No he wouldn't. That uppercut in the fourth round would've knocked down anyone. That landed flush and Cotto didn't see it coming because it came from such an awkward angle.
But Mayweather would never ******ly trade with Pacquiao, and would never punch himself out.
That was a right hook then left uppercut and nothing was awkward about the angle in which it was thrown. Cotto was just caught trying to throw punches and not protecting himself after he threw. He missed wide and got caught. Anyone can get caught but Mayweather would not take that overaggressive approach. That's why he throws 1-2 punches at a time because it allows him to throw and see what is coming back at the same time. The more u throw punches the less time u have to protect yourself. Mayweather does have a decent chin but he is not trying to put that on display.
i think we might see it a few times, most southpaws have penetrated that impregnable defence of floyd mayweather
but to the degree of it being the same as the one pacquiao landed on cotto or any other punch with the force to actually knockdown/ko floyd, is a whole other story
It doesn't matter because Pacquaio won't land that uppercut on Mayweather. He will land fewer punches than Marquez and none of them will hurt Mayweather.
I can say with confidence that Mayweather will not get hit with that punch. it just won't happen.
That whole sequence was mostly Cotto's doing. Floyd just will not take that chance. He would never in a million years come forward with a combination that leaves himself open just so he can return fire. Cotto felt he was slowly getting to Pac on the ropes so he got reckless. Floyd Mayweather doesn't get reckless. Ever. Even when his opponents are hurt, it's all calculated punishment.
