I've always loved Cotto, but after the beating he took in the first Margarito fight when Margarito had the loaded plaster hand wraps I wonder if he'll ever be the same again. He looked great in destroying Margarito in the second fight, but he's in there with an entirely different animal in Mayweather.
The only chance Cotto is going to have is if he can cut the ring in half and rough Mayweather up against the ropes. He's the naturally bigger fighter so he's going to have to use that to his advantage and try to bully Mayweather on the inside. I'll be rooting for Cotto but I have a hard time seeing him getting past Mayweather's speed...
