I remember someone saying that Margarito made Cotto look somewhat like Pernell Whitaker at times during that fight and he was trying to use Floyd's style a bit ... and Margarito was missing alot ... just imagine (look at the avatar) how bad Margarito would miss against Floyd.
lol. man, floyd would be doing pernell whitaker & roy jones moves on that guy. lol. floyd would be talking about sports to the commentators during the fight. dancing and playing around.
Now that he is off the roids shane has actually become more dependant on his great boxing ability but he couldn't outbox Cotto On the other hand if Floyd was really a better man than Shane then he wouldnt of took all of Winky's public ridicule concerning the call-out-chicken-out episode
cotto always had the ? chin prior to the fight and a lot of people gave margarito a punchers chance because of that and that punchers chance pull off. They forgot how cotto was outboxing margo in the early rounds prior to getting hurt at round 7.. does floyd also had that ? chin, does floyd also had a ? stamina? - no.. floyd is very much known for his high stamina and he has a solid chin
Floyd has already beat two fighters of Margaritos "style" with one hand. He was injured in the Castillo Fight and in the Baldormir fight. Margarito has not even looked good against anyone remotely close to Floyds skill level with TWO HANDS! Clottey outworked Margarito and for the first half of the fight Cotto did too. I figure Cotto and Clottey COMBINED have 60% of Floyds skill level meaning that Floyd could show up, half heartedly and still be 10% better than Margaritos two toughest opponents. I am a Boxing fan and short of Knocking Floyd OUT COLD....Margarito aint winning.
.....but Floyd has a very questionable resume over the last five years or so and thousands of posters believe it has to do with a ? heart.
it had to do with desire and love for the sport. and his resume over the last few years is pretty damn good. hatton, oscar, baldomir, judah
Clottey only won four rounds at the most. Santos is a darn good boxer although he was recently beaten by a guy who would beat all mentioned above but just as with Margairto has a hard time getting a break...thanks to those Time-Warner scumbags that is
Its fair to give Clottey 5 rounds. 4 or 5 rounds is acceptable. Anything more or less is questionable.
