another thing ... the right hand wasn't there for Cotto and it proved one thing that i've been saying about Cotto is that he doesn't have a strong right hand. Floyd wouldve been throwing that right hand over the top ... all night and he wouldve been in position to get the hell out of the way or follow up with something big. (something that Cotto didn't do) and we all know that PBF put shot with the right hand or left hook and either tie Margarito up or push him back ... Floyd also is throwing forearms and elbows which may open Margarito up .... add to that ... I think Floyd is a better body puncher than Cotto because no matter what Cotto was known for he abandon that during saturdays fight. Floyd always makes it a point to hit the body ... and follow up with something up top ... I think Margarito "following" PBF around, with the addition of the clinching, pushing, body shots, and dirty tactics ... by the time the championship rounds come about - Margarito's going to be frustrated and or tired.
Following Floyd around isn't the same as cutting off the ring ... thats what advantage that guys like Jesus Chavez and Jose Luis Castillo has over Margarito "boxing" wise ... thats boxing and its technique ... thats not following a guy around the ring like Margarito would do ... and walking into punches.
The point of boxing is to hit and not get hit. Not the the other way around, and secondly FM does what he does and he inflicts damage. He is a master of footwork and ring/fight manipulation. That not cowardly, just smart ring science.
Floyd is easier to cut off than Cotto IMO because Cotto knew he was running Margs would jsut do a light jog and then pick up where he left off I dont see Mayweather having the workrate or physicalty to run for 12 rounds while fighting off his back foot I think Floyd loses a fight if he is running for 12 round punching on the run I dont even think Margas has to chase Floyd much his long range shots hurt just as much as he insdie fighting
Really?!! No...cotto was getting cut off because he allowed hiself to get cut off due to him having to have to stand and set in order to get off his combinations. Floyd can hit on the run and cause the opponent to have to reset and worry about the HAND SPEED. That is a big factor that people tend to forget when it comes to FM. They say he is little and cant take constant pressure from a fighter. Well in my above post i state why that is a perfect opponent for FM. That handspeed neutralizes power and aggresivness. That is why FM is undefeated and cotto has One loss on his record now.
Floyd hitting on the run is going to ahe enough power to keep Margs off him? Cotto sitting on his punches is the only way he kep from getting KO'd earlier Floyds little pitty pat puunches while he is running will get no respect from Margs or the judges Do yout htink Floyd has any answer for Margs agressions and powere besides running a track meet for 12 rounds and ask anyone in boxing who the more physical stronger man is between Margs and DLH
