The tree has greater brute force and one-shot power. Cotto has much better punching technique though.
I think Cotto will be happy with the 10 ounce gloves. Mayweather was the one who wanted 8 ounce gloves to try and cut Cotto up like Margarito and...
From a business standpoint, it would have made no sense for Oscar to take a dive versus Hopkins. Hopkins was never going to be a draw anyway. The...
Floyd is better in a H2H sense. That's almost irrefutable. The best wins on Mayweather's resume are probably Diego Corrales (a very impressive...
Good mention, forgot all about him. Billy Backus of all people slashed his face apart when he didn't have Dundee as his cutman.
Julio Cesar Chavez was very easy to cut up later in his career. Manny Pacquiao is pretty susceptible to cuts as well. Henry Cooper back in the...
Correct, I see that Oscar beating Floyd. As for Vernon, well, Forrest had more left in the tank in 2007 than Oscar did. Forrest, both in his...
Interesting that you bring that up. Floyd today is pretty much in the same spot Oscar was back then. Older, doesn't fight as often... even Floyd...
Probably pathetic punching technique. Calzaghe, Mayorga, and other guys have shown you don't have to throw punches correctly to be a world...
Floyd would beat DLH at 130 and 135. Those were the weights where Mayweather was at his best physically, and DLH was drained at 130 and was rather...
No. Unfortunately for Martinez, he is pretty much screwed and cannot become a Cash Cow no matter what he does. The guy could savagely KO Chavez...
In terms of skills and ability in prime, it's Cotto and not a debate. In terms of where they are right now, it's closer, but Cotto is still more...
Leonard scores a late TKO on Pacquiao. Leonard does the same to Floyd or gets a wide UD if Floyd goes into survival mode to not get KO'd.
Floyd beat Oscar clearly, I'm not excusing it away. It was a good win. But people acting like Floyd would school a prime Oscar because of that...
For the record, I actually thought DLH looked very good at 154 (granted not as good as he looked around, say 1998 at 147 or 140 in 1996), and I...
