    Cotto DEFINITELY won round 6 and round 8(?). Very clear rounds.

    Well he could have eaten a big meal before the weigh in and I saw him drinking alot of fluids before the weigh in too.

    So after a while the weight could have dropped back off especially if he had trained especially hard....

    It would have been good to have HBO verify this but it is possible.

    He won clearly no doubt, but I think the wrist hurt etc is an excuse for not actually being able to drop/tko/ko Cotto, obviously he has a huge ego, and he would have liked to have got a tko or ko over a decision win and thats mainly because Pacquiao got the tko win over Cotto.

    an injured hand? isn't it floyd's reason as well why he struggled against castillo before? and he went from 151 to 147 on fight night? can anyone confirm this? believing in floyd is like wanting to believe in arum.

    ****ing excuses, excuses from PBF and Pacman. SNV never makes excuses.

    Most other fighters I'd give the benefit and take their word. This is Mayweather, him and bull**** go hand in hand. Plus he loves trying to overstate his accomplishments compared to Pacquiao's, saying he beat Cotto at his comfortable weight of 154 as a WW with an injured hand falls right into that. If he doesn't use it to hype his win up in future, then maybe I'll start to believe it.

    So an injured wrist makes your defence worse? Lol it's all bull**** excuses because he got bashed about more than he thought he would.

    I called a hand problem in round 8, when he put nothing on his shots, it looked like he was injured then

    People saw him drinking before weigh in. Why put on extra weight if its not going to help and he plans on continuing at WW?

    Everytime Floyd has a bit of a struggle he claims he had some sort of an injury going into the fight, its getting tiring to say the say the least.
