Why was Mayweather able to back Canelo up?

[Ray*]

Do you think Cotto lacking a good right hand may have hurt him
?? and i also noticed Cotto smothered a lot of his punches or threw them to far out..it's like he could not get his distance right

Cotto was never in range to land his power punches, he paid Canelo too much respect by moving a lot, Mayweather stayed in the pocket, made Canelo miss and then made him pay, in the end Canelo was a beating man before the fight was over, he was being walked down.

While Cotto could not back him up at all? It is really strange how Cotto could not even close to hurt or make him take a step back

Floyds punches kept hitting there mark

[_original_]

Floyd measured the distance perfectly early on, both in terms of his punching range and Canelo's zone of attack. It became a game of inches and Floyd got too comfortable as Canelo tried to beat the master at his own game and failed. To answer the question, l think Canelo was also going back to try to bait Floyd and counter him which was never going to work. His win over Canelo seems to be getting better with time.

Because Floyd is a master of timing and distance and his defense was good enough for him to stay in the pocket and counter.

Mayweather fanboys like to pretend that the fight wasn't at a catch weight and that Canelo wasn't weight drained lol.

accuracy


why was lil floyd able to hurt cotto more than anyone else since cotto has fought at 154 and above, including canelo? because he landed very clean shots almost at will on cotto.

He landed almost at will on canelo while cotto couldnt land chit because mayweather is faster and more accurate than cotto. He varies his punches, sets them up with feints, changes the speed, changes the level ect. to always keep them guessing and being unable to defend.
