Floyd is more durable than Cotto and is much smarter. He's better in every aspect than Cotto except power which doesn't matter the way Mayweather fights. Margo wouldn't be able to connect clean on Mayweather all fight, stop masturbating to Margarito.
Fact: AM is a beast. Not the slickest guy but thats not his way of fighting. He was too damn tough and durable for Cotto. Cotto executed his gameplan fairly well. AM simply executed his better.
Cotto showed you can outbox and elude Margo. Cotto did that early on but his feet dont fix Mayweathers shoes in that department. His stamina isn't as good as Mayweathers. And cotto fought with his back against the ropes and constantly moved away from margo. Exactly what Floyd does.
how can you easily say that...floyd lost to oscar, a guy who's pressure days are way passed him... even if you think floyd won, you still gotta admit that oscar was beating him easily in the first half of the fight with a pressured jab approach that even mayweather saw coming....i know margo is slow, but imagine switching that jab up with hooks, uppercuts, overhand rights etc etc....
I was really surprised that Cotto didn't attack the body constatly. I thought it's the only way to slow Margarito down - he didn't, and we saw what happened. Yep, I missed the jab as well.. I think the main problem was Cotto's stamina. As long as he could box and block the most of the punches he was clearly winning. Of course he can be hurt and when he started to fade, Margarito became really strong... in those 5-6 rounds when Cotto was effective he looked better than ever, slipping a lot of punches, making Margarito miss and landing crisp counters and combos. All the trouble started in the 6th, after that, Cotto never was the same again. He could still win a round or two, but the engergy level and the speed wasn't really there and the end of the 10th, Margarito took away everything... I don't know whether Cotto can get into a better condition for a rematch - all I know is that he has to land more to the body and control the fight with the jab... I'd definitely like to see another one!
let put it this way, get ur ass in the ring than do the talking? have u ever fought without energy? know how it feels when u so fuken tired and u can't left ur hands? there was no way cotto was gonna keep on his feet and he knew it. like Morales said in pacman fight, "Sometimes you have know when ur beated man, today i was beated" or something like that
no he didnt, floyd stays in the pocket for a long ass time...cotto would go to the ropes,slug it out and get right back out....floyd would stay there alot longer getting hit a lot more.... either way, the gameplan is written and FACTS ARE FACTS that your boy bitched out for a really good reason...:deal
Fact is Cotto made Margo miss when he rolled / dodged punches. As soon as he started sitting still he starting taking damage. BTW Dont get mad at me because Cotto quit. I thought he was a warrior, he's just a quiter.
na i see Mayweather Vs Baldomir again, they fight very close, and mayweather would do his ***** hit and run
That's exactly what Cotto did early in the fight. Sit on the ropes, move move move and come in, throw in a combo and back out.
