From what I've heard is that they're thinking Mosley was more of a threat than Floyd. Mosley was just as fast and stronger minus the shoulder rolls!!! I like the confidence they're displaying....good nite Floyd!!!
Let's remember that Pedro Diaz was one of the premier Coaches on the Cuban National team for many years. He is the man responsible for helping Odlanier Solis win so many Gold medals in the amateurs. Diaz is the one responsible for helping Cotto easily defeat Margarito. It's the Cuban ring IQ, and Diaz is a master at that! The problem is if Cotto is willing to follow Diaz's plan to the max without letting his emotions get in the way. Mayweather is not unbeatable, very good yes but not unbeatable.
Mayweather " defeated " Aragon 11-12 ( could have gone either way , I had Aragon wining that fight ) , that's why he avoided Casamayor like the plague . He knows that when you get inside a ring with a Cuban you have a really small chance of wining . Peace .
A steady piston like jab. A fast low/high or high/low 1-2 like Mosley used. Doubling up hooks to thwart the rhythm of rolling. Pressure if FMJ goes into a high guard with lots of body work. Those are my only guesses, but I don't see any way to beat FMJ now other than a lucky shot rocking him.
Cotto has shown to have the tools needed to win (strong jab, excellent body attack), but can he get it done once he's actually in there with the man. My heart says Cotto, my head still says Floyd and likely will lull the way to the ring of the bell. Aside from Floyd/Pac, this is definitely the next best fight to be made with Mayweather and I think it'll be a good one.*
