I don't believe Cotto is on a declined either. Back in Cotto's younger days he always faded after 8 due to his poor conditioning which is his biggest weakness. He faded badly against margo, faded against mosley and he faded against Pac. I think Diaz has improved Cotto greatly and perhap boxing better than he has ever before when he fought Floyd.
I don't know, I don't find any of them to be slick at all, it's just a stereotype that gets labeled to black fighters, because you can't call them "exciting" or "warriors" so they need some type of title. Bradley would be the best of those but Pac already beat him.
slick black fighter = zahir raheem, joan guzman, floyd mayweather mosley and clottey are zero parts slick bradley did his best impersonation of a slick black fighter but i would not categorize him as one. jmm is clearly slick and i thought he beat pac twice. u don't have to be black to be slick. *see spadafora, martinez, malignaggi
Pacquiao didnt beat Bradley he has an official loss even after their "investigation" by these "experienced Judges" of which they never named a single judge who looked at that fight a 2nd time..... Nothing was over turned its a loss deal with it
He's trying to fight Floyd but Floyd wants 100% of the PPV or no fight, definitely not an offer that any rational person would take. On paper it's a loss, no ****, thanks for reminding us what we already knew. Doesn't change the fact that 99% of ringside experts had Pac winning.
No even at his peak he never really was IMO. PBF was a stylistic nightmare for him and would have beaten him going away.
No, I don't think he was as much of a threat(or treat for that matter) in a fight with Floyd at anytime. Also, to those of you talking De La Hoya being weight drained@147, do any of you know who DLH was preparing for @147 before Manny stepped in?
