Floyd's chin and stamina?

[Maravilla2012]

He never looks tired because he always dictate the temp of the fight. If he feels a little tired he will just cover up and move and pot shot. Its true that he only throws very few punches and that is so he won't get tired. You have to take him out of his tempo to get him tired but its a very hard thing to do.

I just like to see how Floyd's stamina holds up if he's being pressured an getting hit with effective punches, about the only fight I can recall Floyd being hurt, and in danger of losing was the 1st Castillo fight. Cotto might try studying some tapes of that fight.

Exactly I feel that Cotto has to make it a fight and rough him up. A lot of people are saying he has to jab and box with Floyd to win. But thats the mistake alot of fighters make , they go in there and stay at Floyd's tempo only throwing one punch at a time which is when Floyd just counters it. Cotto will have to throw combinations and get out of there as soon as he is done throwing it. Just hope that Cotto's stamina holds up

I agree the best defence is avoiding fights.

lmao, we can hope that he might have overloaded his ass accepting a fight with Cotto.

Floyd's stamina is an A+ and he also has a very good chin.. FLoyd's chin dont get mentioned too often but he has one of the best chins out there...

I don't think Floyd's chin has been tested very often. His defense and reflexes have allowed him to turn many hard punches into glancing blows. One notable exception was the Mosley fight, when Mosley rocked him with a good right hand. Floyd survived that... not only because he took it well... but thanks in great part to Mosley himself, who inexplicably and frustratingly went into a shell and never took advantage of the situation.

1. Floyd is going to stop Cotto. IMO, between rounds 6-8.

2. Stamina shouldn't even be a question. Floyd knows how to slow a fight down. No matter which Cotto comes out, Floyd's ability to adjust to any style, can slow a fight down. If Cotto try to fire 3 or 4 punch combinations, Floyd can laser tag him. If Cotto attack the body, Floyd will get in close and smother Cotto's punches and fight in the pocket. If Cotto try to counterpunch, Floyd will stomach jab him until he's zapped.

BUT
3. Floyd's chin? Floyd is getting older that's one. 2. He has been rocked a couple of times. Shane most recently, Chop Chop and Judah. He just recovered so quickly and was able to dominate seconds after we tend to forget. Hatton even had Floyd off balance. So I'm still of the opinion that Floyd's chin just haven't been tested enough to say its great.
Saying that . . .
Cotto best chance of winning to throw while Floyd is throwing and try to catch Floyd in an exchange. Difficult, I know cause Floyd will only throw one punch and look for Cotto's best punch coming back. Or Cotto can play possum. The one flaw I see Floyd having is when he tries I finish his opponent, he square his stance up. Besides that Floyd by KO 6-8.
