Diaz: Mayweather a normal fighter

[CubanGuyNYC]

I translated the interview yesterday. It's at the top of page 7 for anyone interested. Diaz didn't say anything ridiculous.

[Brother Jay]

LOOK AT THIS CORNBALL NIGA HERE.

Did you also know Chavez Jr. holds the compubox record for most body punches landed in one fight? And he's such a great fighter right? Did you know Chavez Jr. is also undefeated, many have tried and many have failed, even while studying his tapes. But is he great? NOPE. He's beatable too. You nigas let these lil things fool you - "Oh, he's undefeated!." So? Your boy cherry picked his way to that record and was helped by judging. And if Cotto is so wack than you agree that he is still continuing his cherry-picking ways? LMAOOOO, Cotto is used to taking O's away. He's fought and beat like 7 undefeated fighters to Floyd's two. But you got it black man, you're so dominant that I can't possibly win an argument so, PEACE!

1 - Just because you act rude and ****** doesn't mean that your **** isn't completely transparent.

2 - I never endorsed anything Chavez has ever done. So mentioning that already demonstrates how desperate you are to make a point at any cost.

3 - Achieving a milestone in one fight and maintaining a standard over 15 years are TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

4 - Being undefeated against an array of tune ups and opponents is not the same of being undefeated against the best one's era had to offer. The only way to consistently fight the best is to face the #1 and 2 fighters in every division one competes in. We all know that Cotto has NOT done that.

5 - How does once cherry pick by fighting the #1 &/or 2 in every division he's competed in over 15 years? That's just more childish talk from an insecure fanboy who wants to be right but doesn't have the mental tools to work with to make a decent point.

6 - You talk about Cotto fighting 7 undefeated fighters, but why do you refuse to talk about Cotto never winning a non-vacant title until he fought Foreman? Every title Cotto has EVER had before Foreman was a vacant title ... meaning he sidestepped REAL champions in favor of seeking paper belts to legitimize his so-called ascension in the ranks at jrWW and WW.

7 - Talk about how Cotto's only noteworthy win comes over Mosley, in a fight that many thought should have gone the other way. Its the first time Miguel has beaten a world class fighter, and he couldn't even ride that momentum more than 8 months before he got a savage beating that has wannabe thugs like you STILL making excuses.

You clearly need a hug. You're arguing with me about something that was never intended for you to feel so butthurt about. No one was talking to you. You saw me ask someone else a question and you went berserk.

They have medication for that nowadays, Hiphop. Seek help.

OK I AM Sorry, I apologize for the misunderstanding. Thought you were going around bashing on Cotto and I stated my reasons for why I doubt he wasn't a paper champ. The belts and mandatory's are silly as hell, people get belts for BS fights all the time, of course Cotto would be one of them. I can't really get into those technical things you speak of with the #1 or #2 mandatory, those things are run by silly WBC's and WBO's for belts man. I talk about the fighters fighting guys who may actually beat them in their division. Just bc Marquez was top ten fighter doesn't mean anybody in any division can fight him and make it acceptable. That win was trash to me man. Cotto (IMO) would have TKO'd Marquez. I think Cotto has done great with taking challenges and rebuilding himself after being plastered to death and his personal woes so far. A lot of real boxing people agree with me and I get surprised, like Dan Rafael and Steward and these guys who are Cotto fans, but their objective and call it like it is. I love all fighters of any race too it's not just b/c he's Rican. Its just silly what some people come up with to discredit Cotto. No, nobody really thought Mosley won that fight. There was no outcry for a rematch or robbery like we just saw with Campillo over Cloud or Diaz over Malignaggi or countless other travesties. It was a fair unanimous decision. I can carry on a civil debate but my bad if you still think I'm too hip hop that's cool.

Glad to see you popped a pill.

Still, let me show you something so that you don't think I was just being an assshole:

Let me ask you this, Malik:

Why is Cotto one of your favorite fighters?

I mean .. his biggest win came over Mosley, who was coming back down to 147 after a failed attempt to become a force at 154. Other than that, what has Cotto shown you that would have you choose him as a favorite?

I'm just curious.

How in the world do you get anything from the above quote but what I was asking?

I want you see the quote, read it, and then tell me the part where I led you to believe that I was endorsing Chavez Jr, and devaluing Miguel Cotto.

I'm all for a good debate, but I don't have time for the bull****. Its a little surprising to see you switch up like this. Its almost like you had someone else type your last reply so to finesse it up a bit, but I won't begrudge you the opportunity to show a little refinement.

Just READ what you're replying to before you come at guys with posts that read like lame rap videos.

I will, however, give you respect for supporting your fighter though and at least TRYING to articulate your position. You are better than 99% of *******s.

[studentofthegam]

My boy Coto is getting beat bad . I can already see it. Floyd was probably gonna be nice in the build up but now he will trash the whole Cotto team for sure in the media.

[LoStranger]

STOP COTTO? DUDE I AM WILLING TO BET MY ACCOUNT THAT DON'T HAPPEN, ARE YOU? SERIOUSLY. SAME WAY HE STOPPED MARQUEZ? AND MOSLEY? OH, YOU MUST MEAN THE SUCKA PUNCH. RIIIIIGHT.

Marquez and Mosley have never been stopped Cotto's punch resistance and stamina isn't as good as Marquez and Mosleys

I don't listen to idiots rant on youtube videos, nuff of that **** on here obviously. You guys are OD not giving Cotto respect.

Dude i've been a Cotto fan since his 140 lbs days just calling it how I see it

If Floyd doesn't knock him out I'm siggin your **** all day - he's going to win via potshots if he does.

Cotto has shown he can be broken down with hard power shots If Floyd sees you breaking down he'll open up there's specific reasons why he didn't open up against Marquez

Those heavyweights you have down there would not have been winning so much fights had the Soviet Union not been communists. The Klitchko's are proof of that, whippin all types of black ass.

LOL I list some of my fav Black fighters who I feel proud of and every1 always looks to shoot it down what is it about blacks expressing racial pride that makes guys short fuse?

You're just another black dude who likes Floyd bc he's black. Had he been Rican it would be different.

Whats wrong with a black person supporting a black fighter don't you support Miguel Cotto bcuz he's Rican? don't Mexicans support Mexicans don't Filipinos support Filipinos?

Diaz already trying to figure out what type of gameplan beats that. What's the problem? Diaz never called him normal like we use the word, he meant a person like all of us, with weaknesses.

My mistake I thought he was insulting him

He already lost to Castillo 1 and fought to a draw with DLH. But he's dominant bc he's black. How about DLH in his prime? Would have whipped that boy.

You do know there was a rematch even though I had Floyd winning the first one close and come even u know that DLH split decision was a joke

[Puya]

Every trainer thinks they have the remedy to beat Floyd, so far they've all failed. The fact to the matter is, Floyd is unpredictable.

\every trainer thinks he has the remedy for his fighter opponent

[SkillspayBills]

All I say is watch Cotto's punch output. If by the 3rd round he is throwing 30 punches a round he will be getting DOMINATED.

[Puya]

Floyd has no strategy nor gameplan. Floyd fights as if he's reading ur mind and knows ur flaws soon as u step in the ring. If anything u have to have a gameplan on what NOT to do against him and to overcome of not beating urself up over it, which all 41 fighters have done.

keep believing that nonsense, Floyd is a great student of the sport. Of course he watch and study his opponent videos ( tapes is an old/non-existent technology)

[Danny Gunz]

I always thought the best chance one would have to beat Mayweather is to just completely take him out of his element.

Get dirty with him throw some elbows, rough him up in the clinch, talk **** to him. And I dont mean isolated fouls like what Ortiz and Judah did, I mean just piss him off the whole fight. Floyd is so used to being in complete control, and it has been like that his whole career, take him out of that and confuse him.

Everyone always says the same stuff coming into the fight. I swear every time at some point the trainer says something along the lines of "if Floyd wants to do his shoulder roll all night we will just **** up on his shoulder".
