(HBO 24/7) / Mayweather - Cotto / Part 1

It was awful. There was an interesting story to tell about how both had domineering fathers, but they didn't really do it justice.

Roy's early years were horrifying with that tyrant of a dad. Joe's 20s were pretty terrible too.

 

They did one for Calzaghe/Jones? :rofl I don't remember that.

 

Why where Joe Calzaghe's 20's terrible..?

 

i mlove cotto but it never looks to me like he trains with enough intensity. on the pads it is always thrown at 60%. where are the sprints, the hill runs etc.

this is where he l;acks and his stamina is poor late as a result

 

He suffered with depression, was breaking his hands nearly every fight, had serious fall outs with his father, wasn't enjoying life with his wife...

He had a pretty **** time.

 

How do you know this...?

 

I think he limits what he does for the cameras, hence the slow laced pads and whatnot. Never gets re-weighed before a fight either, which would also lend to the claim he keeps his cards close to his chest.

 

I'm sure it's in his book, but I also heard it from a friend of a friend who slept with him around the Manfredo fight. She was the first person I heard i from about his white powder habit.

 

Similar to his behaviour in life, I suspect.

 

Still think Paul Williams woulda beat Floyd at welter or light middle before sergio broke his face

 

Castillo (second fight)
Corrales
Hatton
Marquez
De la Hoya kinda
Mosely
Soon to be Cotto

 

Castillo, Corrales and Hatton, while all good wins, are not great fighters
Marquez was terribly out of shape
De la Hoya was beating him before he gassed
Mosley was incredibly old, and was borderline shot

 

atsch Floyd hater, ok

 

He approached conditioning completely different for Pacquiao. Also, styles make fights. Also, Pac came in at the contractually agreed weight.
