who's ass is that in your avatar?
..I disagree 100%, I had Shane only winning 4 rounds and after reconsidering I feel more now that one of those rounds were even.. Mosley was the puncher in this fight and got out boxed, I'm still in somewhat disbelief because I thought Cotto would be the aggressor and he WAS but only for the early half, not only was he able to switch up but he was HIGHLY effective, he was faster and smarter than Sugar Shane Mosley, this fight COMPLETELY solidified my thoughts on Cotto being a Puncher/Boxer with a great chin, the most hardest combo to beat in Boxing, tied with a percentage fighter i.e Floyd Mayweather, a fighter who brings just enough to defeat his opponent, the only time he brings 70% is if his opponent brought 65%, same as his 90% or just about any percentage, he uses any tactic including mind games to win over fights..
against Baldomir Floyd proved that because all he did was pop shot Baldomir, he could have taken more chances and went for a knock down or something, he certainly had the skills to let his hands go and dig deep for a better visual victory BUT he chose to just be only 1 step ahead of Tata and fall back, he has a winning style because he knows how to WIN, he brings just enough to the table to beat his opponent and fend off punches, he doesn't do no more than that.. the only time he brings 100% is when his opponent does, he will bring 20% if need be but can ALWAYS step it up to 100% according to his opponents, if they step it up then he will too, Cotto however always brings you his best shots, he CAN switch it up but he looks more to hurt with every shot even if he's trying to fall back as he did in the Mosley fight, he moved back a little more than usual but still when he struck he swung with an intent to hurt Shane, Floyd DOESN'T do that, Floyd fights with power but his whole game is winning rounds, doing enough to win fights with his elusive style..
Floyd is a percentage Boxer and Cotto a Puncher/Boxer, to each other they are the 2 biggest threats to one another, it boils down to who gets off better with their respective styles, I personally believe Cotto will prove too much for Floyd, I think Floyd hasn't faced someone as skilled and as strong as De La Hoya and De La Hoya was basically playing the role of Hamster on the wheel, Floyd should have worn trunks with cheese drawn on them because Oscar was a rat chasing the cheese on a string all night and wasn't smart enough to catch his meal, COTTO on the other hand IS smart enough for Floyd so with these 2 it boils down to who gets their **** off 1st..
if Floyd finds his rhythm and can study Cotto to a TEE then Cotto may very well be ****ed, if Cotto cuts the ring off for his onslaught combos and applies some his own quick 2, 3 punch combination Boxing then Floyd will be ****ed.. this fight will just have to happen to see who will win. I pick Cotto in that fight but as for Shane and Cotto it was CLEAR to me that Cotto won after further evaluation, I however thought they would steal the fight from Cotto so I was shaky in decision time.. anything involving De La Hoya in any way ever since he fought Sweet Pea, Bazooka, Molina and Sturm scares me, I see robbery painted all over it.. 100
