    I dunno. Floyd's just the same as the rest of us in that sense - he can be a dickhead in some respects, but not in others. I could see him bringing up Cotto's problems with his uncle and using that to **** with his mind. But mock his dead father? I dunno. I think the two must have some sort of mutual respect, as they reportedly met last summer to discuss potential business deals prior to Cotto's TR contract expiring.

    He'll use some angle that's for sure and your probably right the uncle will be used as well, he's a predator.

    Like the GP video it really is spot on. PBF/Pac are the kings, Cotto/JMM/Mosley/Ortiz/Khan are on frontline as pawns in this war for position but like always soldiers get killed and injured in war. The ones who play it smart like Bradley aren't pawn's there to coy to be used in this game. He's more like a Rook he's happy to move sideways for a while and wait for the space to then move forward.

    Mayweather sits and picks off the weak and fighters in poor positions.

    Very good fight, (I'm impressed) although Mayweather knockers will no doubt find a way to slate it.

    This will **** many off but should he beat Cotto he record will include wins over:
    Marquez (P4P no.2)
    Cotto (3 weight champ at higher weight)
    Hatton (No.1 LWW)
    De la Hoya (P4Per, multiweight champ, at higher weight)
    Mosley (HoFer, multiweight and reigning WW champ, P4P 5?)

    Floyd will go on about how he is fighting 'bigger men' and that Pac is messing around with lightweight/light-welters!

    Bottom line Mayweather is taking on an extremely good, world class fighter without any catchweight bull****. Fair dos.

    So does this mean Floyd is fighting Pacqiuao's leftovers now?

    MAYWEATHER 1/6
    COTTO 4/1

    odds from 365.

    Not excited by this fight in the slightest, we'll all get hyped before it and come fight night, once we see Cotto getting hurt again, we'll see this fight for what it actually is.

    Hey don't burst the ball:nono

    Let us optimistic fools at least dream of a good scrap!

    With the fight at LM, Floyd now 35 and with the "Pretty Boy" thinking about his pending biting of pillows in the clink, there are plenty of things for us to cling to!:happy

    Cotto can give Floyd problems early, but he's not a hard puzzle to solve. One thing for Cotto is Floyd isn't a volume puncher, so he won't take too bad a beating.
