Good Analysis on Cotto vs. Mayweather here.

And De La Hoya doesn't know how to switched southpaw the way Cotto does and Cotto is also a better counterpuncher than De La Hoya. But your right, no one has been able to take away Cotto's jab yet, and it'll be interesting to see if Floyd can. A real good jab is hard to take away, especially if a fighter like Cotto has other tools that he can use as well. Along with a good, solid, very well timed jab(which he does)

 

Nice but there's only one thing Leon, Mayweather doesn't fight like Pacquaio. He doesn't throw nearly half the punches as Pacman(from the angles that Pacman throws them from) and he doesn't pressure you relentlessly like Pacman does and he doesn't fight out of a rhythem the way Pac does. Mayweather is great at what he does, but 2 different styles and 2 different ways of doing it. Pacquaio's style would always be a hard style for Cotto. EVEN NOW.

 

emmanuel showed that you can counter Cotto(e)'s jab without high volume, insane angles, or relentlessness in that footage.

Floyd is a superior counter-puncher to emmanuel with much greater timing and longer arms.

 

This is an easy fight.


55 have tried and 55 have failed.

 

Actually neither one of us said it, we were both quoting the op, i thought he had said Floyd hadn't had to, as you pointed out, he said Floyd didn't. In any case, why should Floyd make adjustments in a fight if he doesn't have to. But more on topic, I don't believe Miguel to be have superior timing, but he has the best timing out of all the opponents Floyd has seen in a very long time. And that could be an advantage for Miguel.

 

He pointed out the things Cotto can do to FLoyd, but not what Floyd will do to Cotto. I think he just wanted to pick Cotto to win and tried to find things to back his claim w/o looking at the other side

 

:yep

 

Agreed, however, the general concensus is that Cotto can in no way shape or form beat Mayweather. So it stands to reason that folks who think differently would try and make their point as to why or how he might be able to. I for one do not dismiss the the fact that it's either mans fight to win. Regardless of who can do what better.

 

I feel you, but keep this in mind. I just watched a few of his videos and he picked Mosley and Marquez to beat Floyd atsch

 

sounds suspect now. use enough boxing terminology and put enough content in there, you're guaranteed to have some sheep vouch for you

 

yeah I like videos like his, but like come on now :verysad

 

wait what???

 

yeah exactly. When I saw the Mosley one, I just said, aight that's cool.

Then I got a minute into the Marquez one and just shook my head. Stating how Juan is a thinking fighter and will counter Floyd coming in and how he's too smart to get potshotted :-(

 

did he say anything about Ortiz and southpaws?:rofl:roflatsch

 

That's how old people play the lottery, they just play the same number, hoping it hits.
