    8-4 7-5 are fair scores, anything wider/closer is getting further from reality.

    The way the scoring system works you could have an ultra competitive fight (like Bradley-Peterson) being 12-0. It's the same thing here. It was competitive throughout but I scored it 10-2.

    The commentary swayed common sense, about as partial as you can get.

    The fight was a May win before it started, Cotto had every physical disadvantage, and the mental damage Pac caused, plus May gets those injections illegal everywhere else but the place where this home town cooking took place. Plus close rounds are mean't to go to the champ, which Cotto was.

    Props to Cotto to ramming home May's face and making it a moral victory.

    While I see where Paulie is coming from, remember he was thoroughly beat up by Cotto, so I.am sure that has something to do with his reasoning and the fact that he now trains with wildcard.

    To be honest, the boxing world wants to see may and pac fight, and (hypothetically) lets say mayweather gets his ass beat for 12 rounds against whomever.

    whoever does it will not win on the judges cards. the judges will screw whoever to keep these guys unbeaten until they meet (if ever)

    these 2 must get knocked out to lose.

    Cotto is natural, and shorter, May is roided, taller and faster.

    and we know that was like five days before the fight, you had your cards filled out already mentally anyways.

    I had it 8-4 FMJ could have had it 7-5 Floyd won sure but to have such a score like that is a slap in the face to the sport.

    Yup, in my opinion Cotto did a great job of defending his title but he fell short, but not that ****ing short, the fight was close, Again I honestly think if a Pacquiao fight does take place they need to move it out of Vegas, because Floyd has had some favors handed over to him in which no other fighter would have gotten under the same circumstances

    I'm sorry but that was not a close fight. It was competitive, but a clear decision for Mayweather.

    beyond your ridiculous assertion that may is roided. You said he had every physical advantage. He weighed in 3 lbs lighter, who knows how much lighter he was on fight night. Your argument is invalid.
