May vs Cotto FO: handshakes and compliments?!

Mayweather has always had respect for Cotto and liked him..

You're right about Floyd studying Cotto's reactions during the Face-Off, but I completely disagree with you about Miguel falling for Floyd's psychological tactics. Miguel is just as intelligent as Floyd, and you can tell from his body language that he's well aware of Floyd's intentions with his odd behavior during the interview. Doesn't work on him.

No he didnt, he made silly jokes about Ortiz, he even made silly jokes about Marquez being the peepee man...He did to Ortiz what he did to Marquez...just made a few jokes, and Ortiz and his camp started getting loud on the press tour, and screaming and acting like they were going to win the fight, and Floyd just made more jokes about Ortiz...Now compare what he did to Ortiz, to what he did to Mosley...what he did to Mosley was TRASH talk..what he did to Ortiz, was comedic banter, quit overexageratting Sounded like trash talk to me but whatever, it is what it is.

the way floyd was gushing and was all goo goo eyes when looking at cotto , it made me wonder if oscars suspect ways havnt rubbed off on floyd !!!!!!!! now i see why floyd sr didnt want floyd hanging around elerbe !!!!! because now floyd is on tape staring into cottos eyes , while initiating hand holding and complimenting him on the way he dresses !!!! wtf !!!!! as a floyd fan how can you show your face in public !!!!!!!! I dont know what you were looking at, but I saw a professional fighter studing his opponants reactions. That look in Mayweathers eye, is that of a sniper,zeroing in on his target. Cotto has the wrong tempermant going into this fight. Mayweather has Cotto filled with questions. The minute Cotto takes his foot off the gas, hes gonna crash head on into a light pole that came out of know where!

Mayweather has a lot of respect for Cotto, as he should.

Mayweather was just playing mind games with Cotto. He doesnt respect Cotto at all, you will see in the fight. He knows that Team Cotto expects him to be trash talking and acting crazy. Mayweather has Team Cotto guessing just like he has most of you guessing. The man is a genius at mind games. From The requesting for the score on the game, to talkng about his bet, to looking at his email on his ipad, to flipping his chair around. Cotto was serious as a heart-attack. He sees how cool calm and collect Mayweather is, how Mayweather is not even worried about him. This is disrespect x 1000 to a professional fighter. Its nonverbal body language. Cotto has all kind of questios in his head. Mayweather is straight with his plan, and he knows he got Cotto mentally, right where he wants him. Cotto is better now than he ever was. The rest and slow comback has reenergized him. He is boxing better,stronger jab, better stamina and strength at his natural weight,and a higher ring IQ due to experince, but none of that will save him from the beat down he has coming in the near future.

He trashed Ortiz hard throughout that promotion. What are you talking about? No he didnt, he made silly jokes about Ortiz, he even made silly jokes about Marquez being the peepee man...He did to Ortiz what he did to Marquez...just made a few jokes, and Ortiz and his camp started getting loud on the press tour, and screaming and acting like they were going to win the fight, and Floyd just made more jokes about Ortiz...Now compare what he did to Ortiz, to what he did to Mosley...what he did to Mosley was TRASH talk..what he did to Ortiz, was comedic banter, quit overexageratting

Wrong again...Floyd trashed talk Oscar and Mosley because he hated them and it was personal...Floyd respects Cotto and Marquez, and Ortiz, thats why he didnt trash talk them!..Floyd has a BIT of character, and its no need to be mean to a guy that stands no chance in beating u...thats just being a bully He trashed Ortiz hard throughout that promotion. What are you talking about?

;11970323']If its one Floyd is completely aware of and constantly bothered by, its the comparisons to Pac. You don't Think he knows that people will compare this fight with Cotto to Pac's fight with Cotto? You don't think that outselling Pac against a common opponent is important to Floyd? Trust me, he knows all this. I do think that Floyd wants to beat Cotto better than Pac beat him, but none of that has to do with how Floyd has conducted himself! As I see you ignored all of my points! Floyd only trash talks when he has a personal beef, but why would he trash talk Marquez, Ortiz, and Cotto? Im making points your making some points but not solid points! Floyd is going to be Floyd with or without Pacman, and guess what if Cotto starts talking trash, Floyd MAY talk trash, but Cotto could NEVER make it as personal as it was with Shane and Oscar! As Floyd put it, "Im a person who loves hard, and if you cross me, I HATE hard" Lets see what happens if Cotto crosses Floyd! Matter of fact, Ortiz's trainer called Floyd a dirty fighter, and now he is on Floyd's ****list! Floyd will never forget it!

First of all Pac NEVER beat Marquez...second of all, Pac would NEVER fight Ortiz..like I said before...You think Floyd is THAT smart, and putting THAT much thought into it?.."If I trash talk they will think he's a bum"..What does trash talk has to do with u being a bum?...U act like Floyd HAS to say, "Im gonna beat u because ur washed up and u lost to pac"...Floyd can say ANYTHING, he can say, "Im gonna beat you because no one can beat me...Im unbeatable...Ur slower than me"...Like I said before, u gotta accept the fact that ur wrong...on that face off, all I saw was how much he respects Cotto...he didnt treat him Like Mosley...he and Mosley have a history, he and Oscar had a history with Oscar acting like he was better than Floyd,...Floyd just admires cotto, just like EVERYONE admires him, and he didnt trash talk Ortiz, cuz when he first met Ortiz years ago, Ortiz said some kind words to him and Floyd never forgot it...ur speculating, but its bright as day, that he admires Cotto, he shook his hand a thousand times...Yall hate being wrong, and its not even that big of a deal! If its one Floyd is completely aware of and constantly bothered by, its the comparisons to Pac. You don't Think he knows that people will compare this fight with Cotto to Pac's fight with Cotto? You don't think that outselling Pac against a common opponent is important to Floyd? Trust me, he knows all this.

;11970251']Yeah, thats it. Its only coincidence that the only 2 fighters that Floyd "respects" happen to be 2 guys that Pac already fought and beat, right? Riiiiiiiight...... First of all Pac NEVER beat Marquez...second of all, Pac would NEVER fight Ortiz..like I said before...You think Floyd is THAT smart, and putting THAT much thought into it?.."If I trash talk they will think he's a bum"..What does trash talk has to do with u being a bum?...U act like Floyd HAS to say, "Im gonna beat u because ur washed up and u lost to pac"...Floyd can say ANYTHING, he can say, "Im gonna beat you because no one can beat me...Im unbeatable...Ur slower than me"...Like I said before, u gotta accept the fact that ur wrong...on that face off, all I saw was how much he respects Cotto...he didnt treat him Like Mosley...he and Mosley have a history, he and Oscar had a history with Oscar acting like he was better than Floyd,...Floyd just admires cotto, just like EVERYONE admires him, and he didnt trash talk Ortiz, cuz when he first met Ortiz years ago, Ortiz said some kind words to him and Floyd never forgot it...ur speculating, but its bright as day, that he admires Cotto, he shook his hand a thousand times...Yall hate being wrong, and its not even that big of a deal!

How many people see him to compliment other fighters and act buddy buddy? Doesn't mesh with his persona. he was still being disrespectful

Just accept the fact that ur wrong..Floyd is not even putting that much thought into it.."If I talk trash they will think he's a bum"..what does trash talking have to do with u being a bum...when ur trash talking ur bragging about what ur gonna do to the other guy, but Floyd OBVIOUSLY admires Cotto, he showed in the face off that he has a tremendous amount of respect for him..its OBVIOUS that he just likes the guy!...You gotta accept that ur wrong! Yeah, thats it. Its only coincidence that the only 2 fighters that Floyd "respects" happen to be 2 guys that Pac already fought and beat, right? Riiiiiiiight......

floyd was still being an a.s.s.hole

That was Bull****. Wasted 15 minutes of my life.

;11970215']Haha! Gtfoh with that sh*t. He aint talkin sh*t because everyone knows Pac destroyed Cotto. He knows that by downplaying Cotto, it makes him look bad for even taking this fight. Cotto already took terrible beatings from Marg and Pac but he wants us to believe that Cotto is undefeated and is in his prime? Respect? Whatever you say buddy. Just accept the fact that ur wrong..Floyd is not even putting that much thought into it.."If I talk trash they will think he's a bum"..what does trash talking have to do with u being a bum...when ur trash talking ur bragging about what ur gonna do to the other guy, but Floyd OBVIOUSLY admires Cotto, he showed in the face off that he has a tremendous amount of respect for him..its OBVIOUS that he just likes the guy!...You gotta accept that ur wrong!

You don't choke and eat people's nose you respect. He didnt choke him be foreal...Floyd didnt say anything about Ortiz...Ortiz and his camp started acting a fool on the press tour and yelling and screaming, and getting in Floyd's face at the presser, but Floyd STILL aint trash talk him...Compare what Floyd did to Mosley, to what he did to Ortiz...Floyd went FULL THROTTLE against Mosley he said and did everything he possibly could, be foreal, Ortiz didnt get that kind of treatment

Just as Max was remarking to Cotto that it seems like he needs to get back to old Miguel Cotto, the one that would bully his opponents and break them down, Floyd cut him off and redirected the conversation. Floyd's mannerisms and behavior on the Face-Off were a strategy, just like anything else. The less animosity Miguel has towards his opponent, the less likely he will be to become a bully in the fight and break Floyd down a la Miguel Cotto at junior welterweight. The smiling, the excessive praise, the distractions - all part of Floyd's game plan.

Wrong again...Floyd trashed talk Oscar and Mosley because he hated them and it was personal...Floyd respects Cotto and Marquez, and Ortiz, thats why he didnt trash talk them!..Floyd has a BIT of character, and its no need to be mean to a guy that stands no chance in beating u...thats just being a bully Haha!
