLH-Forbes fight
Oscar looked very good for a 35 year old who fights about once a year, but I don't see how he beats the top PFP fighter in Mayweather, or a Top 5 PFP guy like Cotto.
He just doesn't have the speed to deal with Mayweather, and a quick defensive style has always given him fits, even when he was in his prime.
I think a fight with Cotto would be competitive and entertaining, but I don't think he beats Cotto.

Re: Two things I'm certain of after watching the ODLH-Forbes fight
The two things I noticed about Oscar was his improved jab and improved fitness.
The Forbes fight was far better prep for Floyd than the Mayorga fight was 1st time round. Oscar wont be ringrusty in Sept and will be fresh off going against that style. He wasnt last time.
I still dont think it will be enough though . Floyd on another close points decision.
