    Miguel Cotto is immune to mind games. You ether intimidate him or..? Nothing.

    Nothing..? There will just be blank cold psychological affect.

    i thought looked more uncomfortable than trying to play mind games, like as soon as Victor Ortiz was brought up switch his chair round, un like him IMO. he dont care about $86k, just didn't want to be face to face with Cotto

    Even though i love Miguel (no homo) i cant see him being shrewd enough to get any more than 2 rounds if it goes the 12.......floyds what 35 now, his ringcraflt doesnt seem to be diminishing at this stage, but they can get old overnight.......Good luck to Cotto, think he is in for a similar type shutout to floyd vs marquez.

    I think it'll be competitive. Cotto will land, Floyd isn't as mobile as he once was.

    Floyd's an ignorant ***** in that video.

    He can move if he wants too, he has chose to fight little more front footed in recent fights

    He is still incredibly fast on his feet, and fights like a Olympic Fencer. "Just has not been using the ring size"

    :lol:

    I never thought I'd see the day Tony Bellew would say showing respect to an opponent is a good thing to see. I agree though, I quite enjoyed the face off because I like both fighters and to be honest, if I bet 100k on a game I'd wanna know the result as soon as fackin possible to.

    I hope you're right. I'd love to be treated to another display like the one he gave against JMM.

    I think that was boring performance, he hardly throw any combinations, seemed mentally challenged with anything past his 1-2 punch combination, straight right hand, and left hook........."Single Shots"

    Floyd Mayweather has fought in a more exciting and in my opinion, higher gear since Oscar De La Hoya & JMM fights.

    But still its clear to me, he's not as talented ability wise as he makes out..? He's just a good athlete who, has been born into boxing and forced to do boxing all of his life. On pure ability and genius type ability..? hes not on the level of Roy Jones Junior, Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Sugar Ray Robinson, even Prince Naseem Hamed...? seriously.

    All geniuses go crazy with it.

    What i mean by pure raw ability is..? that Usain Bolt type of gift..? things that no matter how hard you train and learn the basics..? Some people will never be able to do.

    Those fighters up above from a ability, and physical skills point of view..? changed the dynamics of the sport.

    Foyld Mayweather calls himself the greatest fighter of all-time..? I honestly don't know what he is basing this off..?

    Ring achievements..? Technical skills..? Pure ability..? Power..?

    He's not number 1 in any of these departments, he's not knocking guys out, or making them look completely and utterly lost inside of the ring. "No matter what anybody says"...

    He won a split decision vs Oscar De La hoya, which was a very competitive fight, in every single round..? and this was a end of the road, hesitant Oscar De La Hoya.

    He struggled against Ricky Hatton, was stumbling about, on the back foot..? and HE was the one wanting to hold, there was 1-2 rounds in it..? before the knock out..? Its a complete and utter myth that he was dominating Ricky Hatton..? a so called ****** in terms of sweet science..? did not look like he didn't belong in that ring.

    His last fight was competitive and Ortiz was getting some shots off and roughing Mayweather up..? These are the facts.............and Mayweather won via a sucker punch..."FACT"

    I just honestly don't understand why he thinks he's the greatest fighter of all-time..?

    Floyd Mayweather for me is just missing that X-factor. He's fights are not very vivid, and unlike past greats like Mike Tyson & Roy Jones & Muhammad Ali........there are no Floyd Mayweather images burned into our memories. Nobody really knew who Floyd Mayweather was until he fought Ricky Hatton. Even Manny Pac for me, went on one of the most aura inspiring shocking runs in boxing history..? that i have personally witness. Oscar De La Hoya..? beaten down, quit on his stool, Ricky Hatton..? His life was completely ruined, Miguel Cotto..? Looks confused and frightened by the power and lost at times, Antonio Margarito..? I nearly vomited from the beating he took.

    I picked against Manny Pac, but he shocked me each time. These are images BURNED in our minds..? Mayweather does not bring any of these moments.

    A whole lot of time and effort is put into 24/7 and stupid PR stunts..? Because inside of the ring..? he's just missing that star qaulity...?

    "It was once said about Steve Prefontaine..? "I don't know what it is, great athlete's sometimes have it..? great actors sometimes have it..? great leaders...? but whatever it is they have..? Steve Prefrontaine has it"

    That magic..? that aura inspiring star quality.

    Floyd Mayweather simply..? is just a cash cow.
