Floyd Mayweather sparring Omar Henry

I know Floyd was working on a few things.. It still doesn't change the fact that Omar Henry was putting in some good work.

 

:hi:

 

That is what he is there for. He isn't there for Floyd to just walk all over. atsch

 

What's up tHawk..How have you been? Did you watch the Mayweather-Henry sparring session?

 

Yes I know.. It's sparring. Not only for Floyd but for Omar as well!

 

Yea, I watched Floyd vs Grey Shirt. :yep

It was very entertaining, and I definitely wasn't expecting it when I tuned in to the "live work out". :good

 

Floyd was bigger than Hatton... In terms of height, length, reach and frame... Ricky just had more water weight than Floyd. Floyd had leaner muscle mass.

 

I think Cotto will be stronger than Floyd, but agree Floyd in his mid thirties is really filling out. He's kept his body in great physical condition so he's putting on size progressively...which is ideal for someone who moves north through divisions.

 

Mayweather will be stronger than Cotto, bank on it.

Back when the fight was first suggested in 07 at WW, Cotto would of been stronger. Not now.

 

Same here... It was a pleasant suprise.

 

2 1/2.

I had the third round 10-10...and Mayweather absolutely dominated rounds 4 & 5.

 

Cotto and Mayweather are both physically strong fighters. Even strength imo.

 

Grey Shirt looked like he weighed easily close to 170lbs in there (in other words, like a fully-rehydrated large middleweight on fight night).

The size difference was striking. Floyd got shoved around for the first ten minutes, but by the end he was doing the shoving.

If you factor in long-haul endurance, he is probably capable of being much stronger than Cotto down the stretch if he isn't already from the jump.

 

Miguel is actually very strong, and while his power hasn't carried up to light middleweight (and really hasn't been at its peak since 140) it's still decent...

I think it's more an issue that Mayweather's strength and power are underrated. That's why it's hard for some people to wrap their head around the idea that Cotto might not be the stronger man. It isn't because they put Cotto on a pedestal and have an inflated idea of his strength, but because many people absurdly continue to think of Mayweather as a guy who can't really bump and grind with the big boys and hasn't been able to truly hurt anyone with a punch since his super featherweight days. Even though you'd think with all the times he's proven them wrong about that now...

 

I disagree about Floyd being the most athletic Boxer since Roy Jones Jr. I think Manny or Gamboa are much more explosively athletic than Floyd.
