Castillo does grind down opponents, but I just reckon Cotto would be sharper, would outspeed the Mexican, land the flashier, and better punches, and touch him with the left hook to the body.

There's always the risk Cotto will get caught - and hurt. But he's at his most lethal when hurt. Just ask Torres or Corley. And don't forget his boxing ability. He can deal with pressure - see the Lovemore N'Dou fight. Cotto was on the move for the full 12, and boxed quite brilliantly at times.

It could end up looking a little like the Castillo-Floyd 1 fight. Only I don't think Cotto will spend too much time on the ropes. And at centre ring Cotto has too much for J.L
