Diaz: Mayweather a normal fighter

[CubanGuyNYC]

Don't care if you didn't ask me, it's a public forum, so here:

You're just a hater, how about him taking on almost the entire 140 division - his jab, movement, and power punching is one thing. And then his whole style to the game is another, never changed his face in that ring, he can bounce with the best and is solid all around - you nigas forget Cotto got battered with plaster then lost his uncle as a trainer and his passion for boxing, followed by a demanded catch weight to fight the P4P guy (among other things), then losing his pops. Then he comes back and fights guys naturally bigger than him - Takes Foreman's 0 away (who was supposed to outbox him), showed he has crazy good movement when he got his balance back - everyone has flaws - you prolly like dudes that get knocked the **** out off one punch(P. Williams, Kirkland, Jacobs), Cotto never has *****. Then he batters Cheato and shoves him around like a lil hoe, showing that Margarito cannot hurt him without plaster. He got REVENGE, haha. Shouldn't even respond to an ignoramus as crazy as you. Prolly one of those "Only Pacman, Sergio M. and Floyd are elite fighters type of dudes." Hilarious some of you claim to be a fan of this sport and cannot appreciate a throwback fighter of Cotto's magnitude. There's a reason why REAL boxing guys like Steward and Roach have claimed Cotto is a force, and Mosley saying he's not to be taken lightly. Steward is actually a huge Cotto fan. Dude been pounding bigger fighters than him for years. He whipped Quintanna who outboxed P. Williams years before he lost to Martinez. But did he get love for that? NAAHH - none of them did, only from a few objective fans. The biased against PR's is crazy. Martinez gets mad love on here yo, if he was Rican that should would be a different story. You judge Cotto's career and never watched his tapes more than likely - Ceballos, Urkal, etc. Floyd ducks and dodges *****es all day and fights dudes w/o **** left. And whatver opponents they share, Cotto knocks out, while Floyd goes to a decision, except for Shane. Cotto's win over and active Shane >>>> better than May's over OLD MAN Can't Pull the Trigger Mosley. Cornball wanna call out Pacman then not accept 50/50. May 5th that 0 will go.

lol Good post. I agree with most of what you wrote and disagree with some (not worth getting into). The only thing I must point out is the last sentence. Not very likely.

all diaz probably meant was that floyd is human and can be beat just like everybody else.

smh aint anybody thinking diaz doesn't know how good floyd is.

There's no question Diaz knows how good Floyd is.

I didn't listen to the interview. Did you? If you didn't, neither one of us can know what he meant. We don't even know if he called Mayweather "normal." Too much speculation. What people are doing here is kicking around what Pedro might mean if he called Floyd a "normal fighter."

I wonder if he means that they will prepare a counter for those right hand leads. One of floyds bad habbits since his return is that he relies on his right hand much more now than he did in his prime.

It's not much of a bad habit since it's his most effective punches beside the left hook. I think one of Floyd's main bad habbits is that he lays on the ropes too constantly and doesn't side stepping around the ring as much he needs to.

Floyd's been pumping his jab more ever since his return. Marquez ate a ****** amount of jabs, Mosley's head was snapping back from jabs, and Floyd jabbed more against Ortiz than he did any other southpaws he has faced.

What's wrong with using right hands for an older fighter? Bernard Hopkins is fighting forever and utilizes the lead right without even setting it up via jab.

But hopkins gets away with it because he smothers you right after the punch to avoid retaliation.

It just seems like if your training for a floyd fight, thats probably the punch a person will train to counter off of since its a guarantee that you will see it alot.

Floyd has some defensive maneuvers he employs after leading with a right like head movement, clinching, pivoting, etc. I see him using them more as he ages and slows down.
