Comments Thread For: Cotto Fight Won’t Show Canelo How to Win, Floyd Says

[Vasyl’s dad]

He won't fight a fighter that good at cutting off the ring until he fights Matthysse. Then it'll happen. Floyd didn't choose to fight that way.

"Oh yes he did!! He only gets hit when he wants to."

How dare you insult the great Floyd Mayweather?

[Mr. Philadel]

Floyd is a beast.....not your average savage type beast....he's a different type....it's crazy that dudes study fights that Floyd won 8-4 or 9-3.....if it's not the Oscar and Cotto fights, it's a fight more than a decade ago as if Floyd didn't evolve lol

I remember Freddie Roach had dudes gassed when he said he had the blueprint .....Cotto ate some shots that I think would drop Nelo....Cotto been successful against pure boxers throughout his career though....so I wasn't suprised he gave Floyd a good fight....plus Floyd fought Cotto toe to toe, he won't fight a fight night LHW the same way

Look at Cotto, Guerrero, Marquez, the Mosley and Ortiz fights to see how dirty of a fighter he is.

One thing that scares the Mayweathers about Canelo is his patience in the ring.

[Carpe Diem]

Without Pedro Diaz, I don't think the fight would have been competitive at all. Diaz understood Floyd's style. Cuban fighters fights as similar as Floyd. Diaz was able to improved Cotto's footwork and tightened up his defense[Floyd couldn't land the straight right and was forced to threw the overhand right]. Cotto made a dumb decision by firing him. You can have all the best boxing trainers in the world join forces to train you for the toughest fight of your career, but if you don't have the will to win, then there's nothing they can do to help you.


I think Canelo will give Floyd more problems because he throws punches with the intention of knocking his opponent out.

I refuse to believe he took unneccessary punishment for the fans' entertainment. It's never bothered him to win going away and not be exciting. He obviously still had the legs to do it, Cotto wouldn't let him.

You can refuse to believe it all you want, but facts are facts. Floyd showed in the very next fight that he as his legs and can move the way he wants to. Tell us all what Cotto did so differently from everyone else that MADE Floyd stand there right in front of him rather than moving around the ring. Let me guess... the Jedi Mind Trick?

[icebergisonfire]

Why are people on this board so clueless? Floyd clearly chose to fight Cotto with little mobility. He has been doing this every fight after his fight with Marquez. He said out his own mouth that he would be more aggressive after his fight with Marquez. Look at his fight with Ortiz,Mosley,Cotto. He barely uses his mobility. But look at his fight with Marquez where he uses it often. He said before his fight with Cotto that he would stand and fight Cotto and beat him at his own game. That was what he did. After that fight he then says that he would no longer use that style because "taking punishment isn't cool".

So he fights Guerrero and clearly goes back to the way he was fighting when he fought Marquez. Single shots and moving while setting up counters and what he normal does which is 2 punch combinations and them moving back into his safe zone. Why do you think Guerrero didn't have a Plan B? Because that idiot thought he would fight him just like he fought in his last 3 fights and didn't think that Floyd would use his legs. This is why Roach kept stating that he felt Floyd no longer had his legs because he stopped using his mobility.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

You gave Zab 6 rounds?

Unfortunately so. I gave Judah the first five and round 12. Round 5 could have gone either way though. Money took forever to take the the fight over and had me worried for a second.

But like I said Judah was faster than Floyd. The only fighter out there now that is faster is Amir Khan, but his jaw is made of paper maché.

[Frank Ducketts]

And I won't have to hear Danny's 12 fans act like he's a world class fighter anymore. Totally worth it.

12 fans where, here on this site? Belittling Matthysse's best win, IF he wins...doesn't make sense.

[Frank Ducketts]

Exactly you can't answer it. Stevens is no different than GGG, a hyped power puncher that hasn't proven himself, even less so than GGG though. You said "I don't like power punchers hyped up when they haven't proven anything." That's what Stevens is. There is but 1 major difference between him and GGG. Thanks for deflecting and proving my point.

This has to be possibly the ******est comparison/outlook that I've ever read-no disrespect, lmao.

You see Stevens being hyped? By who?

Read and learn well, I don't have to like GG or root for him, got that?

Half the time all I read is how sorry he is and how he lost to Jesse Brinkley.
