    That was just beautiful.

    Now upload some of the several vicious body punches Cotto landed in the center of the ring.

    Exactly, its not like Berto really did a damn thing in this sport, who has he beaten? Lets take a closer look at Berto he was dropped and IMHO beat by featherfisted Luis Collazo, he got dropped and beat by Victor Ortiz and was dropped and beat by Guerrero.

    there is nothing you can actually take from the berto wins to even come close to saying this is going to be a tough fight. other than Berto who has Guerrero beat? Aydin? give me a break already and even then he had a difficult time with Aydin.

    I just do not see this as a good match I see this as a showcase match nothing more.

    The problem with your comparison to Cotto is monumental. First off, Robert doesn't move his feet or push his jab like Cotto:

    I think you saw the wrong fight.

    They both had great moments in the center, for Floyd more so when Cotto was trying to get inside. The right hook was key there. Then once Cotto got inside, spent his energy, Floyd would fight him off, turn him around and take advantage of Cotto being winded, lighting him up and pushing him back.

    He doesnt need to move his feet that much or push his jab. His right hook will keep Floyd from coming in and his left hand is what he'll ambush Floyd with. He can fight off-rhythm and switch modes just like Cotto. Probably even better.

    Nearly all of Cotto's good body shots was laded when Floyd was near or on the ropes

    Being on the back foot worked for Miguel for about one round. Next round Floyd immediately replies by outboxing him in the center again forcing Cotto to resume his come forward role

    Floyd walks in with a high guard against Southpaws. How exactly is that right hook going to deter him, especially when Guerrero doesn't have fight changing power?

    And Guerrero doesn't "switch modes" as you say. He has two, mauler/spoiler and boxer. When one doesn't work, he goes for the other (Siri fight). If what he's doing works, he sticks with it (Katsidis fight).

    This is going to be Floyd's best performance since Marquez. People are going to go wtf this negro doesn't age

    I dont think Mayweather would come into the ring with utter disrespect for Guerrero power like he did Cotto's, and being that the Ghost is a south paw I dont see Floyd sitting on the ropes that much

    It doesnt matter if Berto was a hype job or not. Guerrero beat the man in front of him that nobody seriously thought could happen. He beat the harder hitting, bigger and faster fight. He didnt just win, he beat his ass. Just like we didnt think Floyd would sprout a tail, grow wings and start spitting fire at Mosley and walk his ass down. Just like Sweat Pea said, when you fight the best, it brings the best out of you. We have yet to see the best of The Ghost.

    I can recall what two left hooks Miguel landed downstairs when they were in the center

    Stop with your revisionist ****. There were plenty of people on the fence about the Berto/Guerrero fight. The main difference is that most thought Berto was too strong a puncher. Ortiz beat Berto in more impressive fashion and didn't end up looking like Quasimodo afterwards, to do it.

    Plus this was Berto after over a year lay off, plus coming off injury.
