Who Can Give Floyd More Trouble?

[AztecWanker]

its between mosley and cotto for me. at this point mosley is a question mark for me, im anxious to see how he looks against a red-hot margarito. cotto will give floyd problems for sure, but floyd picks him apart as cottos defense isnt all that great. floyd beats margarito decisively though, hes just too slow and easy to hit for floyd.

cotto would be the best fight...but margo might make floyd break his hand cause floyd would be hitting his big ass head at will

I think Floyd would go to Margaritos body a lot and slow him down somehow, but that risk is there, I agree

Cotto for one big reason, Timing, Cottos timing is ridiculously good. And timing kills speed. Cotto have the hand speed and timing to deal with Mayweather, plus that left hook to the body, he will be lading it ala Castillo. Im not saying Cotto will whipe the floor with PBF, but theres a big chance that Cotto wins a UD or Late TKO. Im basing my thoughts on how Cotto dealt with Malinaggies and Mosleys speed and how hatton and Castillo were able to get to Mayweather. I agree that Mosley in his prime would of gave PBF lots of trouble, Margaritos style, is just to amateurish to beatdown Mayweather.You need to have a good offensive aresenal and very good boxing skills to be able to beat PBF. Styles make fights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all those who mention Cotto's jab... look at the punch... it's a power shot. it's not a fast jab, it is hard as hell, but i don't think it would be very useful against Mayweather, also considering the reach difference.

you do realize that Mayweather has better timing that Cotto, dont you?

I am surprised the poll has Cotto leading, surely a more entertaining fight, but I would put quite a bit more money on Marg than on Cotto against Mayweather.

Mayweather act by reflexes his timing is good but not better than Cottos. Timing is one category that Cotto is better than Floyd,including power and combination punching.

But Of course for Floyd Huggers, Floyd is god and nobody is better in any single category than Floyd!!!!!!!

What do you mean he acts on reflexes? How do you counter people? You look for openings, how do you find them? You look at the guy in front of you and act fast. Everyone acts on reflexes when countering or when you see an opening.
Now you are going to tell me, that Mayweather improvises at every punch the other guy throws? Really? How does he get sharper as the fight goes on then? Something to do with looking for patterns and timing them?

Mayweather's timing is the best in boxing today. Period.

90% of fighters throw combos on an even rhythm, Mayweather changes the tempo of his punching, that's how good his timing is. And that is one of the reasons (the other being what makes him boring too watch, his movement and stance which he changes throughout th fight), why many fighters stop throwing when they fight him, after a while they know the counters are coming on pretty much anything.

Obviously Cotto throws more combos these days for sure, and even more obviously has more power.

I am sorry it is SO hard to see things, clearly when you share some national/ethnic trait with a fighter.
