    cottos is better but he doesnt throw it "technically better" floyd is superior technically compared to cotto...cotto is much tougher and stronger than floyd...but technically better shows ur ignorance to the sport

    I actually never seen Floyd throw a left hook. I see him only shoulder rolling and following up by right hands.

    What could Cotto do to "technically" improve his left hook?

    Mayweather can cuff with it at times as the man said.

    in terms of one punch measured by power = cotto

    but mixed in throughout a fight = floyds may be more dangerous becasue its thrown more technically....

    different angles and different times

    :lol: :lol: Money uses his left hook like a jab. Connect percentage is not even close Money is almost 50%. Cotto does nothing better then Money. But Cotto is a beast Mayweather is just a different dude his talent speaks for its self.

    I agree however in volume; while Mayweather is faster and catches people not expecting it which imo has more effect.

    I like Cottos left against Judah though.

    I think mixed in with his attack ... no one does it better than PBF ... he incorporates his body attack with his boxing.

    Cotto's main asset is his left hook to the body while PBF's is to the body and to the head ... his left hook to the head is alot better than Cotto's left hook to the body IMO.

    :lol: It shows my ignorance? Oh please, :roll: don't school me on something you know nothing about son. Floyd may be better technically and skill-wise overall, but in the contest of left hooks Cotto throws his the proper way with a correct 90% angle, turning over the elbow to produce the proper arch or hooking of the arm. Floyd on the other hand tends to drop his elbow at times which takes a little power off the punch since you're not turning over the arm the proper way when you do that.

    Tell me how I'm wrong oh great "boxing guru". :lol:

    I think Cotto's left hook is the best punch in boxing currently and is better than Floyd's. When he doubtles it up it's a thing of real beauty.

    Cotto is superior to Mayweather technically. It is not close.
