    You stay close to Floyd and you'll get countered and punished A LOT.

    The way to beat him is to take a gun into the ring.

      Trinidad just needs to take the back seat and stfu. Besides this interview is old, read it a while ago on a PR website, it was just brought up now to stir some ****.

        Problem with this part is that, Floyd is very consistent at countering body attack. I think the best way to have a chance of beating him is to make him be the aggressor, but you have to have great footwork and hand speed to constantly make him pay.

        Floyd has the ability to cutting off the ring and apply intelligent aggressive pressure against his opponents, but at the same, he's really vulnerable to get hit and inconsistent at applying that type of strategy (If there is one main weakness in Floyd's repertoire, this would have to be it). Someone who has good footwork and underrated counter-punching skills like Martinez and maybe Pacquiao would give Floyd a lot of problems.

        This.

        Floyd's uppercuts are insane, especially since he turns his body into them and away from the shots while at the same time stepping around if he chooses to. His spacing is also amazing..so you're most likely going to eat something hard on the way in, and something as you try to get yours off. Floyd's style lends itself well to fighting even if he was tired.

        Although..like someone said, a well placed body shot like the one Oscar took is in the realm of possibility. Floyd allegedly has jacked up ribs does he not? Still...I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd punishes Cotto's body instead..people forget about Floyd's body punching.

            Canelo is only getting 1.2m? I thought I read somewhere that Cotto is getting 20 million plus.

            Also what does ppv upside mean?

                    I heard floyd gets 70% of the gate and Cotto will get 30% and I also heard Cotto will get all the PPV buys but I'm not sure.
