Comments Thread For: Bradley's Trainer: Mayweather's Age Catching Up With Him

[Rome-By-Ko]

Floyd adjusts, just adjust with him. Hit him with the jab while you can, then he will duck down to his left to avoid it, so feint the jab and throw a right uppercut into Floyd's chin as he ducks. Move to your right, toss the jab and hit him with a right to his left oblique as he shoulder rolls the jab.

Just pay attention to how he fights, everyone can be figured out.

I don't know if it's as easy as you make it sound...But anyone can be beat..

I believe Floyd chose to brawl with Cotto in those middle rounds. If you watch the fight again, you can see that Floyd could have stepped back into the middle of the ring, but instead chose to stay against the ropes and let Cotto come in and trade shots. There were only a few times in the fight where Cotto drove Floyd back into the ropes himself. And Floyd always had enough space and bounce in his legs to escape the ropes and bring the fight back to the middle. You can see in the late rounds he still had enough bounce to step around Cotto and fight in the middle.

Maybe Floyd didn't step back in the middle of the ring because he needed the rest the ropes provided.

Floyds prime is gone. At this point in Floyds career winning by any means is all that matters. Cottos effort is being a bit overrated to the point that he won or drew, and Cotto clearly lost. I expected nothing less from Cotto. Great effort, but Floyds will to win is unmatched.

Floyd's will to duck is unmatched.

I'm not trying to make it sound easy but if you watch enough of his fights, you could learn all of is tricks.

This is what I meant the other week when I was saying you have to have like 6 game plans for Floyd. He will adapt as the fight progresses but you must also adapt. The shoulder roll can be beat by body punches, for instance....they just have to be set up with punches upstairs.

Floyd was throwing a wide right hand to hit Cotto as well. After the first time or so that he got tagged with it, he should have anticipated it coming again...Floyd sets it up with a jab and follows up with the looping right. It worked because Cotto kept his guard up and Floyd knew this (Cotto's hands were in front of Floyd's face so he knew Cotto couldn't counter him.) Cotto should have blocked the jab as normal and leaned to hi right and threw a jab right into Floyd's nose as he loaded up on the right.

I'm starting to believe Floyd Mayweather will never be viewed positively in some people's eyes. Floyd has fought the same way in the last 3 fights. Not only was he fighting with an injured hand but he also was under the weather. Still he was able convincingly beat a future Hall of Fame candidate. If he'd move around avoiding Cotto's attacks and still won the fight, people would be complaining about that.

This x 2. People always say that Floyd runs....they said he'd never fight Mosley or Cotto in a million years. They said his fights are boring. Some people truly hate Floyd and its disturbing honestly. You dont have to hate Floyd to love Manny, or vice versa.

Anyway, I'd still like to see a rematch. If Floyd was fighting with an injured left hand, taking away his check hook, then I'd like to see what happens when he's 100%. He could've put Cotto out in the 12th but let up.

Anywho, it was a hell of a fight. There shouldn't be a single complaint being that the decision was correct.

I thought Marquez proved to everyone that Pacquiao couldn't beat Floyd, lmao. I guess I was wrong. Pacquiaos fans still beliiiiiiieeeeeeeve!

[Fearless]

Lol @ saying that everything Mayweather threw landed and Cotto only won a few rounds lol. Tim Bradley stick to taking your PEDs, and stop analyzing boxing. Tim is walking around like a midget heavyweight right now. And Tim on PEDs is a dangerous thing because PEDs make your head bigger and we already know that's his is best weapon in the ring. Tim should have to wear a boxing glove like a fitted hat on his head. Bradley has no skills and is the most overrated boxer I've seen yet. He just comes forward with his head. I have Pac with a mid round KO.

You've won the award for post of the day...

Its only 2:41pm over where I am
