        He won't do the full 90, he will be apart from everyone else and will probably still working out in the cell.

        If convicted felons and murders can get in shape in prison I don't see why Mayweather can't remain in shape for a month or two

          I think Cotto lost before Hatton

            and honestly, a prime 135 JLC is much more impressive than this version of Cotto


            but hey, dont get me wrong...i'll be rooting my ass off for Cotto...i just can't see him winning
            Oh no doubt, that 135lb version of Castillo was much more dangerous than a 154lbs Cotto....by far.

              You're not exactly as fleet footed at 35 as you are at 23.

              The good thing is he is aware of it, and embraces it... where people like Roy don't think it's happening.
              That's a good assesment.

              Mayweather certiainly doesn't have the legs he had, say, 4-5 years ago.

              But he sure as hell doesn't have "shot" legs.

              I'd say 50-50 is about right, perhaps choice-60, age-40.

                Not even close....Douglas beating Mike is bigger than any upset ever in boxing IMO.

                  Cotto doesn't want to be trying to box and outjab Mayweather. He needs to use his extra strength and power to get him against the ropes and try to hit anything he can.

                    You might be right but posting that video to validate your point is laughable.

                    Cotto has one of the best jabs in boxing and to compare his jab and timing to the guys in that video is laughable.

                      Honsetly IDK how to asses his "legs" situation because he never fights the same way in each fight. The way he fought Oscar isn't the way he fought Hatton. The way he fought JMM was the same way he fought Mosley. Granted I don't see him bouncing in and out like the Gatti fight but I still think he has great legs for his age. He runs I believe 10 miles a day. If you can run 10 miles a day I would assume you still have legs. No way I see him turning into a RJJ. I mean B Hop is 46 and he still has some legs to compete at a very high level.
