    Yeah I think so. Floyd has filled out very well. Against Mosely, he actually looked like the slightly bigger man; I honestly believe he's stronger than what people give him credit for. Floyd proves this with an impeccable physical inside game. Simply put, he roughhouses opponents so well inside because he is physically built for it. And it's not only strength that comes to play, his length is an advantage inside and he knows how to use it. Floyd's shoulder roll is so effective because that combination of handspeed and 74 inch reach allows him to counter off of it with speed, leverage and precision. This is one of the reasons Floyd likes to back off into the ropes coz it allows him to lean as far back as possible without losing any balance then counter a popshot after the opponent finishes his load. Compare it to when Cotto tried shoulder-rolling against Pacquiao, he just got more beat up for his troubles (of course, it is Pacquiao the best offensive fighter in this era)...the point is, if Cotto had longer reach and the handspeed to get it off maybe he could touched up Pac on his way out.

    The main jist of this post is, Floyd coming from a boxing family...is well schooled on many tricks of the trade. When people say, Floyd is the most skilled fighter of this era, on top of being a great counterpuncher those skills include shadier inside components like smothering opponents, subtle forearms blows, holding an opponents head down, ducking illegally low which makes walking down opponents a good tactical strategy. A great example is the Mosley fight, Floyd was wearing down Shane just by leaning on him, weighing down Shanes attempts to punch (very tiring), holding his head down, forearm to the neck...not so much even throwing punches, just beating him up physically with all his tricks in his disposal.

    :yep

    Cotto(e) has some of the slowest reflexes I seen. He moves his right hand to the spot in attempt to parry AFTER he gets hit. It looks like a cheap windshield wiper.

    He also has short T-rex arms which makes it harder for him to counter off of it.

    Bingo. Stubby guys trying to play Gumby is one of the biggest mistakes that can be made in boxing. It's far worse than a daddy long legs folding himself up and fighting like he's a little tank (ie PTP)

    I1T2BOX, a big Cotto(e) fan, originally started it when speaking to me. I spread it. Then onepunchko who likes wacky and weird **** copied us by making his new account Cotto(e).

    "Gs", emmanuel, #TheMoneyTeam, etc are devices I can take credit for. Cotto(e) isn't one though. It is I1T2BOX's brilliant brainchild.:yep

    I just wish I1T2BOX would stop being shy and come out to take credit for his idea. Now everyone thinks it was onepunchko or the Cotto(e) troll who made it up.
