    I'm sorry but your blatant worship is obvious against the backdrop of these exaggerations and straight up nonsensical statements.

    Margarito was wrong for Cotto the same way he was the first time, especially at 154 with a size advantage, and only two other ATG's with much more physical ability were able to decisively beat him. Floyd is not the most defensive fighter to ever live, and he has his flaws. Cotto doesn't "normally" work that damn effectively off a jab, maintain balance as well, circle laterally so masterfully, or use as much punch variety...Diaz has reinforced his fundamentals and vigor like it hasn't been in a while; I fail to see how he's looking slow. Pacquiao and Floyd are completely different fighters, so that comparison makes no sense at all. De La Hoya made Floyd look timid nearly the whole fight, so pretending world class trainers haven't been able to touch Floyd is an extreme.

    If you think Floyd wins, fair enough, he should be the favorite, but people need to stop saying things that are irrelevant to or distort the dynamics of this match-up for the sake of their favorite.

    Well then this adjusts my prediction.

    Mayweather TKO11 is now Mayweather TKO10
