    But Cotto had the right strategy early on at least, because Floyd expected Cotto to flurry him and Cotto backed off, then shot in beautifully.

    To me that's the only way to beat Floyd, is constantly change strategy so he can't anticipate what you're going to do. But no fighter to date has been successful at doing that for 12 rounds.

Even the Judah thing was only a potential technical knock(referee’s discretion) down because he used his glove to maintain his balance. I think the knee he took against Castillo due to his shoulder was the only official knock down of his career. He was never actually knocked off of his feet.
      did you even watch either Floyd vs Castillo fight? stick to race baiting.

            As long as you know you're reported for race baiting. Although I'd encourage you to keep the antics up so I can report you for TROLLING/spamming as well. Take this time to mature.

              Yea that was my mistake. I watched these in real time 19-20 years ago and got the names and detail confused. Overall point remains though. Dude was never actually knocked off of his feet.

              Don't mind him. He’s one of these alt right types who thinks that he’s a victim of non white people. He’s mad because I made a fool of him in another thread. That’s why he leapt to troll me here.

                    Floyd would sometimes strike with his chin in the air. Yet no one ever knocked him down by hurting him.

                    Shane, Maidana, and Corley came the closest to knocking Floyd down by hurtinghim but no cigar.
                    Zab wasnt a flash knockdown his glove touched because his foot caught up, the punch hardly touched him, if you can find a version that shows the feet you can see it.

                    Floyd has never had the seat of his pants on the canvas because he has a great chin, great reflexes and great balance and off course he is so hard to hit clean.

                    Floyd got touched but look at the feet, its the catching of the stretched out foot that caused the stumble, they were catching their feet all night, happens a lot when lead feet are the mirror same.

                    .

                      ha! when you're argument is based on assigning beliefs to others, you've lost.

                      "leapt to troll you here" doe. definitely couldn't have just randomly been looking at a thread to find you not knowing wtf you're talking about. of course you don't like that version of events.
