Could Mayweather do vs Margerito what he did vs Baldomir?

Idiot.

 

Mayweather has shown that they key to being a successful boxer is to have more stamina than the pressure fighters. Then you can easily win a decision by precision shots. A great defense also doesn't hurt. From what I've seen in the AM vs. Clottey fight, FM can definitely pull off the win.

 

With that said, it's pretty hard to run anymore than Cotto did last night - and everyone's praising him (and rightfully so)... Seems a slight double standard to me

 

And all marg does is follow you around also, only diference marg punches harder. True he had cotto on the ropes but was cotto not making marg miss alot also the first 5-6 rds? I believe cotto only started sitting on the ropes because he gassed. and he gassed because of throwing all of those power shots and not clinching to get a break

 

No, not in the same way.

He got away with it on Baldomir because Baldomir can't cut the ring off and also Baldomir doesn't have the same punch output as Margarito.

I don't see Floyd winning against Margarito, he's too small and too likely to be banged up as the fight continues, unlike Baldomir who basically lost will during the fight.

 

Baldomir is an old man, man.

A 36 year old who was weight draining to try and be competitive. How many punches does Baldomir actually throw? And how slow is he on his feet? Margarito throws easily a 100 punches a round and is much more energetic on his legs. Unlike Baldomir, the making 147 does not affect Margarito at all. As evident by his performance last night.

Look at Baldomir after the Mayweather fight. That man was done in sparring. He did everything he could do to weight drain. A guy 36 years old shouldn't be weight draining because it'll leave him with nothing.

 

I like how people are judging wat FLoyd could do on the account of Cottos failure. Last time I checked Floyd was superior to Cotto in EVERY TECHNICAL SKILL. So I just dont get it. Cotto couldve pulled it off if he had more stamina, FLoyd does, he has better defense, faster hands and feet. But yet you guys know wat would happen b/c Cotto is the same as Floyd:huh so if cotto failed then floyd is going to fail as well:-(

 

I'm a huge fan of Floyd.

Which means I love boring fights that I have pay good money to watch. But it's OK, because Floyd ALWAYS delivers a cautious, measured performance that lulls me into a deep sleep.

Plus I have the knowledge that my PPV dollars are supporting a selfish, obnoxious ***** who cares more about securing his legacy on paper than he does in the ring.

 

Agreed. Floyd has a more defensive mindset than Cotto and is used to bigger, taller fighters pressuring him. More importantly Floyd is much faster than Cotto. Floyd by UD.

 

Yesterday Cotto tried to imitate Mayweather -according to you, he fought like a *****- and could not win.

 

I dont know how much punches he throws but he couldnt even get close enough to find pbf in the first place. I also think marg and baldomir are around the same speed. Point is cotto had no trouble getting away from marg in the early rds. And i think he was using pretty simple footwork to do so. And alot of times early in the fight when marg did have cotto on the ropes cotto was ducking and slipping alot of those punches. It only make me think a fighter with better footwork and defense and someone who is comfortable fighting that way can beat marg. Also i believe cotto didnt have success with that style because he too needs to set his feet to punch. Pbf doesnt have to, thoughts?

 

These are the key factors in this fight IMO:good

 

lol asterion why no1 is sayin that cotto is a runner. Every1 is giving him his respect for "fighting a smart fight", which I think he did. BUt if that was floyd, he wouldve been called a runner

 

Exactly. Mayweather can keep up the pace of dodging on the ropes.
