I don't think so. How does Cotto win? He moves into his opponent and breaks them down with shots over the course of the fight. How does Floyd win? By avoiding shots and countering.
Do you really think Cotto is going to be able to do what no other fighter has and hit Floyd wth enough shots to break him down, without getting sloppy enough to eat those counters?
Like I said, the smart money is on Floyd. However, I think the tool that Cotto will use that other fighters havent is his jab. I'm blown away by how much its improved. He gets a lot of range on it, and he's hurt guys with his jab when they thought they were out of range. DLH caught Mayweather against the ropes during the fight, and I think Cotto will be able to do the same at least as often. At this point, I think Cotto can hurt Mayweather more than DLH. And, I think the jab is going to let Cotto dictate the range of the fight much more than any of mayweather's other opponents.
