How I would prepare Cotto to fight Mayweather. (Technical thread)

Everyone expects Cotto to crowd Floyd. You make good points, but nobody has been mobile enough to make Floyd lead and catch him off balance. After his last fight, it looks like making Floyd chase while he's pressuring instead of standing right in front of him opens up new opportunities to land. Counter-intuitive strategies are many times the best ones. What he's recommending isn't even a pure counter-punching "cutesy" plan, it's just one that employs a varied rhythm and frequent changes in direction.

 

Pejevan has a personal vendetta with me, Bogo. He doesn't know enough about Boxing to pick apart of peice together a game plan. You are very polite though, politer than I would of been.

 

peeweevag tries to get on everyone's nuts once he sees em as a Joyboy

 

Mayweather is less mobile nowadays than what many of you *****s think.

If a slow Ortiz had success crowding Fraud, I think Cotto would have his moments.

But to actually espouse the idea that you are going to fight Gayweather with jabs (WTF,and coming from Cotto) and varied rhythm(also coming from Cotto?) is like a paradigm shift to the way Cotto fights. That is like adding layers of skill he does not have.

He already went to the battle with a success rate less than 1per cent. Cotto is very predictable offensively. If he gets frustrated and reverts to his old self, and assuming you are the coach, would you be saying that ****.

Because if I am the coach, I would do what Frazier's coach said, "hit him wherever you can hit him" Hit him in the Arms,legs, back, whatever, and make the fight so dirty that the referee would be spending the time separating you. That is the way to win a fight against a vastly superior fighter than you are. Box with a boxer? Really?

 

You just called Bogotazo a ***** :rofl:rofl

 

Kid doesn't have a clue atsch

Even called Bogotazo a ***** :rofl

 

pejevan's definition of ***** is anyone who knows more about boxing than he does. It doesn't matter if they know much more or a bit more, as long as they know more than him.

 

Sorry if I offended Bogo!!!

I lost track on who are *****s and who are not!

Everyday, there is a new one. More stupid than the last one.

Who can keep track of who?

Once again,my apologies to Bogo.

Honestly, do you really expect Cotto to win a war against Fraud by boxing with him??????? If so, what is the per cent chance of actually pulling it of???? That is the most serious I have ever been in ESB since 2009 when someone unretired and the creeps started declaring that one fighter is the best pressure fighter, the best jabber, the best ppuncher, the gem most fight.

 

Yes, and you are the poster boy for intelligent Pacquaio fans.

This was Corrales' and Gatti's plan.

 

No, Corrales and gatti don't fight like that,

That was castillo's and Hatton's plan.

So you agree then? Cotto should box with Gayweather?

 

If you read the thread, you'll see six pages of posters who mostly agree with what I said. Are we all *****s? Or are we all wrong and you're the only one who's correct?

Or, MAYBE, just maybe; you've made a mistake and would like to apologise?

 

I guess most of you are experts, just like you!!!!

So apparently, for an overmatched fighter in terms of skillset to fight someone vastly superior, he has to learn new skills to match that fighter. That is actually a brilliant strategy. I am sorry to mistake you brilliance for idiocy.

Why did I not think of that?

 

Good post SJ. A very welcomed thread.

 

Cotto would get stopped if he listened to you.
