If Cotto KO's Mosley....

Go back and read further down the 1st page. It's so easy to start **** on these boards. lol

 

Those flurries won him many rounds as Mayweather wasnt doing anything only waiting for Oscar to do something, (those flurries were not that bad, a lot was landing on Mayweathers body but of course Mayweather fans will say that nothing landed - wonder how Mayweather got a bloody nose hmmm). Oscar stopped throwing those flurries in the later rounds and Mayweather started throwing more (most were blocked). All in all it was a desputable, close and unimpressive Mayweather victory.

 

Call it what you want but a win is a win. How many people have unimpressive victories over Floyd? Don't worry I'll wait. (c) Katt Williams

 

Yes a win is a win and he should get credit for this win no matter how ugly it was, however those who are saying he dominated or won easily are crossing the line. After the fight almost everybody who thought Mayweather won was in agreement that the fight was close, as time passes there are more and more who claim Floyd won easily.

 

It was no more impressive than another other UD win over Oscar. You may be one of the very very few whom after watching the fight several times actually consider the outcome "disputable" (and yes, i spelt it right). It was CLOSE, but not DISPUTABLE. You said it yourself, Oscar stopped throwing the flurries which STOLE round (not WON rounds) in the later rounds because he blew his wad trying to win the early rounds. He also stopped throwing the jab, either "it wasn't the night of the jab" or his opponent took away the jab. Notice the body jab to right-hand upstairs counter by Floyd early in the fight vs. later in the fight, it was timed off Oscar's jab. He negated Oscar's left-hook and jab better than anyone whose faced him. Hopkins, Trinidad, Mosely all ate more jabs and left hooks.

 

He didnt dominate but I saw where he could have if he had thrown more punches.

 

In the center of the ring Mayweather pressed the action. Look closely, Oscar only pressed action against the ropes. Mayweather led with left-hooks, right hands, and jabs to the pit of the gut in ring center.

Mayweather shoulder-rolled and circled when on the ropes, which was the only time Oscar truly pressed the action and let his hands go. And he wasn't effective when aggressive. Look at 5th round: Right hand counters off the ropes that yes, buckled Oscars legs.

 

Cotto be the better fighter than ko'ing Mosley would be a single bigger achievement than any Floyd Mayweather fight. It would be an all time achievement, that ranks with shockingly good wins, I'm thinking Hearns-Duran even.

Mosley has moved up 20 pounds, faced bigger, stronger and harder hitting guys and only been hurt one by a good Forrest punch, a man who is quite bigger. Mosley has a chin, heart, skills, stamina and this all makes him very durable. Any man who puts Mosley away would be amazing. If a C level fighter did it, I'd just think he was shot.

 

I read the first page. I don't understand why you made that statement. :huh

 

It was similar to Tarver Jones where Tarrver was active on the ropes but RJJ dominated in the center of the ring. Oscar lost later rounds due to fatigue but he won many of the early rounds and at the end I had it a draw, the commentators had an Oscar victory and the judges had a SD win for Floyd. The fans were also not unanimous in this regard. It was a close and disputable decision.

 

Just to wake this thread up.

 

For the last time, I was joking about that. I still say Cotto aint KO'ing Shane though. He doesnt hit any harder than Oscar does and Shane went to to toe with Oscar in their 1st fight.
