Comments Thread For: Mayweather Jr. Spars With Omar Henry For Cotto Clash

[DLT]

Cotto doesn't need the Southpaw/conventional work. He needs to deal with speed and counter punching, sharpen up his reflexes and cue his timing in. Something that Zab can provide, it doesn't matter the side it's coming from. That's like saying that Cotto wouldn't prepare for Floyd to switch stances.

Floyd hasnt done that in years. He's mastered his style now. Half the time those guys be switching when things arent going like they thought they would. Floyd aint going Southpaw probably ever again in a fight.

Also, the stance does matter. Its totally different timing and countering a Southpaw from an orthodox guy

Wasn't Omar Henry the guy that Roach tried to get as a sparring partner for Pacquiao but Henry said no?

Next thing you know Roach will say Omar is ducking Pac.. then Roach will rant on about how Floyd would never fight Omar or Pac.

This guys career could bloom quit well through the media....

Yea, that was back when he was in school.

It's pretty obvious he isn't getting Broner. I'd pick Judah. Call him what you may, he still has crazy speed and all Zab has to do is go full fledge for a few rounds at a time. The again his fight with Paris may rule him out.

All other options I can think of are all way below the JMW division, such as Gamboa (he wouldn't help cotto) and Guzman.

Judah and Cotto LOL they would be hitting each other in the **** too much

[NearHypnos]

Judah would mess around and land a legit left and Cotto would get hurt and it'd turn into a fight. Judah would complain "YOU HIT ME HARD IN THE **** FIRST!"...and Cotto would fire him. Then Judah's dad would hit Cotto in the leg with a weight, and postpone the fight. :|

Wouldn't it be wonderful if JR got knocked on his butt by OMAR and then KO'd by Cotto ?!!!

OH oh, sorry, I'll go back to me hole mangs, smiles

Cottos going to bring in Stevie Forbes to try and mimic Floyd. A few of Floyds opponents have used him in the past. If I were Cotto I would spar with Mosley. Sparring partners arent usually in fight shape but Mosley has his fight on the same night so he should be in shape. Those two could push each other. But Mosley trains in Big Bear and I dont see him going Miami or vice versa. But I would if were either fighter.

Henry has been used before... Cotto still wins. I don't see how Henry is as good as Cotto but OK. The boy doesn't have the counter-punching ability, footwork or incredible jab that Cotto has, gets hit way too easily when coming in. Besides that, Henry is pretty fast a has solid skills + power.

Cotto KO's Mayweather & Retires! PERFECT!!!

That couldn't be a better ending to Cotto's Hall of Fame career. Let Floyd spend the rest of his days answering THOSE questions, and going broke.
