    Cotto looked like a confident Puerto Rican gangster against Floyd in their face off, and that didn't do **** for him.
    Cotto would pull that face against the Devil himself. Just the way he is.

      I wouldn't say he was scared. He just sucks at handling confrontations

        I would say yes, but pre hype don't mean much.

Nobody would really be saying anything if Guerrero hadn't ran his mouth so much in interviews about Floyd. Then when Floyd is his face verbally abusing him, Guerrero had nothing to say and looked rather submissive; just not a good look, I was expecting Guerrero hold his own. What makes it even worse is that after the face off, Guerrero wants to play the tough guy again by stating that when he gets heated he'll just swing.


          That's where I thought he killed himself. If he would've just said something like " I'm not a talker we'll see on the 4th what's what" .
          But the whole "I would've swung" after the fact is not a good look. Especially when Floyd was saying "I'm in your face , what u gonna do about it."

            He probably didnt think Floyd was gonna come out as confrontational as he did. He did look rattled a little bit.

                He looked pretty good trying to handle Berto.

                  Yes he was shook. Thing is, **** talking on twitter and during interviews is one thing, but I think Floyd's aggression and size honestly made him uncomfortable. I truly think he was intimidated a little bit and probably thought Floyd was softer than he is. People make assumptions Floyd is this little soft pretty boy who runs or does this and that. In reality it is quite different. He is stronger, grittier and tougher than people think and he does not back down. Don't confuse boxing skill with fear or running. Shane rocked Floyd with a shot that would have dropped a horse and Floyd recovered and walked him down the rest of the fight. I am not saying Ghost is scared, not at all. I don't think he is scared, I just think reality set in somewhat in that confrontation and he realized what his mouth got him into honestly. He has run his mouth forever about Floyd and Floyd was hot about him running around saying he is going to dominate him and take his 0 etc.

                    What is Guerrero going to do? Take a swing at Floyd? That is his biggest payday and he is not going to risk hurting Floyd before the fight cause he is getting an opportunity for big money.

                    Guerrero is going to swallow all of Floyd's shinanighans till the end

                      Guerrero was not in the least bit intimidated and I doubt any top 147 pounder would be because when they stand in front of Floyd, they are seeing the millions they make. Easy money.....Millions for 45 minutes of work preceeded by 2 months of training and you become an instant multimillionaire. He was probably more concerned about throwing a punch at Floyd and ruining his Riches.
