nah this is a misconception. cotto is not slow, just ask mosley. yes floyd is faster but i don't think floyd has the power to stop cotto off his tracks. floyd could win a decision, but the styles match-up on this one favors cotto and it would be a very hard night for floyd.
the cotto that fought mosley is nowhere to be found. how hard is that to understand. cotto has been done since the shane fight. the writing was on the wall. why is it so hard for people to see? Stick a fork in Cotto. He was always vastly overrated.
lol that's because Pac has a granite chin, and Floyd's never really showed any kind of true resiliency or durability in the ring. He's been hit with some good shots, but he's never taken a sustained beating thus his chin and damage resistance really hasn't been measured. He's never been in a real fight.
wtf? you don't think cotto can land anything significant. hatton was able to get his shots in, cotto fires more than hatton and is more accurate. you're the one thinking floyd's completely untouchable and god here
so it was arum's fault again? bottomline is this was the biggest fight in boxing back then in 2007 but floyd's camp said cotto is not big enough name (even after beating mosley). talk about avoiding the hardest competition available.
Just posted the emmanuel Augustus fight, you should watch it. Also his fights with Jesus Chavez, Demarcus Corley, first Castillo fight, and the flush right hand DLH landed on Floyd when he was coming off the ropes at 154lbs. Floyd has displayed a great chin and damage resistance throughout his career. You'd be a fool to say otherwise. Hell Castillo busted his body up and Floyd didnt quite. You should also watch the 11th round of that fight when Mayweather gets the best of CAstillo in the pocket.
people thinks just because pac had beaten cotto, this is an easy fight for floyd? people should look at the style's match up and this one doesn't favor floyd at all. floyd may won in the end because he is a greater fighter but it would not be an easy night and it would not be a stoppage.
He has the highest compubox hit to not get hit ratio since its inception. Better then both Whitaker and Roy Jones Jr. Not an untouchable god, but something similar.
LOL People think steroids make your have super powers. Manny might be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, or maybe he can turn water into wine...
This is an easy fight because Joshua Clottey proved it would be an easy fight for Floyd. Hell I picked Pac to KO Cotto in 5 rounds because of his performance against Clottey. Its clear he was done as a force at welter.
