Sorry but Raheem had a hugging match I forgot who it was against but since I havent given two shits to watch him fight again. Cotto hasnt changed at all except divisions and his trainer, instead of sitting inside of the pocket as much he moves around but nothing is new this is all the same stuff he had, the only difference really is he is getting different advice in the corner than he would have gotten from his uncle.... Thats not a style change up he basically brought in someone who could better lay out which styles to use in certain fights. I was not impressed in either of those fights TBH.
roy said he would still be a threat because of his power. i still think even this pac would still give him a good fight since floyd himself has slowed down. it would be a pretty even fight i think if they fought right now
Just as much of a threat as he was in 09, pac and floyd have both seen better days, this much is clear. Shame there wasn't a good enough BOXER in this era to really, i mean really push floyd to his max mental and physical capabilities. it would be great to see floyd in a fight with someone as/or near to as boxing smart as he is.
zahir raheem...the guy who schooled erik morales before pac beat him in the rematch. the fight ur talking about was with acelino freitas. he deserves some of the blame for that fight being **** as well. that fight would have zero bearing on what pac/raheem would have looked like. there was a reason arum likes to match pac with fighters who are weight drained, coming off career beatdowns or who are stationary targets. as for cotto...he's not leaning on the front foot as much anymore. his footwork is improved. he isn't throwing those wide ass shots. he's throwing more in combination and his conditioning is improved. i guess it takes a trained eye to see the subtle differences.
Get off your high ****ing horse man, a trained eye to notice the differences my ass. he looked good because he fought a one legged foreman a one eyed Margarito and still Cotto was pushed to his limit and hit that flat spot that Dr saved Miguel from being embarrassed in front of his fans and he was dominated by Mayweather. I do not see an ounce of improvement but hey its your trained eye that does right... and thats what matters isnt it? sorry but I strongly disagree Cotto is the same old Cotto the only difference today as I said he doesnt have that same killer instinct he does not sit in the pocket and re arrange his opponents faces like he did at his best....
No and never was. Pac was scared to fight then and is scared to fight now. He knew how it would end just like Arum did. Pac is a fraud.
The current faded version of Pac is a cherry right there for the picking, just what Floyd was waiting for Somebody tell Mayweather to stop ducking the easy fight
Since that fight when he fought Freitas he has been garbage, and since Daprofessor was at Wildcard, I am sure he remembers the talk after the weigh in for that fight card, how drained Morales looked on the scales etc... I clearly remember ****** Fortune stating that he thought Morales was going to pass out
