    If you think Mayweather/Cotto was a close fight. I have a pair of glasses I can mail to you, as you need them more than I do.

    Who was also boiled down to 145 and had no trainer. Who goes into fighting Manny Pacquiao without a trainer and thinking he can pull an upset?

    Fight was competitive but then it really wasn't. Cotto made Floyd work, but besideds a few really good stiff jabs, he didnt' land much clean. Floyd meanwhile was landing good body shots, looping rights, and uppercuts. He was throwing and landing combinations.

    As dominant as Floyd was, he probably would've even been more dominant or stopped Cotto if the fight was at 147 with 8oz gloves.

    :nut:rofl:rofl:rofl:patsch Seriously Floyd landed much much more cleaner than Cotto he also did more in each round sure they were close the way I see it not a shut out in terms of a 1st class ass whippen handed to miguel but an ass whippen in terms of rounds Floyd won all of them and won by doing a little bit better than Miguel did in each round.

    However I will say this looping arching right hand shots that were clearly blocked by Miguel Floyd was given credit for :-(

    At first the looping right hands were handing, then Miguel adjusted and began to block them, and that's when Floyd adjusted and started catching Miguel with the left uppercut.

    I thought Cotto won two clear rounds. (If I remember right, it was round 6 and 8.)

    Another round was close and could have gone to Cotto, but I thought Mayweather won the other rounds. I don't think it was close in terms of scoring, but Cotto made the fight fairly competitive at points. Mayweather was the clear winner.

    I actually think Judah vs Mayweather was closer (in terms of the score alone) than the Cotto fight, if you include the extra point Judah should have received for the knockdown.

    at first like the first couple of them, not like he was landing at will and it took miguel rounds to figure it out.
