Pound-for-pound boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) believes WBA junior middleweight chamopion Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs) is using some of his movements, and tactics, in the ring. Several years ago, both boxers were stablemates under Las Vegas-based Top Rank Promotions.

Yeahhhh. I don't think so.

I think he learned his style in the Amateurs and from his first fight to Margo II he's been basically the same guy style wise.

Sure he's made adjustments. But not enough for me to think he picked up anything from Floyd.

No Floyd, he fights way different from you. He only does that pseudo shoulder roll block but that's it. There's also about 30 other boxers who do things in a similar way that you do, they all copied you too?

[thuggery]

Possibly true for the shoulder rolls at least.

Cotto isn't as good at it though.

No way he dont run around the ring throwing pot shots> Cotto actually fights and isnt boring to watch like Floyd is

Damn. You really hate Floyd.

[Carpe Diem]

Cotto does try to emulate Floyd at times.

I do believe Cotto sat there and watch him. Floyd was climbing fast and Cotto at the beginning was a student of the game. Even with his limitation he tries a vague version of the shoulder roll.
