Mayweather fights on May 5th
JD Wrote:Because I don't think he will be as offensive as the one we saw with Mosley/Hatton/Ortiz. Partly because I think Mayweather relies on his opponents offense to open up.Fitz Wrote:See but here is where we must go in different directions...this is nowhere near the pre-Margarito (the version you gave a solid chance to win) version of Cotto; not physically, not mentally, not reflex wise.JD Wrote:I think Cotto may have appeared faster, but I didn't see a sudden marked improvement in handspeed...I do believe his opponent had something to do with looking faster.JD, I don't think Cotto is better mentally than in his fight with Mosley. I think after his first Margarito fight he had a lot of problems, and seemed like confidence issues. He is in a better place now. Cotto has a balance, and not as predictable as the others. He makes him wait more. I think Mayweather throws more single shots at a time than putting punches together. Like he did with DLH/Baldomir/Marquez. This style I think we see from Mayweather gives up some early rounds, kind of like how Hopkins lost early rounds. I think Cotto will be aggressive earlier and the judges will like early in the fight. In a nutshell, I think we see the less offensive version of Mayweather. I like Cotto matching up against the version of Mayweather I predict. Like you said earlier, that's why they fight the fights. Just remember Cotto had no chance in the rematch with Margarito either, especially after the face-off and Cotto saying he is not willing to die in the ring. |
