Cotto would not be the slightest bit competitive with Floyd...which is a bit less competitive than Canelo would be. Lead rights, movement, jab...Cotto would be shredded in there by Mayweather. Canelo will too, but at least he isn't as shopworn.

Cotto is more deserving without question, but it doesn't mean he will make for a fight that isn't a lopsided whooping.

Nope, I don't think so. Let me put it this way, Cotto gives Mayweather his toughest fight since DLH/Judah (which ever was considered his toughest fight in recent time).
Mayweather will be cautious and tentative early. We will see a version of Mayweather that's closer to the one that fought DLH/ Baldomir than the one we saw against Mosley/Hatton/Ortiz.

Cotto gives Mayweather a tougher fight than Pacquaio does.

Next to speed merchants like May & Pac, Cotto is slow as molasses, Floyd picks him apart one lead hand right at a time.
