Wasn't his biggest fan after the Hatton fight but I just have to face the fact this guy is the P4P best boxer on the planet and a boxing genius. He's up there beside Ali. |
There's so many things about Mayweather's boxing that take a really fine eye to appreciate but show he truly is a master.
Many times during that fight the crowd was going mental for Cotto because he was throwing a load of punches and had Mayweather on the ropes, but that was exactly where Mayweather wanted to be, and the punches just weren't landing. Which was pretty much the same as the Ortiz fight, where people were convinced Ortiz was winning and Mayweather took the easy way out because he was getting hurt when in reality Ortiz was swinging a lot and missing with everything. Floyd is just ridiculously hard to hit.
It was interesting watching Mayweather fight in 10oz gloves, the extra size of them made for a completely different fight. Mayweather is all about precision and finding the gap in a guys guard, 10oz gives a far bigger guard compared to 8oz, so rather than being able to hit through he was throwing a weird sort of overhand right where it was starting out quite straight but then looping in at the end around Cotto's guard.
It's just crazy how much of an eye he has for everything, his reactions are just unbelievable. I hope Arum stops being a dick and lets the Manny fight happen, because Manny just isn't going to stand a chance, Floyd will wipe the floor with him and it'll finally shut up the "Floyd is ducking Manny" idiots.
