Will Mayweather or Cotto Be Physically Stronger on May 5th?

I think it's important to note that, when fighting on the inside, physical strength isn't the be all and end all. I think Cotto is probably physically stronger (not by much), but it means very little when a) he never uses his physical strength to impose himself, b) he's not the best of inside fighters to begin with, and c) the fight won't require either man to show his physical strength, because I don't think it'll take place at close quarters like the May-Hatton one did. Also, Mayweather gets the better of his opponents on the inside because he knows all the tricks in the book. He knows how to tangle, block, give no room/leverage for anything meaningful to be thrown, and is just an overall nuisance to handle. None of that is achieved because he's stronger. It's mainly smarts.

 

Cotto is physically stronger but it won't matter.

 

i rarely see floyd get out-muscled on the inside or pushed backed while clinching. besides punching power, he seems very physically strong in general similar to Ward. we'll see on May 5th

 

Doesn't matter.

People are consistently taken aback by how strong Mayweather is once they fight him, simply because they always underestimate that part of his game.

 

Mayweather needs to become stronger to KD Cotto when he's not ready to take a punch.. Most guys call "s*cker punch".. :yep

Cotto will be stronger but not too much.. :hey

 

That's mainly because he's really smart. Not because he's physically stronger. He knows he can stand there and nullify their attacks with ease. No need for him to back up. He can just stand his ground.

 

No, he goes 12 rounds harder than any ww today. Fighting at sww, Floyd will be the stronger man.

 

...it's because he's shot.

everybody can see right through the new coat of paint and spit shine job the *****s are doing to cotto.

IT AIN'T WORKING.

 

Not sure if everyones seen it, over at the left hook thats bad:

BREAKING NEWS: Mayweather Breaks Hand in Sparring, Fight with Cotto Postponed Indefinitely.

........

Looks like May 5th aint happenning.

 

Wow!

 

Do you ever contribute anything valid to any thread?? atsch

 

gfy

 

Floyd has great stamina I'll give him that!

 

Well Mayweather he knows how to move up in weight correctly and he's just plain better than Cotto he will be pushing him around all night and winning by a pretty wide margain if he doesn't stop him cause Cotto has always had stamina problems and running out of energy and not being able to punch back ..year your gonna get knocked out.
