Mayweather vs. Cotto post fight Thread -DON'T make new threads about the fight

[Biolink]

even if that were the case, he usually becomes a different fighter by the middle of the fight. he has a habit of fading in the latter half of fights. i dont expect any difference with floyd.

Cotto late in fights

So does Oscar.

I agree he could totally get on his bike late, if he feels the pace or Floyd hurts him.

But either one doesn't happen he's usually fine. Like the Judah fight.

[IronDanHamza]

Don't come at me with that BS Dan.

Have you seen Cotto fight?

He fights at a consistent pace for 3 mins a round.

Oscar would jab and pose than flurry once and while and than go all out with 30 seconds left.

I know you've actually seen boxing.

I've seen Cotto's entire career.

And, you really think Cotto fights for 3 minutes a round?

Then what on Earth was he doing for the Championship rounds of the Mosley fight?

The second half of the Pacquaio fight?

He doesn't fight at a consistent pace for every minute of ever round in any of his fights. Not from what I can see.

Perhaps the Zab Judah fight.

[Evil Abed]

So are you saying Cotto is fighting the same Floyd
Oscar fought...?
that was 5 years ago

I think Cott's fighting a stronger/ more stationary Floyd.

[-jose-]

You proud countrymen are seriously the dumbest people on the planet.

why partner??

I'm I suppose to say-I know Floyd is going to win.
and join the rest of the Floyd followers,
it won't happen.
I do respect the true Floyd fans though.

come May 6
I'll be the only Cotto fanatic around
or they'll be many
depending on results...

Perhaps the Zab Judah fight.

Both of those fights he either chose or was forced on the back foot. I'll admit when in boxer mode he goes into a counter-puncher mode. Though in both Margo fights even when he was tired he threw alot.

But when he's not in that mode he throws at a consistent pace.

Especially in comparison to that Oscar Del Hoya.

Which was the point of my comment.

Is crazy that many Boricuas don't give Cotto
a chance no offense I respect your opinions but
that's crazy...

I remember when the US Dream Team was unstoppable
in the Olympics...
Unbeaten nobody could FU•K with them
and Puerto Rico beat them:

ATHENS, Greece -- The USA basketball 'dream team' was humiliated 92-73 by the minnows of Puerto Rico on Sunday in one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history.

I don't know maybe is the pride I have for my island and the
talent that comes out of there...

Floyd will be the next Dream Team to loose to a Boricua

WAR COTTO

As far as the bolded, who played on the U.S. squad?

But doesn't that mean he doesn't fight at a consistent pace?

Whether he chose of was forced he didn't fight at a consistent pace in those fights and in plenty, actually.

The Mayorga fight even he didn't fight every minute of every round.

The second Margarito fight he didn't.

He just doesn't.

And he won't against Mayweather either.

He'll start running in the second half of the fight like he always has against the best fighters he's faced.

[Casual_Fan]

Cotto just aint that good man.he is a solid fighter but not elite..you are asking to much from him

Zab Judah uttered similar words about Cotto.

[Casual_Fan]

As far as the bolded, who played on the U.S. squad?

Iverson, Lebron, Duncan, Melo, Wade, Odom, Marbury, etc.
