By Dan Ambrose: Floyd Mayweather Jr. was having a lot of fun on the latest HBO Mayweather-Cotto 24/7 series episode 2 installment. Mayweather pretty much carried the entire episode on his shoulders with his larger than life physical presence and charisma.
The interest seemed to die off completely every time Cotto was shown in his portions of the episode. Cotto seemed to be more in need of props to keep the interest up, such as his trainer and his friend Bryan Perez. Instead of Cotto holding up his end, it seemed like both Diaz and Perez out-performed him with their honest thoughts. The only problem with Diaz was he couldn’t speak England and everything had to be translated into print for the viewers to read it, but it still came off a lot more interesting for me than listening to Cotto talk about this or that. Cotto needs some kind of help to make him more interesting, because it’s just boring every time the camera is on him.
At one point in the episode, Mayweather pretended to be sending an e-mail to Cotto in which Mayweather said while typing “How are you doing Miguel Cotto? Tell Puerto Rico that Floyd Mayweather loves Puerto Rico, and don’t be late for your a** whipping on May 5th.”
The funny thing about the episodes was how hard Cotto was working out compared to Mayweather. While Cotto seemed to be really sweating with all the various training routines that his trainer Pedro Diaz had him doing, Mayweather was having fun in hitting the speed bag with one hand while talking on a cellphone with his free hand, and hitting the mitts with his trainer Roger Mayweather. Floyd is so athletic that he has fun even when doing the same kind of hard work. Just watching Floyd move around his mansion in Las Vegas, you can tell that he’s a lot lighter on his feet than Cotto.
Cotto is going to have big problems in this fight unless Diaz’s supposedly unbeatable game plan is enough to get him past the more talented Mayweather.I don’t see that happening. Maybe in the make believe world of television a fighter like Cotto could beat Mayweather, but not in brutal reality. It doesn’t happen like that in real life. The strong survive and the weak get picked apart. Cotto unfortunately is going to get picked apart by Mayweather on May 5th. It’s going to neat and quick like a surgeon performing a simple operation that he’d one countless times. Cotto will come out and get torn apart by Mayweather.
