    good. Floyd wouldnt throw half the punches Cotto threw at MARG. the ones he did throw would be pop shots. ..Floyd would drown against Margo.

    his upper cuts and body shots are probably the most quallity in the WW divison of those kinds.

    floyd doesn't have to throw half the shots, he's the most accurate fighter according to combubox stats.

    love floyd or hate him floyd is a smart man in the ring and listens to his corner.

    that's not a s common as you might think in pro boxing.

    Bingo, especially the right uppercut when he is in close leaning on him.

    he doesn't need to have the same workrate as cotto to beat margarito

    all he has to do is outland toni, pot shots are fine if toni isn't hitting floyd in return

    and to continue the water analogy, he wouldn't drown, he'd surf

    to someone who does not care about pure boxing and want to see a slug fest yes i can see why, but i think its brilliant to see a much smaller and weaker man beat a guy bigger and stronger then him over 12 rds.people dont know its harder to box then to slug as yo boy cotto.mayweather is a cardio beast and the only way to survive a margo fight would be to stick and move not stand there like hes a big natural ww.damn people get serious.

    would he laugh at floyd's footwork and defensive skills compared to cotto's?

    boxing isn't all offence, you know.

    Then a lot of people would be pissed.

    Not much else to say.

    exactly

    Cotto tried to 'do a floyd' against Margarito, but that's not the fighter he is, but it is the fighter Mayweather is, obviously

    he wouldnt out land Tony lol.. are you crazy? Floyd would barely throw and Margo would hit em 20 times a round. Marg set a record in the Clottey fight with most punches thrown...he hit Cotto 48 times in one of the rounds...you do count body shots dont you?

    Most likely because he thinks he is being a ***** by running.
