    Floyd Jr looked super sharp against Guerrero and Canelo. Much of his success was attributed to his renewed partnership with his father/trainer after a subpar performance against Cotto. Everyone pointed to a renewed focus defensively. My question is, did Roger receive too much blame for the performance vs Cotto??

    Cotto made the fight hard for floyd they blamed it on Roger

    I feel Roger would have helped him more tonight

    Floyd looks sharp against Canelo & Guerrero because they're both idiots with stupid gameplans. They both fought at Floyd's pace and tried to outbox him. You can't outbox a superior boxer, you can only outfight him.

    yes but watch the fight again JUST FLOYD dont worry about his opponent, look at the handspeed from floyd. the accuracy and countering on the ropes THEN GETTING OUT!. hed seem to block a few shots of maidanas when he gets put on the ropes counter back get the better of the exchange and then just sits there?

    put it this way if floyd fights khan in september i will prob chuck close to 100 dollars on khan
