    How the hell is giving away the championship rounds Floyd style? Floyd has great stamina and understands the psychology of securing rounds. You won't ever see Floyd foolishly giving away the championship rounds, or use the stupid strategy of only trying when there's only a minute-30 seconds left in a round.

    Cotto(e) got some bodyshots in on FLoyd throughout their fight. What did Floyd do in the final round? He gave Miguel 2-3 uppercuts to remember him by and hurt him more than he did in any other round.

    Floyd has become more offensive as he has aged. emmanuel has become more sloppy but more importantly no longer has his "select" opponents available.

    emmanuel looked bad against Juan because Juan was that good that night and gave the kid a boxing lesson.

    Timmeh tried to implement the Juan blueprint and used what slickness he has to protect himself.

    emmanuel couldn't land much clean on Timmeh because of Timmeh's head movement. People are finding it hard to credit Timmeh for what he did well because they're blinded by their outrage of him getting a gift.

    emmanuel isn't competent in certain areas like cutting off a ring. This showed itself as early as the Mosley fight. Anyone who wasn't blind about emmanuel accepted this. The Timmeh fight once again highlighted his inability in this area.

    I think being cautious is a style buddy.. :smoke

    For example, on the open weight division.. If I'm fighting guys weighing 100+ kilograms, I'm reduced to a cautious defensive fighter.. But when its guys like on 55 kilograms up to 60 I'm switching to the aggressor style.. :hey

    So I guess.. If being aggressive is a style and so is being cautious.. :smoke
