Thread: Floyd Mayweather reminds me of:

Ex 200m & 400m runner Michael Johnson because no matter how hard he his pushed across the first 3/4 he'll always pull away at the end!

Floyd won his fight 9-3/8-4 against the best version of Cotto to date, would say that constitutes a pretty stellar showing for any boxer active right now. He could probably have stopped him too, meaning he beat him handily with gas left in the tank. Not bad at all.

I prefer to think of it as Floyd being tested in the process of defeating a version of Cotto that would've very likely beaten Pacquiao. Pretty stellar performance by Floyd.

styles make fights. Pac still would have beaten that version of Cotto. It probably would have taken longer and Cotto would have taken less of a beating, but he would have likely lost wide nonetheless.

Obviously, we'll never know unless they have a rematch. I'm hoping it happens, since a Floyd-Pac fight is unlikely to occur.

a spoilt child with no respect for anyone at times, and at other times he seems very respectful and even humble. he's a great villain in many my eyes and i only watch his fights in hope that someone will beat him, i can't ever see it happening in my lifetime because he is truely the greatest of my generation

Pacquiao beats Cotto 10 times out of 10. He destroyed Cotto, beat him down to the point where Cotto went into full survival mode.

It had nothing to do with weight, or gameplans, or anything like that. Pacquiao punched harder, moved faster, and took a punch better than Cotto. The Cotto who fought Floyd doesn't beat Manny, he gets TKOd just like the 2009 version of Cotto did.

Cotto is one of my favorite fighters, but anyone suggesting that Cotto could beat Pacquiao has forgotten what their first fight looked like.

That's your opinion. Mine is that Cotto had no clue as to how to establish a gameplan against Pacquiao. He actually started the Pac fight pretty good and arguably took the first two rounds. Beyond that, he had no corner to give him direction. Plus his stamina was still suspect at that time. Pedro Diaz not only has worked on improving Cotto's stamina... he's also taken over the corner as the boss every fighter needs. Given that Cotto gave Floyd his toughest fight in quite some time, it stands to reason he'd have a pretty good chance against Pacquiao.
