after watching his open workout earlier, i have to admit, he'll never beat floyd, never...floyd said it best, 95% of a fight is won in the gym...i know cotto trains hard, and he has his mystical pace, and good body attacks and all, but he looks too slow to impose his will on floyd...you all know how floyd hits the mitts, quite possibly the best technique to have, because all boundaries are covered...i don't see cotto beating floyd at all...and i have felt this way since they were both at 140...at 140, cotto would have been crushed very bad....that was floyd at his absolute prime, as far as entertaining to casual fans, seeing how he had this killer instinct ala gatti, corley, and bruselles...now, seeing how floyd hits the mitts and jump ropes and how fast his reflexes are, and how he changes his tempo(you see all of this in the way he trains), cotto really doesn't stand a chance against floyd...he is slow compared to floyd and you have to be really fast to compete with floyd...and that is just one aspect...cotto has a tempered pace, and it is going to get him killed fighting floyd...i don't care if this is just a open workout, and light workout...from what i've seen in the past, cotto is a great fighter, a special fighter, but compared to floyd, he's just another number on floyd's undefeated record...floyd will use cotto's pace against cotto, just wait and see...when cotto was fighting gomez and margarito, i seen him try to use the shoulder roll a few times, and it really didn't work for him...i wonder where he got the shoulder roll from...probably the same guy who shane got the jab to the body from...and he uses it sloppy also...he is so stiff when he fights, mosley, that is...you can tell from body positioning and stances, and movement around the ring, that floyd mayweather is as naturally pure as it gets...cotto imo is more relaxed in the ring than mosley, but he will take a serious beating from floyd...shane would also...
i don't care who i piss off with this...i really don't give a ****...cotto and mayweather will fight, and cotto is in for a very long and negative night...i'll start taking bets now...
the reason i put this, is not to really **** on cotto...he's a truly good fighter, but when matching him with floyd, i have to look at how theyt both train, because the gym is where the art stars, is where the operating room is, and seeing how cotto hits the bags, mitts, and jump ropes, and does his pushups, situps, what have you, i can't help but make a post like i did...it just seems as if flody trains on a higher level, with blazing speed, great intuition, smart thingking, he covers everything, from just punching the mitts, which is why his reflexes are so sharp...i mean, i know it's a routine he's been doing for so long, but it's been a key component to why he is so pure and good...i mean, the counters, the blocking, of the face, chin, and body, the defensive routine that he does off of the ropes when roger is throwing punches at him...i mean, this isn't freddie roach throwing punches at pac, this is the black mamba, a former champion throwing punches at floyd who is blocking, dodging, slipping, and countering all of his shots...it's a spectacular routine, which is why many fighters go to the mayweathers for it, like oscar, hatton, chad, forbes, and whoever else...but it seems as if floyd has mastered it so well and uses it better than any of them, which is obvious he does, but it's also a reason why he moves so effectively around the ring, blocks good off of the ropes, throws beautiful punches, changes his speed and pace, i mean, this is why this man is the most unbeatable fighter out there...cotto would put up a fight, no doubt, but would be torn apart and overwhelmingly outclassed...so would shane and pac...i can't wait to see all of these fights...Last edited by pbftxrs316; 06-08-2009, 03:02 PM.Comment

That's why people always end up saying: Oh you know he is faster than he looks or like Jennings; He got great range. People forget he counter SSM all night long,meaning he was "FASTER" than Shane....even SSG admit Cotto was faster than advertise,c'mon people...if you going to make and argument make a good one with "facts".Comment
