There is a point where he hit Marcos with a beautiful overhand right and Marcos walked through it and landed a good body shot himself. He doesn't have any power left. Floyd loses his next fight if it is against any quality puncher who is technically sound. He'd be best to fight Garcia next, Khan, then Maidana in a rematch if he wants to keep his "0." This version of Cotto, Porter, or Thurman beat him pretty bad at this point. The Maidana v. Floyd fight goes in with the likes of Whitaker v. Hurtado, Oscar v. Forbes, Jones v. Tarver I, Hearns v. Leonard II, and Lewis v. Klitschko. All fights were the legend did win but you KNEW they weren't themselves and never were again.
Floyds clearly not the same but he still won clearly and fought maidanas kinda fight. Your going way overboard cotto beat martinez who is an ageing fighter with lots of injuries. he fought well but would you of said the same thing after the trout fight? People get way too hyped up, floyd would beat cotto again. Porter and thurman are bein over hyped too, people these days hype anyone who has a little power..lets see them fight to some live fighters.. at this moment i feel thurmans the better fighter. I think brook will beat porter.
This video beg to differ... it a clean punches breakdown of who landed effectively in round 6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4tJxcU8J0M
:good You might be right about that, people DO get over hyped, ESPECIALLY with keith thurman, who I think is overrated with very vulnurable defense, yes he is very fast with good power. But thats it.
Cotto would knock Void out in a rematch. Pac would stop Cotto again. Golovkin would knock Cotto out, HBO wants that fight, but Cotto will refuse.............
i think floyd is ther to be taken. id like to see him rematch cotto at 160 and prove that he made the fight harder the he had to by sitting in the pocket
This. Round 6 was one of the more dominant rounds of the fight... in favor of Mayweather. Not a close round.
Wow they counted mayweather's taps but not maidana's in round 6 analysis But mayweather being too underestimated at times
Which of these top victories was being "properly matched?" Don't you think that if he didn't fight these guys, you'd all be claiming he never fought any future HOF'ers and thus never competed against the best of his era? Which of these are match ups that show he was never "good to begin with," I'm curious... 12-0 + a KD over future HOF'er Juan Manuel Marquez? 11-1 over future HOF'er Shane Mosley? 9-3 over future HOF'er Miguel Cotto? 8-4 over HOF'er Oscar de la Hoya? TKO10 over future HOF'er Ricky Hatton? TKO6 over HOF'er Arturo Gatti? TKO8 over SFW lineal champion Genaro Hernandez? TKO10 over consensus P4P top 5 Diego Corrales? 2X UD12 over LW lineal champion Jose Luis Castillo? MD12 over JMW lineal champion Saul Alvarez? Current P4P stars, future Hall of Famers, and lineal champions; the best and most meaningful opponents available.
Madaina won the first 5 rds, 8 and the championship rd 12. Floyd did not do enough to take Chinos belt. It was a robbery. Even fat Rafael had it 115-113 for floyd, and he gives floyd rds for looking cute. That in of itself tells you Chino won. A rematch in Buenas Aires is in order.
i think as valid as floyds resume is. i think the fact that factual evidence shows many of those fighters ducked floyd when they were at there best and floyd was doing everything and anything to get those big name fights
correct me if im wrong but didnt marcos come out recently and say he thinks he lost ? i remember after floyd cotto. cotto said he was robbed
Floyd won't have to worry about too many guys fighting him dirty anymore. Nobody else fights dirty at ww or jmw who is known to boxing fans.
