Comments Thread For: CompuBox Stats: Cotto's Drive Drops Floyd's Connects

[biglou88]

All this **** about Mayweather making the fight tougher is BS. I can't remember the last time Money was mobile. It was just a tough fight and thats it.

He shouldn't have to make excuses about a bloody nose and having a cold and injuring his hand, these are excuses made up not to make him look vulnerable. Floyd, No need for excuses you won congratulations, now fight Manny.

It was not the same Floyd last nite. He only had a clear domination of Cotto in the last round. Yes he won the majority of rounds...although I had it closer than the judges. But regardless...this was not the same guy who dominates everyone for 12 rounds and got bloody up...and although Cotto was in pretty good form last nite...he is not a top tier fighter...even Mayorga had his moments against Cotto and Mayorga is a guy who gets paid to make people look good.

[Carpe Diem]

He did it intermittently because he cannot do it for 12 rounds anymore, yes Cotto may have pushed him to be flat footed a couple of times but it is more of Floyd's doing. He was flat footed against Ortiz, and he was "intermittently" flat footed against Mosley....

And for the last part, doesn't that make you wonder the big myth about Floyd's great punching accuracy all this years is just that, a BIG MYTH.... Floyd fighting a mobile Cotto only produced 26% percentage for him, Manny fought Cotto the same way and he got 43%...

Is this your way of saying Manny is a better accurate puncher than Floyd?

When they invented CompuBox they should have though of a way to include body punches. I'm not just talking about this fight but all the fights CompuBox has covered over all the years and that they do not count body blows. But judges rarely do either.

Manny does have better accuracy. Remember I guaranteed you Floyd's would be less in this fight.

They do count them compubox is very accurate.

Look at the punch zone stats to check ou the body blows.

This idiot actually thinks jabs shouldnt be counted in punch accuracy percentages because it would make pac have a higher connect average. Thats how ******ed these cum guzzling queens are. they worship pac as a god.

floyd was throwing alot of pitty-pat keep busy punches(alot like mosley does), probabley what lowered his connect % the most

This is bout the 2nd time I found myself agreeing with you. I really don't like that much but it is what it is. Floyd really did throw a lot of meaningless punches & really missed a lot. I think the fight was pretty close up until the championship rounds where Floyd swept them still competitively but swept them.

I also think that Floyd's fans cannot grasp the fact that Miguel fought Floyd that well & most are upset that everyone doesn't agree that Floyd dominated. I really haven't seen more than about 2 people claim that Cotto won, but Cotto did win more rounds IMO than the judges credited him for.

The tougher your competition the less impressive your +/- will be. Retiring with no losses is more a sign of careful matchmaking than anything else. No one is unbeatable, because as everyone should know by now, styles make fights. People like to repeat that all day but it's staggering how few people actually understand the concept.

Wess: Floyd knows he can't be as mobile as he used to be. He's said his whole career that he wants to give the fans what they want to see, but he maybe can't be as mobile for 12 rounds these days. No problem, he still put on a solid performance. But no, don't buy into his bull**** and think he's invincible and can literally do whatever the **** he wants to in the ring. Sorry, as Cotto's trainer said, invincible men only exist in the movies. Mayweather looked human but talented, which is exactly what he is.

styles make fights only applies when two fighters are only able to fight one style. Floyd can fight multiple styles, he's a unique fighter compared to just about everyone in boxing right now save a small handful of fighters (Sergio Martinez, Andre Ward, Adrien Broner to name a few)
