Cotto should be happy with his performance though; a lot of guys were saying he'd get Gatti'd and wouldn't win even one round, but he gave Floyd a rough time for awhile.

I think Cotto would have done better had the fight taken place in 2008, but that's just me. Margarito and Pacquiao both permanently damaged his punch resistance/made him kind of paper-faced.

2008 Cotto stops Floyd!!

ok my mistake... 2008 Cotto stops 2012 Floyd and he gives 2008 Floyd hell!

I scored it 7-5 Floyd, but I had a bunch of drunk Ricans screaming in my ears the whole time.

10-2 floyd

7-5 floyd much closer than bradley vs pac

[Bogotazo]

First time I scored it was 6-6 without even rounds, and 6-4-2 for Floyd including 2 even rounds, but even though I was trying to be objective, I have to recognize potential bias after the excitement of watching it the first time and seeing Miguel do so well. I'll probably score it again. There were a lot of close rounds though, and I agree there was more of a case for Cotto than there ever was for Bradley.

No it wasn't. Pac didn't do shit the last 4 rounds of that fight. PBF dominated Cotto.

I had Floyd by an easy UD. 10-2 or 9-3. Cotto landed nothing more than jabs. Floyd was landing crisp counters and was the aggressor / dictator of the fight.

Cotto having Floyd against the ropes doesn't mean he dictated the fight. Yes, he pinned Floyd, but pinning someone usually indicates landing/trading punches and that's something Cotto was unable to do (other than a few jabs). All the while Floyd landed counter/cleaner punches. So I believe Floyd dictated the pace/style of that fight, despite being against the ropes for nearly half the fight.

2008 Cotto versus 2012 Floyd would be an interesting fight. At least I think so.

2008 Floyd dominates 2008 Cotto and 2012 Floyd dominated 2012 Cotto. But 2008 Cotto and 2012 Floyd would be an awesome fight to watch

[Nonito Smoak]

9-3 Mayweather

Cotto won two decisive rounds and Mayweather won seven decisive rounds in my opinion, so anything from 7-5 to 10-2 is acceptable for me. No way in hell Cotto won 6 of those rounds, sorry.

Exactly PBF landed the cleaner and harder blows. The fact that PBF got his nose busted up by jabs and he was able to pin PBF against the ropes gave the illusion that he was doing better than he actually was. When in fact he was losing rounds clearly and taking a lot of punishment. I guess the fact that people thought PBF was going to put on a Gatti type of performance led them into thinking Cotto did better and it was a close fight. PBF won that fight going away 10-2 or 9-3 at worst.

Pac Knocked his ass out! LMAO...

No you didn't, STFU.

[sbbigmike]

That ass whipping Mayweather put on Cotto probably take years of his career, whoever thinks Cotto won more than 3 rounds doesn't know shit about boxing

Floyd being pinned against the ropes and the fact that Floyd bled really influenced some people's perception on the fight. It's so damn important, imo, to watch a fight on mute. HBO announcers, in particular, do not call what is happening. They have a script and they try to blend their script with the fight, or at least it seems like that.

Floyd looked solid in his fight vs Cotto even though he was much less mobile than what he used to be.
