Floyd's speed is overrated

[rizkybizness]

Yeah you forgot to mention,

Miguel Cotto's punching power is equivalent to Mike Tyson's power

Miguel Cotto's chin is equivalent to Marvin Hagler's chin

and

Miguel Cotto's foot work is equivalent to Muhammed Ali's foot work

don't be ridiculous

what's so outlandish about saying cotto's handspeed compares to floyds at 147?

[Chunk..]

Mayweather's foot/hand speed and lateral movement is better then Cotto! Even at 147.

How can Cotto be as fast as Mayweather?? Handspeed is something you can't develop. It's natural

Speed is like many physical attributes in boxing, it can be improved and noticeably at that. What you can't improve though, are your physical limits. For example, Cotto could improve his speed, but its very unlikely he will ever be as fast as Leonard at 147.

I do agree with the original poster, though. Floyd is fast, not doubt, but his speed does tend to get overrate an bit on here. His accuracy is what really damages opponents.

Although Sugar May Floyd might disagree with this since he claimed the other day that Floyd was faster than Ali, Leonard, Taylor and Roy Jones (P4P).

Somethings being said and posted now are just plain ol' retarted.

i'm starting to think people dont understand what the term "overrated" means.

overrated doesnt mean you're saying something that's false, it just means you're exagerrating the truth.

The 4 fighters you listed are arguably the 4 quickest fighters ever


In comparison to Cotto, Floyd is faster by quite a margin, Cotto isn't renowned for his speed

its true that cotto isnt renowned for his speed but take a look at his hand speed VS mosley & margarito

Floyd's speed is far from 'overrated'.

And Cotto does not match Floyds speed, Floyd will very easily out speed him.

Very true, I was merely pointing out that some of the Floyd fanboys clearly overrate his speed.

But to answer the original question, Floyd would outspeed Cotto at 147. Cotto sits down on his punches too much to be as fast as Floyd.
