can u back that up and explain how? i mean weve seen both fighters go 12 rounds a few times, and weve seen both fighters hold their strengh and use it in later rounds. COTTO knocking out Judan in the 11th and Floyd knocking out Hatton in the 10th or 11th(cant remember) but anyways, i think that it takes a lot of stamina to put presure, strengh and power all the the way to those late rounds, i mean is not like they knocked out scrubs, cause Hatton got great chin and hart and so does judah(he took so many shots i was surprise he lasted 11 rounds)
i'll put it like this. floyd would finish the fight with more energy. yes, cotto can go at a decent pace for 12 rounds, but i feel floyd can go harder and faster than cotto for 15 rounds if need be. the man trains while he's on vacation for pete's sake! he doesn't let his weight fluctuate like every other fighter does every since his sparring mishap with spadafora years ago. this suggests to me that floyd is the better conditioned athlete against whoever he enters the ring with him. being in better shape than his opponent on fight night is the one thing that he can always rely on.

but how do u know that cottos stamina isnt as good?, what makes u think that cotto dosent train as hard, i mean the guy fights 2 to 3 times a year, it takes a lot of training for that. While in the other hand floyd fights once a year... c'mon man use ur logic....

The number of fights per year has nothing to do with stamina when dealing with Floyd. The guy doesn't take days off. He literally trains daily. There's a reason why so many people have said Floyd could fight 20 rounds.

it's often stated that cotto' weight can get up there(not in hatton like fashion but he'll put on some pounds) in between fights. floyds weight doesn't flucuate...........period. logic tells me the guy who doesn't let his weight flucuate is the better conditioned athlete. my logic is always in use, playa.

yeah but what can you say to back up the fact that Cotto dosent train as hard?
how do u know that Cottos weight goes up? do u know the guy? do u scale him? the guy maintains his weight and when ur about to fight fighters like Judah and Mosely in less than a year ur training ur ass off, and now Margy, c'mon playa, thats logic....

because it's been stated numerous times what his walk around weight is. i've read his walk around weight was somewhere around 170lbs. notice that they seldomly list cotto's weight the night of the fight. the powers that be don't want to list the vast weight advantage cotto typically enjoys on fight nights. this is a reason why i'm looking forward to seeing him in with a fighter who walks around weighing the same as he does. he's not going to be able to bully margy like he's done with smaller fighters like shane and zab. hell, shane had him backing up at the end of the fight.
