No, it's been said for some time he doesn't have the same mobility he used to.
Against Mosley he stood toe to toe, against Ortiz he stood toe to toe, it was no surprise when he did the same against Cotto.
There were times during the fight when Floyd tried to move away but wasn't quick enough and Cotto (literally) pulled him back in against the ropes with his left arm.
To re-iterate I thought Mayweather dominated a tough fight.
There's no shame in Mayweather fans conceding it was a tough fight, in fact there's more credit in winning a tough fight toe to toe, than an easy one moving around but it's delusion to claim the latter option was open to him on this occasion. If Mayweather could have made it easier for himself, he would have.
He's 35 not 55.Comment

It is not delusional because that is exactly what he did to Cotto in the championship rounds. Cheers.Comment

I didnt give miguel round 7. I thought the closest rounds that could have gone either way were 2 and 5 ( i gave 2 to miguel and 5 to may). Round 7 was close, not as close as 2 or 5 and i gave it to may.
I also gave round 3 to miguel, compubox was a joke in that round. It was a give and take round, one in which i couldnt complain too much about giving to mayweather, but cotto did do effective work in that round, landing many hard jabs and good body work, both left and right hooks.
All in all, i wont complain about a 9-3 scorecard, but a 10-2 scorecard, ya i will. Thats seeing the fight entirely through mayweather goggles.Comment

Here's the problem:
Bradley is built and physicall strong. But does he REALLY know how to fight inside? To me, Tim does "a Hatton". He puts his head on your chest and throws a lot of punches to your body and head and he uses his head *******ly.
That works against guys like Junior Witter and Devon Alexander who are not rugged, and who don't know how to fight inside.
That isht would not work against a Mayweather or Hopkins (for example). those are old-school guys who know how to use leverage, elbows, body position, etc.
Look at Floyd inside. He pushes you aside slightly. Locks up your arm. Digs a couple of body shots. Hugs you. Lets you go. Hits you with an upper cut. Then gives you an elbow in the neck for good measure.
Bradley is not a technical inside fighter, He is an energy inside fighter.Comment
