    All I've learned from the Mayweather fight is that there is a huge difference between the Cotto, from between the two Margarito fights, and the current post-revenge Cotto. I'd like to see more of him, maybe a fight with Canelo?

    Floyd earned back my respect. Both of them put on a great fight and Floyd finally fought a great fighter that wasn't past it or low risk/high reward.

    Hopefully he fights Pac next.

    Good post...I think they split the event. I would like to see Cotto vs Alvarez.

    Floyd by late stoppage. TKO10 was my pick on the latest edition of "On the Ropes".

    This was not the first time I was wrong on a fight prediction, and surely it will not be the last.

    My exact words can be seen here:

    You would've been right had Cotto not protested against the use of the 8oz gloves.

    I think Cotto earned some more big fights BUT Mayweathers next fight is going to be that much bigger because the fans really enjoyed this fight. He won the event.

    Not in the 10th.

    Mayweather would have been having to eat the shots with 8oz too

    Them Jabs might have dropped him once or twice

    Dude, take those PR blinders off for a second and think. Cotto was able to block more shots because of the larger gloves with extra padding, that's the very reason he gave for wanting them.

    Those looping rights Mayweather was hitting him with early in the fight would've done serious damage. Mayweather would've been faster as well.

    you are saying ridiculous stuff take the blinders off Cotto did good with some pressure thats about it at no point would Floyd have hit the canvas even if it was a damn bare knuckle fights
