Why i think based on style Cotto will beat Floyd

[Dynamite Kid]

Excuses or not it is all true. I'll be glad if Cotto supporters think the Castillo fight is the blueprint to beating Floyd. I'm sure Floyd doesn't mind either(something he's seen before). If Cotto wants to get his ass beat by 100 percent Floyd(see late rounds of Hatton) or Floyd can beat him barely breaking a sweat.

Well whenever Shane was throwing that right upper it would land and his right was landing pretty good too.

And Castillo was not landing that flush as people make it out did to be, but he did a tremendous job in that fight, especially in the 12th. I had it 114-112 for Floyd. Round 3 ledderman gave that round to Castillo (idiot) by a weak flurry at the end that really didn't connect at all.

Round 8 (Castillo's point deduction) made it seem close by Castillo's good pressure, but Mayweather was landing some good shots and showing brilliant defense by making him miss.

Round 10 (Mayweather's point reduction) was Mayweather's round. It was probably his best in the fight and so it made it even.

Rounds 4, 6, 7, 11, 12 I scored for Castillo. (I think, let me recheck on that)

Mosley was landing pretty good he never wobbled Cotto niether did he win the fight i cant see that many + for him

Castillo landed right hands in the second fight aswell early in the fight ,anybody who holds their left hand that low is open to right hands its just a case of delivery i guess ,Malignaggi was hit all night with Right hands against Herman Ngoudjo & Floyd was hit with right hand by Castillo in both fights that posture is definetly open for right hands

[MELLY-MEL...]

well if FLoyd does not wanna engauge then Cotto should not start throwing lots of Leather at him & leave himself open to counters he should use the jab only & be more active throughout the round, if Floyd does'nt wanna lead to him dont get ****** in & start unloading that is how Oscar hit with that left hook he was controlling Floyd with the jab but got over excited & started letting to many shots go & left the door open for that left hook Counter

if u can win the round just by jabbing & being more active then that is what u should do cause Floyd obviously wants u to lead to him with more shots cause he aint gonna pick up that many counters of the jab if it is thrown accurately & with speed ,he sets traps dont fall for it man

very true my friend, but it seems it is much easier said than done! i think one major thing that pbf does that no one really talks about or gives credit for is the fact that he makes you bring the fight, but as he does it he exhuasts you in the 1st half of the fight, and does just enough to win the early rds, than when ur gassed he picks u apart! on paper it seems easy, and obvious but come fight time it is a different animal, and easier said than done! floyd does all the little unoticible things to get the job done. plus he has sick cardio, and has never looked gassed or even really looked tired in a fight. he is a freak, and i really think he may never get a loss! i think it is easier to monday morning quarterback on floyd than anyone. he is analyzed much harder than anyone, and many to have claimed the way to beat him and we know all how it has turned out thus far. mayweather 39, everyone else 0!

i agree Melly-Mel some good points

that is how i see it a perfect illustration Floyd Exausting his oponent in the 1st half of a fight & then coming on late to dominate was Castillo 2 IMO ,the subtleness that u talk about also seems to be the fact that he never lets u time his rythem he constanlty swtiching his Rythm so it is hard to set traps to land punches

im Still Rolling wiht Miguel Though

I think he hurt him in the 9th, but other then that not really. He was landing pretty good though.


Paulie is different then floyd. The reason why he was getting hit so much was because he was in the pocket. He has no power and should not be in there so much.

id say it was more because he circles to his left way to much unlike Mayeather he dont regularly change his rythm so it is easier to counter him

Cotto's step in isn't fast enough to pin Floyd. Cotto is very good at Cutting off the ring but can he cut it off as fast as Floyd moves? Can he time Floyd who constantly changes his rhythm? Can he outhink him? Is he willing to go through flames to land some of his own? Am I the only one who's mouth is watering at the thought of this fight?

[Dynamite Kid]

ive always been told that when your oponent moves to the right u are supposed to throw the right hand or anything right handed for that matter ,cause his momentum is taking him onto the punch if u land & if u miss u are'nt in such a vulnerable postition ,where as if u throw a left hook when your oponent is moving to the right you are in a much more vulnerable place to get countered IE Ricky Hatton & the chek left hook

I think this was the gameplan against Oscar and it was executed pretty well up until the championship rounds IMO.
