if so your saying mayweather has a better chin than cotto(which im not here to debate whether he does or does'nt, but i would like to read peoples opinions and see how many think he could stand back up as cotto did).
Judah landed a few hard ones on Mayweather and I dont think Manny has a harder or more explosive first punch than Judah which is what you have to hit Floyd with because its doubtful your going to hit Floyd with more than one punch at a time
I can say with confidence that Mayweather will not get hit with that punch. it just won't happen.
That whole sequence was mostly Cotto's doing. Floyd just will not take that chance. He would never in a million years come forward with a combination that leaves himself open just so he can return fire. Cotto felt he was slowly getting to Pac on the ropes so he got reckless. Floyd Mayweather doesn't get reckless. Ever. Even when his opponents are hurt, it's all calculated punishment.
It doesn't matter because Pacquaio won't land that uppercut on Mayweather. He will land fewer punches than Marquez and none of them will hurt Mayweather.
There, as they say, lies the problem.
i think we might see it a few times, most southpaws have penetrated that impregnable defence of floyd mayweather
but to the degree of it being the same as the one pacquiao landed on cotto or any other punch with the force to actually knockdown/ko floyd, is a whole other story
No he wouldn't. That uppercut in the fourth round would've knocked down anyone. That landed flush and Cotto didn't see it coming because it came from such an awkward angle.
But Mayweather would never stupidly trade with Pacquiao, and would never punch himself out.
That was a right hook then left uppercut and nothing was awkward about the angle in which it was thrown. Cotto was just caught trying to throw punches and not protecting himself after he threw. He missed wide and got caught. Anyone can get caught but Mayweather would not take that overaggressive approach. That's why he throws 1-2 punches at a time because it allows him to throw and see what is coming back at the same time. The more u throw punches the less time u have to protect yourself. Mayweather does have a decent chin but he is not trying to put that on display.
ok cool, just wanted to respectable posters posting some legit comments.
the pacman has got the power, all he needs is the connection

I'm not entirely sure which uppercut you're talking about, so I'll just say that, yes, I believe Mayweather could take an uppercut from Pacquiao and remain standing. And also, that the punches that were landing flush on Cotto, most likely won't be landing flush on Mayweather.
it was a counter, if floyd decides to lead with a left pac could be there with a left uppercut

mayweather took some sharp shots from judah and a few flush hits from admittly a lightweight marquez
he also took a left hook and right hand from de la hoya in the 12 rnd final few seconds
took a few digs from corrales
AND HE HAS NEVER EVER BEEN HURT
mayweather has an excellent chin but he just does not need to use it!!
Agree with this...
