Different fighters, different styles. More like if Mosley couldn't beat Cotto what makes you think he'll beat Mayweather?
well cotto beat mosley,margarito beat* cotto,mosley beat margarito
The thing with boxing unlike most sports is its a one shot deal with no team-mates,one night to prove who's the better boxer & on 11/14 miguel cotto will be the better boxer If cotto can go 11 rds with a big welter loaded gloves and all why wouldnt he be able to handle manny's power, he knows how to off set speed with perfect timing(his jab) and as far as stamina problems nobody was saying that until margarito.Bigger,Stronger,Smarter...Cotto
You think Cotto would beat Tito? :rofl::rofl:
All day. That's why tito never endorsed him. But he supports bum ass JuanMa. Cottos resume ain't far off from trinidads. And we NEVER seen Cotto get his ass handed to him except for the Pac fight. Trinidad got spanked by Hopkins,Winky and RJJ. And was clearly outclassed by dela hoya.
Whether ppl wanna acknowledge it or not, the fact still remains Tito got busted with illegal wraps and only beat Mayorga after that. His resume is great but accomplishments are tainted
Are we talking about the same mosley here? The mosley who couldn't even pull the trigger vs mora, who ran from Pac all night? He's finished. This is just a check for him, not a gut check, but a paycheck. He will be thoroughly destroyed come sat night. He's no BHop,not JMM. There will be no miracle punch, no controversal decision. I wouldn't be surprised if he quit on his stool
Prime Paul Williams.
Tall Paul is and has always been too sloppy to keep up with mayweather. He is very active but leaves to many openings and fights down to his opponents size. He barely uses his length.
Prime....Paul.
He used his length in spurts. Like against Margarito. That Williams wouldve gave Floyd hell.
No, not in spurts lol. You can't beat may by using your physical advantage in spurts. The was just throwing mad punches like he always does standing there trading and getting hit plenty may I add. Stop playing
You guys are crazy! Canelo is going to destroy SSM and retire him. It's going to look something like when terrible terry norris killed SRL. I'll put up any amount of points on that!
Relax a little dude. Canelo is there to be hit. He is intense and a good combination puncher but let's remember, Jose cotto buzzed him REALLY good. Mosely>Jose cotto. Canelo has much more to lose than mosely. That, with mosely's power and experience against top tier competition, make sugar Shane extremely dangerous.
Of course Canelo gets hit, but that usually when he's right about to get them out of there.Mosley doesn't have enough of anything to beat him. Last time I checked mosley was the one on the deck,not canelo. And on the power tip, canelo > SSM
Canelo is definately the best choice, they would do big numbers and would be a great fight stylistically.win/win for both guys. And for the record Canelo is no hype job.
If the Oscar fight was a blueprint to how to beat Mayweather...Then Floyd is just flat out unbeatable.
That's what I'm saying! There's a reason why he couldn't keep it up all 12 rds. Floyd is a master at making adjustments during fights. There's a reason why castillo,judah,hatton,mosley and whoever else have LIMITED success. Once Floyd hits the switch he doesn't lose a rd.
I just hope miraculously he lands the jmm fight so jmm can tee off all night. I think van bam has heart but I definately feel his main advantage was being naturally bigger. Rios and Joan Guzman should fight too. Not only would it be action packed, but both would come in over weight so it wouldn't be a big deal LOL
i think berto would molest khan.
Gotta disagree. His physical abilities say so but his whole career has been a cake walk so he's gotten lazy to the point he basically just looks for one shot.
If he wins top 5 easily, but I don't see him winning.
He will try to make it ugly early but Dawson will clearly out work him. He'll have BHop in trouble all night.
Does anyone think he'll last the full 12? I think canelo will put him to sleep in the 7th. Time for the old dog to be put down.
I got Canelo stopping him in the 6th. I wouldn't be surprised if he stops him in 1 tho.
There are a lot of differences too tho, starting with training and conditioning. Throw in the fact that RJJ fights at the higher weight, taking harder punches. Plus Manny has a chin!
Bhop being bhop. Dictating pace and frustrating chad. I didnt see a huge speed difference like i thought i might, but i saw a ring iq difference. Bhop's feet were always in a superior position when punching.
Pace?? That was all Dawson!He said he would be aggressive because he knew B-Hop couldn't touch him.He wasn't going to let B-Hop bully him,not when that's the only way he could win and so he over-reacted when Hopkins JUMPED on his back.That wasn't out of frustration.Bottom line Chad won, would've won and will win again if threres a rematch. Dawson was turned up and ready to go. Hopkins knew it,look how long he took getting to thecenter of the ring for the ref's instructions.
i think the moment is now, cotto can box an win UD :boxing: jr is gett
ing better
Absolutely not! It would be a great fight while it lasts, but with Jr's chin,size and juicing, Cotto wouldnt be able to dance all night and I see it being alot like the first Margacheto fight.
Definately Ward! with the competition considered and Ward barely lost a round until he broke his hand against Froch. Now he got Dawson on deck, win, lose or draw Ward gets the utmost respect from me
Its Top Rank so its definately possible. They already have 2 bogus decisions under their belt with Abril/Rios and Pac/Bradley, why not go for the trifecta! lol
not to mention Jr doesnt have to submit MANDATORY pre-fight urine samples so...
Prime Tyson
Prime Roy
Sweet pea
Benitez
Sugar Ray
Gene Tunney
good list, but I think RJJ was a master at keeping his range and had excellent timing so he could strike but I wouldnt neccessarily call it defense and even if you did, his D isnt up there with most of the others on that lists.
Pac won clearly. I've watched it about 5 times and the most I can give Bradley was 4 of the last 5 rounds. I picked Bradley to win due to his aggressive style and thinking he would be able to bully Pac on the ropes, didnt happen often enough.Pac did have some wild misses but Bradley whiffed way more. Bradley got some real clean shots in those exchanges,again, didnt happen enough. There was nothing he did enough of or more effectively than the champ that night so i still cant see how he won...And adding on to the conspiracy talk, am I the only one who peeped Bradley making a lock/key gesture when being raised up before the decision?then it looked like he winked.Whats up with that?
