Cotto wasn't consistent enough with his jab. Although, he has used his jab more often than Floyd has used his, but Floyd is way more sharp and accurate with it. Cotto tried to used the jab and moved backward in the late rounds, but he didn't had the same success as he did in the earlier rounds as a result of the punishment he had already suffered in between rounds.

The key to Manny winning this fight is quick movement in and out, and side to side to keep floyd off balance and unable to effectively set up his defense. Which would be very hard to do given Floyd's ability to neutralize opponents movement with his accurate punches. Floyd has to be the obvious favorite in this fight, but it is far from a given.Comment

strategies, surprises, speed, punching power and stamina will play big in a pac vs pbf bout...Fraud's philly shell defense works well against orthodox fighter's because the power-side of the punch which is the right hand can easily be ducked under from the inside but it doesn't have the same effectiveness against southpaws because the power-side of the punch goes to the inside part of the defense which is the front of the face, chest and body. Especially southpaws with speed, power, conditioning, aggression and the same experience as he is like Manny. Pot-shots are good if they have good power to go with it which we know Fraud hasn't in the welterweight division and his low-punch output will not deter Manny from attacking him swiftly and constantly. Manny also has a "good chin" and a more better condition athlete than all of Fraud's past opponent's. Manny throws a lot of combos but he only needs one to demoralized him or Knock his A$$ out?! Nuuuuf Said!!!
there will be a display of brute offensive thrust vs defensive moves...but it can also boil down to who can impose his will over the other....
pbf is a master cerebral, technical fighter........the better boxer
however, being better stops when you got hit real hard....
when the legs start to wobble, the head becomes cloudy and the eyes see birds flying over head then the end comes sooner than expected....
pbf may be able to school pac and pac may be able to take away pbf's 0....
that is the beauty of boxing.....
but guys, whoever wins the pac/pbf fight(s) is second only to the real winner...the boxing fansComment

I have said this before. Floyd likes the pace of the fight to be like a chess match. Trying to get his opponent to come down to his pace.
Manny on the other hand should try to throw numerous combinations. I'm not talking about a 2 punch combination. I'm talking about coming in, throwing a 3+ combination then stepping out.
Floyd, as seen on that small clip tends to go defense when he sees the opponent throw combinations. It's like a built in mechanism. Almost like the Clottey turtle position that he does when Manny threw those combinations.
But its true that taller men have an advantage in that they can go over the shoulder roll or can use their reach advantage to get to Floyd even though he leans back to avoid a punch.Comment

With Pac speed and power alone would be more than enough to land those similar punch Mosley landed on Floyd (round 2). Floyd knows the risk and saw it from his very eyes how Pac destroyed their common enemies and those he ducked like a plague but the *****s pea size brains still can't figure out why Floyd asked for OST.Comment

They all say that til they get hit. Mayweather is very hittable, and can be hit flush.
If he chooses to run, then let's see if he can hit and not get hit.Comment
