    i think cotto is alot stronger then henry and a better boxer with though a similar style.i think mayweather would have used his legs more in a cotto fight but i think he still dominates.he might fight cotto like he did baldomir i think.

    no..but it's definately part of his arsenal...and as the past has shown, when you take a fighter out of his comfort zone, things can change......floyds forearm and elbow are illegal, so he should've been warned more often...nobody ever told him **** for it....

    yea he does rarely get warned for it and i agree he does use it often when in a real rough fight...but i mean its boxing he doesnt throw the elbow...he does create space with it which still is illegal...but i mean its a smart tactic and obviously he isnt doing anything to alarm the refs about it....so i mean who wouldnt....i know you know their is plenty of dirty tricks in lots of fighters arsenals. I dont think it would change too much in outcomes...what fights do u have in mind that would have changed?

    DO YOU BLAME HIM or anyone else who says **** the fans at least he AND Arum are honest about not giving a **** about the fans and treating it like a business Pac says the exact same thing but since he smiles when he says it its cool, why would you care about people who wants to see you get beat up because they dont like you and cant do it themself

    I wouldn't compare Brussels to Cotto, but Mayweather would ****ing massacre Margarito with one hand, lets be realistic about that.

    As one of Floyd's biggest fans, I can't deny that his career post 140+ has been a disappointment and filled with woulda, coulda, shouldas.

    It makes me sick how blind some of his fans are to the facts. If you think about it, it's always the same idiots saying woulda, coulda, shoulda lines.

    the thing is, he does it so damn much and without it, other fighters would've had a better chance to counter.....

    The reason I can't say anything about Pac is, he has been fighting the best fighters available since he's moved up. There is no woulda, coulda, shoulda with him. HE DID.

    I will say that it was absolutely rediculous in the hatton fight, mayweathers forearm was never out of Hattons face, almost literally.

    Arum says **** the Fans and **** his fighters to their face ALL THE TIME FOR the last 40 yrs but people hate don king, for doing the exact same thing. but Arum gets a pass for putting on ethnic based fight cards instead of talent based fight cards, he calls his fighters fans stupid all the time and has been doing it for years but most are actually too stupid to realize he is insulting them when he does it and plays them and when fighter wants to get their own money ie HOYA or floyd or SRL he acts like **** towards them think about that. always remember ARUM quote: "let the blacks and the latinos fight and we'll collect the money" now replace black and Latino with any other ethnic group he is pimping out of their money at the time and you have another cash cow that he can milk on their heritages fanbase pride
