Really ?? outclassing ?? If you do not want to be mistaken as a newb, don't use statement like this to describe Cotto's decent round, where he got the better of the action. But to say he outclassed Floyd is a far stretch of the imagination as I have ever heard. The best Cotto was able to do in his fight against Floyd, was get the best of a few close rounds.
There is a person who has laid out a plan but it's not Cotto or Castillo for that matter. ODLH showed how to beat Floyd when he was coasting against him in the early going.
Good thread! Rd. 6 was the one round where Cotto looked like his old self - and that how Freddie will have him fighting the whole fight. I though Pedro Diaz was a poor, poor fit for Cotto. He's a trainer of amateurs. He also had no clue how to condition professional fighters. Freddie will also encourage Cotto to just pound on the shell. Shoulders, chest, forearms - anything. Mayweather didn't respond well to that with Alvarez or Maidana.
I never thought Maidana was bought off. The guy I quoted was being a smart ass. I think he's a poor fighter
Cotto is then the world champion of 1 round fights!!! Floyd has lost rounds to lots of fighters. Do we say OK fight like Hatton did in round 5 for 12 rounds and this is how you beat Floyd???
I already know what your canned response to whatever I say so what's the point? If you can't figure it out then we don't need to talk. Like I said, I already know what you are going to say.
