When MAYWEATHER Throws Combinations...

[Gino Ros]

To be honest with you, I haven't seen Cotto do anything to suggest he's stronger than Floyd. People confuse physical strength with power.

He physically pushed Margarito around the ring.

And he LOOKS thicker and more solid around the shoulders than most ww/jmw's.

exactly, Mosley did an even better job than Cotto at manhandling margarito and has always had a very impressive physique. Floyd ended up handling Mosley the night they fought

Mosley is different because Shane is not a trench fighter. Shane likes to slug, and I never really saw him wrestle or tie up until Marg.

Marg hates to do that. He would rather be throwing 80-100 punches/rd

I see all these fans saying how Floyd is feather-fisted. OK, fine. But if that's the case, my question is this:

Then how come guys don't simply try to walk through him? Why do guys with good chins stop throwing once they start getting countered?

Exactly. You should go Mexican style and just go in. They're not ******. I don't think the opponents really talk about his power in interviews. But those combos aren't a joke.

The same can be said of Cotto

Mayweather's body punching is very underrated.

That jab to the body offsets his opponents most of the time.

Then out of nowhere a straight right is tattooing your chin.

Then out of nowhere a left hook and/or right hook to the body unfolds.

Lately he's been throwing straight rights to the body.

They're sneaky bodyshots.

For those that know what they're looking at, it looks like art the way he does opponents. I don't think people realize how hard doing that is. Then again, I don't see anyone ever doing Mayweather's style.

You are absolutely right.

And I posted after Cotto-Marg 1 that Miguel's inability to clinch and chew up the clock cost him the fight.

these latino guys undervalue clinching

That is more of a Mexican style than a Puerto Rican style.

Benitez clinched strategically. So did Macho.

The thing that bothers me about Cotto is that he doesn't trust in his conditioning. You can almost see when that switch goes off in his head that his fuel gauge just hit 'E'.

In the 11th round vs Mosley, he started backpedalling and backing to the ropes.

lol your a idiot and floyd wont put pressure or throw as many punches as mrgarito did

He doesn't need to
