Mayweathers Right or Cotto Left Hook ?

I'll explain why: Because Cotto's left hook isn't nearly as effective as it was at 140, and he throws fewer body shots as well. It could be because his power isn't the same at 154 as it was at 140, but for whatever reason he doesn't go to the body like he did at 140. Mayweather's straight right-hand is his most effective punch, in fact he throws it more frequently at 147 than he did at 135-140.

not mayweathers right it is his LEFT hook on counter.

Mayweather's right.

Honestly, I think Mayweather will be ready for Cotto's hook. It's Cotto's jab I'm interested in seeing. He's got a pretty good jab, and from what I can recall from the DLH fight, Mayweather seemed to get hit with the jab more than anything.

would it be wrong if i said Floyd has a better left than cotto aswell? Not at all, he actually does in my opinion. Came here to say exactly that.

Cotto doesn't throw the left hook to the body very much anymore. Mayweather will land straight rights all day.

Floyd's right will tag Cotto all night long. It's a punch that Cotto is vulnerable to and it happens to be Floyd's best punch. X2 I'm very happy that Cotto is getting this payday. But man he's going to get tagged, with the right a lot.

Floyd's favorite two punches are his left hook and overhand right. It'll be interesting to see who'll get off faster when they both throws their left hooks. I think Cotto will be more comfortable throwing his jab more, and use the left hook less. Cotto should throw his left hook to the body when they're in the pocket, and use his jab when they're on the outside. I'm not really sure, Floyd is quick enough to parry with the right then counter with the right. Once or twice it could work but in the later round the counter would be a thing of routine.

I have a question. How do I make a tread using my iPhone?

Is this some sort of joke???!? Cotto's left.

Both very good punches. Cotto doesn't seem to be in as love with his left hook as he was when he was younger though. Mayweather's offense vs Ortiz was primarily lead straight right hands. Lately, it's Mayweather. Early in their careers though, I'd say toss up. Cotto crack with his left and it might be harder than Floyd's, but he doesn't throw it as much or as accurately.

Heres somthing ive been thinking about Skill May,Speed May,Power I say Cotto . Turn it in to a Brawl! Yea, but problem is that Floyd can punch...he's not a huge puncher but Cotto will have respect for Floyd's power. Floyd's also better in the pocket than Cotto...

I'd say Cotto's left to the body, but the question is can he get tru mayweathers defense? If they fight Floyd fight there won't be any space to atack the body. If for some strange reason it becomes a brawl & Floyd gets in the ropes & trades it'll only be a matter of a few Cotto body shots to make a big impact on the fight, but Floyd is a ring general & he will make Cotto fight from the outside. Btw I'm not a floyd fan. I'm a big fan of Miguel & I'll be rooting for him all the way.

Mayweater uses his left better than Cotto uses his left hook, but this thread is misleading. Overall, Mayweathers right is better because he is so accurate with it but he has yet to KO anyone at WW legitimately. Cotto's left while less accurate has more power and can end of the fight. The problem with this thread is that I don't think Cotto's left hook is his best punch at least in this fight. Floyd gets hit with a jab more than any other punch and Cotto's jab is quite possibly the best in boxing. It has power, quick and he is always moving his shoulders now making it hard to time with an overhand right. People say Cotto is open for it, but in all of his fights since Manny I can't seem to think of more than 4-5 that were even worth mentioning. Foreman landed 2 solid ones in his fight, and I remember one in the corner. With Mayorga Cotto got hit by two good ones that he buckled on. But this was from a 175+ pounder so keep that in mind. With Marg he really didn't land any GREAT clean solid punches, I remember more uppercuts than anything else. The fact is Cotto isn't really open for right hands, even Mosley didn't land THAT many and even those were looping and not straight rights. Floyds right isn't going to be used to go over Cotto's jab, it would expose him to be countered himself on feints which Cotto can do as well. This fight is much tougher for Floyd than people are expecting though I still expect Floyd to win, possibly controversially.

If he was sharper as a southpaw it would be a good idea, but he isn't. He wouldn't land anything. To be honest....and I'm as big of a Cotto fan as there is....but x's and o's wise I really just don't think he has a chance. I don't see what he can do, from a strategic standpoint. Everything he's good at, Floyd's better at. Cotto will find some early success with his jab but eventually Floyd will time it and counter over it with his right hand, completely taking it away. Cotto's right hand, while back, still isn't good enough to land with any regularity against Floyd. Floyd's length and sense of distance will render Cotto's offense completely ineffective by the mid rounds. I simply don't have the knowledge to come up with an effective gameplan for Floyd....probably why I'm not a trainer. Heres somthing ive been thinking about Skill May,Speed May,Power I say Cotto .

Yo flav by the way do you think thats one of Cotto's gameplans ? I'm objective and realist just want your thoughts on that. If he was sharper as a southpaw it would be a good idea, but he isn't.

Alright 11 to 4 that says alot.......

He doesn't switch much anymore and he's not really all that effective doing it. Just because he switches southpaw doesn't mean he has a good straight left....definitely not one that's as good as the Judah of 2006's.

Miguel switch's it's no biggie. He doesn't switch much anymore and he's not really all that effective doing it. Just because he switches southpaw doesn't mean he has a good straight left....definitely not one that's as good as the Judah of 2006's.
