Cotto beats everyone on Floyd's Resume

pac beats everyone in floyd's resume. something you can't say otherwise coz floyd didn't fight cotto,margo,clottey or barrera,marquez,morales type of fighters in their proper weight class.

 

There`s plenty of floyd-pac fucfest threads, go to one of them if you want to go round in circles arguing the same pish again.

 

I just have a totally opposite viewpoint on this. I thought it was very poor, from a technical perspective. Very poor. "Each others best work" consisted of Oscar jabbing then using stay-busy-but-watch-I-don't-gas arm punches to impress the judges, while Floyd turtled up over and over again, hoping that snaking out a punch now and then and avoiding getting hurt would edge him the rounds. As I said, both looked like ****.

 

Yeah but so does floyd. What's your point?

 

The Hatton fight would have been a toss up... I might have even favored Hatton down the stretch. Oscar would haver probably been too much also. Theres a few other problems yo that could have gave Cogito problems..

 

I don't know how anyone can be so impressed with so little from Oscar. Considering how he used to fight, this was absolutely feeble. Depressing even. (and yet he still made it close on the cards because of how ridiculously cautious Floyd was throughout)

 

He did produce 1 last great effort but unfortunately he was in against the best p4p boxer in the world... if his effort wasnt great he would have been shut out or beaten at least 10-2 just like the majority of Mayweather opponents, he fought a great fight that night but just wasnt good enough technically to beat a boxer of Mayweather`s ability - fact !

 

That isn't a fact at all. That's a very, possibly even suspiciously, rosy outlook on a terrible fight and two dire performances on a big night for boxing.

Oscar with that lack of snap and that lack of stamina would've been in trouble vs a whole heap of fighters other than Floyd.

 

yeah, oscar did not do anything special that night. oscar was already a part-time boxer part-time promoter by then. even roach has said that oscar could not pull the trigger. compare that version to the one that fought mosley. by the time oscar fought sturm, he is on the way down by then...

 

That version of Oscar beats every fighter today from 154 downwards, Mayweather (as much as he is hated & for good reason) is simply a class above every fighter of the era & in the end was just too good of a technician for Oscar.

 

It's not that he didn't do anything special IMO, it's that he performed very badly. And I don't even mean compared to peak mid-late 90s Oscar, even compared to the Oscar who mixed boxing and fighting for 12 hard rounds in the Mosley rematch in 2003. This Oscar seemed to have no energy, power or stamina left. As in so many Mayweather fights, if Floyd only had the mentality to dare to be great, he could've surely put some serious hurt on ODLH. But, he'd rather turtle his way to a boring decision and rely on his global army of clueless goons to retrospectively distort the fight into some sort of masterpiece, which it so very obviously wasn't.

 

Your confusing the corpse of his next 2 fights with the healthy 154 lb motivated version of DLH I think.

I also dont remember many people claiming it was a **** fight, I think most agreed it was a good fight technically.

 

That version of Oscar gets ****ing spit-roasted by Pacquiao - obviously! Are you serious? How the **** is a guy who gasses 6 rounds into a slow, uneventful fight going to handle a 12 round fight with a buzzsaw who has bad intentions?! I don't think you are serious with this comment. You're trolling for a reaction, yes?

 

you mean manny catchweight pacquiao

 

pacquiao would absolutely demolish that version of oscar. i would say cotto can still pull it coz honestly, that oscar did nothing special. the present ortiz might even pull this one out but i don't know, let the kid get more fights at 147.
