why was Cotto able to reach Floyd..

No, I didn't. I just I saw no way for Cotto to win. And in reality, he only won 3 rounds. When has 9-3 not been dominant in a boxing match?

Stop with the revisionist bull****. Take the ****ing L, be a man and take your medicine, Mr. "Anything can happen". atsch

 

Great jab, well prepared, in great shape (despite what people say . . . yes he was not in PBF shape but who is?), not to mention a much bigger man.

 

I agree about Cotto being patient. While Mayweather was terrific on the ropes Cotto would take a step back when he went into the shoulder roll and picked his shots.

Everybody seems to be in a hurry to land something big when Mayweather is on the ropes and he rolls it easily.

I still think its about the jab and the clinch to have success.

Jab at his chest like Oscar did to drive him back its not as easy to slip and counter.

That said you also need stamina, patience, chin too. Basically be awesome lol
