It's true, none of teh top fighters are scared of khan, he's not a knockout artist, and he's chinny, plus he'll get you a good pay day, nothing to be scared of. Bradley is looking for a bigger better fight, it's that simple.
Well said...
I always see the question asked: How will you attack Mayweather? How will you break through his defense?
I suggest a paradigm shift.
How about going in with a plan to DEFEND against Mayweather? How will Floyd feel when he can't hit you at will? When he can't get his offense off? When he feels uncomfortable because he isn't piling up points?
Now, you may ask :"Floyd's offense is not all that. Why should I be worried about his offense?"
That's the person from OUTSIDE the ring saying that. Once you get into the ring, those punches don't feel great. The guy has 25 KO's. Corrales, Hatton. Gatti. Good fighters. He knocked down Marquez. His offense had Shane completely discouraged. He isn't quite the feather-fist you imagine. Guys aren't trying to walk through him.
If I was going to fight Floyd, I would be focused on a BALANCED fight plan. I would be concerned with my defense as much - if not more - than my offense.
Believe me: Floyd expects every opponent to attack him. Judah did. Hatton did. Oscar did. Shane did. Ortiz will.
Flip the script. Give Floyd something to think about. Make him have to come out of his shell OFFENSIVELY.
For discussion....thoughts?
Easy saying it another thing actually doing it.
pacroid is no threat......he's losing to the 40 year old marquez's of the world. the guy is by far the most overrated p.o.s. in the last 25 years.
Pac is way overated - Marquez beat him 3 all three times :fing02:
Cotto will hurt May but there is no way that he can win. Only option Cotto has is to TKO May early however with those 8oz gloves Cotto aint got the fire power. May gonna outbox him all night. May wins on the judges scorecards.
Cotto will win the first two rounds then Mayweather will control the fight. Cotto a big name, MGM Arena always sell out lead to fights with Canelo, Martinez, PacMan and Margarito 3rd fight.
Floyd will not KO Cotto at any point of the fight. Cotto is stronger and has a better chin than most of the fighters Floyd has faced. If anyone KO's anyone in this fight it will Cotto KOing Floyd but don't see Cotto landing any big shots on Floyd. UD win Mayweather.
Cotto and his circus can fight with whatever joke of a formula they have conjured up. It will not make a difference as Floyd is going to school him in similar fashion he did Marquez.
Cotto is a good fighter but he way head over heels if he thinks he will defeat Floyd. Good pay day for both boxers.
Retire before you get seriously hurt by a better fighter than Cotto, which there are plenty out there better than him.
Pacquiao TKO'ed Cotto 3 years ago and even if he didn't win by stoppage, and it went all full 12, Pacquiao would have won 10 rounds to 2 on my scorecard. Plus the KD's.
Catchweight or not, Pacquiao dominated and stopped the c class fighter like he was supposed to. Mayweather is an elite fighter, A+. Cotto is one of the best of the C class.
Cotto is over-rated by many people
Cotto will win the first 3 rounds and will score a knockdown. Mayweather wont take any big punches after that and control the fight the same way he did against Marquez. Mayweather win by UD.
People that call Floyd boring are Manny Duckiao fans. Floyd is a proper boxer that has defensive skills that are unrivalled by any other. Pac is just a brawler.
PacMan would die if he fought Martinez. Pac is going to want to trade punches Martinez is stronger and just as fast as Pac. One big bomb from Martinez and Pac will be seeing stars. Pac needs to be beat Bradley first but that aint going to happen.
