    margarito and Cotto weak against southpaws

    Marg has 6 losses on his record, and 3 of them came at the hands of southpaws. Cotto was doing the chicken dance against Corley and desperately low blowed Judah twice.

    How come we don't hear any stories about these guys being WEAK against southpaws? We hear it about Floyd, but the truth is he's dominated every single lefty. The 6 lefties that fought Floyd only managed to win a meagerly 3 rounds against him.

    Cotto 'desperately' KO'ed Zab, crushed Quintana in 5, same with Corley. So yeah, real weak...

          Ah, you guys are slow. Floyd does a MUCH better job against southpaws than either guy, but why is it Floyd who's "weak" against them?

            Your forgetting that Corley also hurt PBF. Cotto's weakness is not against lefties. A durable pressure fighter with a very good uppercut is more of a threat to Cotto than a southpaw is.

              It's cool that you like Cotto, but how do we explain marg's OBVIOUS flaw against southpaws? 3 out of his 6 losses have been against lefties.

                most people struggle against southpaws anyway but floyd's style is based on the shoulder roll and that doesn't work well vs lefties. his own dad who created floyd's style said that. "don't put my son in with a southpaw!" plus williams and pac are much better than corley and judah so it's ****** to compare them. margarito's loss to jones was very early in his career and the santos fight was a robbery. cotto knocked out judah and corley while mayweather got rocked by both and knocked down by judah in decision wins so i don't know how he did better than cotto.

                  Cotto does well against southpaws. Manny was just too much for him. Too fast, too busy. Some guys have no clue how to get their punches off against lefties, not Cotto.

                    Yeah, I don't get it either since Floyd lost to an orthodox fighter in Castillo. Castillo isn't a southpaw.
